	''Hennicke, a master craftsman known for his exquisite hand-forged Damascus blades, began his career in knifemaking in 1996. After visiting the Mainz artist’s market, he became fascinated with custom knives and ultimately apprenticed under Hermann Gradinger. Although his first knives were made by stock removal, he quickly graduated to forged blades and began making knives full time. His beautifully handcrafted knives are highly prized by collectors worldwide.''

	''Hennicke liked Sony’s idea and agreed to participate in the project. With Sony’s input, Hennicke set about designing a knife that retained all the salient qualities of the original Police model, while incorporating his own distinctive design flair. The result is the Ulize, which takes its name from Ulrich’s nickname “Uli” and the German word for “police.” Hennicke produced a prototype of the knife and presented it, and the project concept, to Spyderco’s founder Sal Glesser at the IWA trade show in Germany. Based on the public’s positive response to the prototype and the project’s noble cause, Spyderco decided to manufacture the Ulize. It was released in 2012.''" <ref name="current catalog">The C161 ~~Air~~ in [https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C161G/777 Spyderco's online catalog]</ref>		''Hennicke liked Sony’s idea and agreed to participate in the project.
