Introducing the Hoo Knives Phoenix + Number Availability

Happy New Year from all of us at Hoo Knives! 🎊

As we step into 2025, we’re excited to embrace new beginnings, and what better way to celebrate than by introducing our latest design: 

Why Phoenix?👀

In mythology a Phoenix obtains new life by rising from the ashes of its predecessor, a bit like how all our designs have similarities but are also different.

This design is entirely fresh from the V1-V4 range and as such has a distinctive name to mark the shift of the design. 

Hoo Knives Phoenix Numbering: 

For those looking to secure a numbered Hoo Knives Phoenix, You can make a number request by using the ‘Order notes’ box on the checkout page. 

When it comes to number request we operate on a first come first served basis and always try to do our upmost do fulfil your request. 

Only the first production run of Satin blade Hoo Knives Phoenix will be numbered 1-220.

Requested numbers will be updated to unavailable as orders are placed and request are made, this list can be viewed on this page anytime.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us through our website live chat, our any of our social media platforms or via email.

Kindest regards,
The Hoo Knives Team

Hoo is thrilled to share that due to overwhelming demand, we’ve decided to open early pre-orders for our latest knife design, the Hoo Knives V4 – Tanto.

You can now secure yours through our website: https://hooknives.com/product/hoo-knives-v4-tanto

Your pre-order plays a vital role in turning this design into a reality.

We have set a pre-order goal of 75 out of the total 250 we plan to bring to production In the unlikely event that we don’t meet our pre-order goal, rest assured, that all customers will receive a full refund.

Below you can see the total number of pre-orders currently made towards our goal:

Number Requests:

After a specific Number for your Hoo Knives V4?

The Hoo Knives team will be trying to accommodate as many people as possible and will fulfil number requests whenever we can.

In cases where a number request overlaps with another customer(s) request, an alternative number may be issued. 

You can make requests at the bottom of the checkout page under ‘ Order Notes ‘ as shown below. If possible we ask you to give us a first and second choice as an alternative. 

To track number requests we will keep a note and mark off each number as it is requested and share this on the progress tracker for everyone to see. 

More information regarding the production will be available as we move through the various stages.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a pre-order, the product will not be sent to you until production is completed and the products land with us for dispatch. We expect the batch of Tanto V4s will be ready for dispatch sometime in July of 2024, however, we are airing on the side of caution and asking customers not to expect their V4s until August 2024. 

UPDATE 11/04/2024: Great news, the Hoo Knives V4 prototype is now complete and we’ve dived straight into testing. Follow our social media channels for updates on its performance and stay tuned for the latest!

UPDATE: 29/04/2024: We are delighted to announce that production is now underway for the Hoo Knives V4, pre orders will remain open until production has been completed – a huge thank you to everyone who has supported the latest design!

UPDATE: 17/05/24: Since our last update production is well underway and we are on the right side of schedule to have all Hoo V4s completed sometime in July, as we get closer to July we will have closer estimates for dispatch dates to all customers who have pre-ordered.

UPDATE: 26/05/24: Hoo Knives has now hit our V4 pre-order target, a major thank you to everyone who has pre-ordered. Pre-Orders will remain open until the V4s land with us, then we will move to standard orders.

UPDATE 08/06/24: Production has now been completed on all V4s and we have now moved onto the assembly stage. This is the final stage before they make their way to us and then onto their final destinations of the pockets of everyone who has ordered! Thank you to everyone for your patience throughout the process, we continue ahead of schedule and more updates will come as we fly through the final stages.

UPDATE 10/07/24: Assembly has now been completed and all V4s along with the small restock of V3s are now making their way to the Hoo offices before dispatch to all customers who have pre-ordered. We expect dispatch to take place sometime in August and will give a more definitive date on this progress tracker as soon as they have landed with us.

UPDATE 22/07/24: The eagle has landed, all Hoo V4s along with a small restock of V3s have arrived!

Not only this, the Hoo team has already started dispatching pre-orders and we expected to have all orders dispatched by the end of this week.

A huge thank you to everyone for your patience throughout the process, we can’t wait till the V4s land with you all!💪
