RobbieG Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 As watch guys we all of course tend to appreciate the finer things in life. I also like to give plugs to those who do exceptional work. I have bought a few pieces from him over the years and can't say enough about him. My Father turned me on to him and in fact I just ordered another knife for myself. So for those of you that are unfamiliar, may I present William Henry. Maker of the some of the coolest pocket knives (and pens) you ever saw. Each piece takes at least 8 months and over 800 steps to complete. The pocket knife equivalent to A. Lange & Sohne complications... http://www.williamhenrystudio.com/catalog.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Interesting...thanks RobbieG! I know someone who might like this sort of thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Yes, great stuff Shundi. They are not cheap with starting prices approaching a grand, but hey, you only live once right? For me, I just love the fact that in this cheap ass - mechanized - just microwave and serve - Wal Mart world we live in there is still someone out there that spends a year making a f'n letter opener. God bless him. I almost want to just send him another grand without getting anything in return as a way of saying how much I appreciate the last of these dying breeds. One day they will all be gone and that will be a sad, sad day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 There's not much better looking than a Damascus blade Thanks for the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Agreed, Damascus is the stone nuts. Not to mention the age old Japanese technique of wood grained metal that is also a dying art - Mokume as I got on a recent knife I just ordered from them. Just love their stuff. Amazing...
