Warning - If you don't already have a W/H, avoid it at all costs. It's knife crack. I started with one, now I have 5, and am selling off part of my collection to get more. Sold an LMF and MK II, putting up the howling rat and battle rat today. The nicest, sharpest knives I've ever handled.

Titanium, Carbon Fiber, Mother of Pearl, G10, ZDP189, ATS34, Button and friction lock. Not cheap, but well worth the cost.

Not just pocket jewelry, I use my G10/ATS34 all the time.
 
Nice collection. What a beautiful family!

I had a WH Titan Westcliff. It was a very nice knife, but I sold it to buy more Doziers (my knife crack).
 
I'm with ya on that one , I have a 2.3" Legacy . Very sweet little knife - a true pocket scalpel .

Very nice! you're missing one that I think is about the nicest size around
and that's the B-15 models, a little larger than a lancet and about the same
size as the 12's but I like the full spine instead of the swedge when using
the knife;

Check out my recent additions on this thread William Henry folders

also here is a bit larger image of one of my recent aquisitions, be warned
it's a large file so dialup guys/gals you may want to not click;

Those are fantastic!! I have been looking at WH's for years. The hardest part in getting my first one, is deciding which one!! It will be a loooooong while before I can afford any knife. I DO very much like WH's!
 
Wow Gary, I really like that top knife, what is the model number? I usually lean towards natural handle materials, but W/H does Carbon Fiber like no one else I've ever seen. Love the button lock too.
 
Thanks Jim,
that one's called the William Henry Attache, B15 model, and quite nice!
amazing blade, really really like that size and shape!

Edited to make note, they don't sell it like that any longer, so it's now a real
collector's piece with the DLC coating, the new ones have damascus lamination
over the matte finished ZDP-189 core...just lucky I guess :)

I have owned a LOT of folders from William Henry, but only those two
are now in my collection, here is a scan from my old collection;

Nice WHKs. Drooling.

Personally, I am finding the sizes 12 and 15 sizes too long for my pants pockets even though they are the most comfortable handle length for my small hands.


For EDC, I prefer the sizes in 10 (Lancet) and 5 (Monarch), smaller and lighter. WHKs are nice and addictive folders, nice looking cutting tools. Still trying to figure out if I can take them apart to clean them.

I love CRKs better, just a tad, due to overall mor fluid profile when closed, ease of use, and ability to dis-assemble for cleaning.
 
Long been an appreciator of WH's beauty and just solid design in general. It's amazing how cheap they are for the quality (as long as you leave out the jewels and gold).
 
Here's my William Henrys:

Two of them were made by Moki and have the globe logo indicating they were not made in the WH shop (second and fifth from the left). They are all great little knives.

Thanks KCkc, I find a sheath helps a lot with the B15 model, the shape and size really
makes it snap in for a very solid and secure fitup, BUT, of course there
are some areas that may not take to you wearing a sheath or a knife
displayed, so that isn't so handy, but when you can, do so!

This sheath has a dandy fitting to it, I've added beads to the leather fob
for easier extraction. Of course you can get about any embossing or colour
besides what mine looks like.

Nice Peregrin!
I wondered where you got that second one on the left, I've seen and owned
the other one, but never warmed up to that handle style, but the other one!
Are they still available any place?
Thanks,
G2

You aren't kidding! You look like you have a substantial habit going there. :D Love the carbon fiber ones. The one carbon fiber I have is my all-time favorite for EDCing in an office environment.

Peregrin: Looks like we have some similar tastes in William Henrys...

Gary,

I have the knife you're looking at, although in green bone. It's a good one. I don't have any other WHs to compare it to, but it's F&F is better than my Microtech LCC. It's smaller than I prefer, but it makes a great office knife.

This knife is known as the WH Spire. I got mine as a graduation present from New Graham, but they're no longer carrying this model. AG Russell used to sell it, but they may be out also. Your best bet probably is to find one on the secondary market.
 
Thanks, it's a nice looking size folder and well made too.

edited to add, Mark, those are very nice knives in your collection too! Very nice!
thanks for sharing!
 
Jeezzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

These pics are driving me crazy. I really want one....maybe around Christmas time.
 
Gary,

Kamagong has it right. The second one from the left is a WH Spire. It was made by Moki for William Henry and was available in red bone, green bone and if I remeber right, MOP. The model number is K22-RB. The blade is VG-10 and came scary sharp. I haven't seen any around for sale in awhile. I think I bought mine direct from William Henry.
