William Henry

William Henry is one of the very best of the semi-handmade, semi-production, knife makers. These knives are made to extremely high quality standards of materials and precision in workmanship.

William Henry® B5 with Carved Mammoth Ivory

When I sat down to write the copy for this new William Henry knife, I decided to do a little review of the Limited Edition knives that Matt Conable and his crew have made for us since we began working with them. It is hard to believe that it has been only seven years. We offered the first A. G. Russell Exclusive from William Henry in late 2000. In going back through the many projects, I found a quote from Matt that I thought you might enjoy reading again.

William Henry GenTac

William Henry's newest version of the GenTac is a 100 piece limited edition produced exclusively for A. G. Russell customers and members of the Knife Collectors Club. The 3 1/8" blade is Devin Thomas' Dot Matrix stainless Damascus at 59-61 Rc.

William Henry Kestral with Typhoon Damascus & Mammoth Bone

First fossilized Mammoth Ivory and then Mammoth Tooth became very desirable for knife handles. Over the past few years, we have seen a few handmade knifemakers use Mammoth Bone. This material varies widely in its appearance because bone starts out very absorbent and easily picks up color from the minerals in the soil where it has laid for thousands of years. Unlike ivory, which will usually have color on the surface (bark), Mammoth Bone will have absorbed the color through the entire thickness.

William Henry GenTac

This is another wonderful, limited edition from the magic fingers in the William Henry shop, this one limited to 50 pieces produced exclusively for members of the Knife Collectors Club and A. G. Russell customers.

William Henry Chardonnay

The B5 Chardonnay is the first ever offering of a William Henry button lock built as an interframe. It was designed and built exclusively for A. G. Russell customers.

William Henry Lancet with Ribbon Lace and Mammoth Tooth

This is another very limited and unique Lancet Button Lock from Matt Conable and the crew at William Henry Knives! It is a simple model B10 with Titanium frame that has been dressed up with Mammoth Tooth handle scales and a 2-5/8" drop point blade of Mike Norris Ribbon Lace Damascus.

William Henry® Lancet

This elegant little jewel of a Gentleman's Folder is made by William Henry® Knives, the all time top recipient of Blade Magazine's Overall Knife of the Year® and Investor Collector Knife of the Year® awards. The Lancet is a slim folder that carries well in a suit pocket but is also right at home clipped to the top of the pocket of your Dockers® or Wranglers® .

William Henry Westcliff (B7)

This beautiful and unique version of the William Henry Westcliff was the fifth model that Matt Conable created especially for A. G. Russell customers in 2006.

The Westcliff has a very nice general purpose 2-7/8" Modified Wharncliffe blade. The bolsters are Koftgari; a method of inlaying gold or silver into steel that has been used in India since ancient times to decorate knife and sword handles and sheaths.

William Henry GenTac

The William Henry GenTac was chosen as the Blade Magazine 2006 Overall Knife of the Year® in June 2006. We immediately arranged an exclusive version with Wooly Mammoth Bark Ivory and William Henry?s ZDP-189 Wave Damascus.
