The Catalina '07 Collection showcases fossil mammoth tooth scales. This exquisite material ranks among the most exotic in the world. Gorgeous Damascus frames and blades create symmetry in each remarkable piece.

The frames are built from solid ladder Damascus, hand-forged, machined, hand-finished, and etched to reveal a vertical pattern to join the dramatic stripes of the colorful mammoth tooth. Each blade is hand-ground and mirror polished, then etched to reveal William Henry's patent pending Wave Damascus with a ZDP-189 powder metal core for superlative sharpness.

Diamond inlays, titanium screws, and a silver bale and beads complete this extraordinary knife. The Catalina '07 demonstrates the measured combination of art and utility that have made William Henry Knives the benchmark for the industry.

The Catalina Collection is Numbered, there are only 100 of each model produced through 2007.

A collection in a class all its own – from William Henry Knives and featuring some of the finest forged metal in the world.

Each blade is created from a billet of Damascus (patterned steel) forged by mastersmith Mike Norris. Each billet requires more than two weeks to complete, features 600 layers of steel, and yields a handful of blades whose patterns are absolutely unique. The hand-polishing and deep etching of the blades reveal the exquisite pattern in this remarkable material.

The handles are crafted from mokume gane (meaning wood-grain metal) hand-forged by mastersmith Mike Sakmar.  Mr. Sakmar uses copper, nickel silver, and brass to weave magic in metal that emerges in rich and striking hues.

Mother-of-pearl scales overlay the solid mokume frame, with opals inlaid into the button lock and thumbpeg to complement the range of colors in the mother-of-pearl.

We currently carry two knives from the Meridian Collection from William Henry Studios: B09 MPD; which is the smallest of the two, and B15 MPD; which is the largest of the collection.

William Henry’s Signature II Collection offers dramatic contrast and dramatic performance. William Henry's patent pending Wave Damascus blades are fit into solid titanium handles with color accents – a touch of distinction against a backdrop of sheer utility.

Each blade is handcrafted from William Henry's 45 layer Wave Damascus featuring a core of ZDP-189 for outstanding sharpness and wear resistance. This pattern is revealed across the delicate bevels of the blade as a series of waves intersecting the ZDP edge.

The handles are built from a titanium alloy which is strong, lightweight, and corrosion proof. The inset arcs are electric-blued against a soft hand-polished surface, and each handle features internal weight reduction pockets and open-frame construction for optimum balance.

William Henry’s one hand button lock and thumbpeg are set with blue topaz to match the blue accents in the handle, and all fittings are stainless steel.

The Titan II Collection from William Henry is about performance. Sleek, light, tough, and elegant, each of these knives showcases the unmatched sharpness of ZDP-189 laminate blade steel with the durability of titanium handles.

ZDP-189 is William Henry's blade steel of choice for pure performance – each blade is hollow ground and polished by hand to a mirror finish, then selectively hand rubbed lengthwise for a beautiful satin finish.

The titanium is an aerospace grade alloy, designed for resilience; and each handle is polished by hand and features electric-blued accents in the arc channels. The open-frame handle, combined with internal weight-reduction pockets, makes these knives remarkably light and easy to carry without compromising performance.

B10 SZD Rio - #34270

$585.00

The Rio Collection is a study in exquisite symmetry across materials. Our Wave Damascus is the star of the show - titanium handles, finished with premium hand-selected snakewood, create the backdrop.

William Henry’s Wave Damascus (patents pending) is created from 45 layers of three separate metal alloys.  The center of each billet, where it intersects the cutting edge, is our renowned ZDP-189. This core material ensures unmatched sharpness and performance, while the alternating exterior layers create texture, contrast, beauty, and blade flexibility. Each blade is hand-ground and polished, and a final etching process reveals the exquisite pattern of the Damascus steel.

The Rio features handles that are built from solid titanium (with electric-bronze accents), with inset scales of snakewood. Snakewood is one of the rarest and hardest of all exotic hardwoods, and we select only the best for our handles. Our tempered stainless Button lock and thumbpeg are adorned with citrine stones set in 18K gold bezels. Open-frame handle construction, using custom micro-screws, ensures an easy to carry and comfortable cutting instrument in your hand.
