A couple of years ago I had a chance to handle a number of William Henry knives in a little shop in Alaska (forget where). I've wanted one ever since.

I'm getting the itch again and starting to seriously look at buying one.

So let's see yours. I'd also love to hear owners' thoughts and impressions.
 
Here's a little seasonal E10 photography for you:

So far my only WH is an E6-3 that my wife got me for my B-day. Its small and super light weight, only 1.1oz. They are extremely well made (the only maker to beat CRK for quality award). The action is smooth and the button lock it great. I do plan on getting the E10-3 to make a matching set.

Beautiful! Next time I'm engraving a Damascus pattern on a blade I'm going to do something similar to that (yes I know that's not what Damascus really is), I don't like alot of Damascus patterns (which is why I engrave my own) but that one is absolutely stunning.

An E10-3 is my grail, never wanted a CRK or other higher end production folder till I saw my first E10 then I had to have one.

Thanks, that's interesting to hear. I'll admit I'm still somewhat torn between a CRK and WH. I've had a similar itch for a small Sebenza 21 for quite a while but I'm not sure why.

Whichever I choose I'm wanting one I will actually carry and use so ornamentation like wood inlay is not a criteria. I'd probably just beat up the inlay. I've also never been a huge fan of Damascus.
 
I was torn between them at one point as well and it turned out to be a bit expensive for my wife lol
The micarta sebenza was my first year anniversary, the WH E6-3 was my Bday this year and the Insingo was my 2nd anniversary last week :)

Not my pic but my knife, I bought it when they first came out, I looked for about a year to find one and I got it for $125, I don't think you can buy any WH knife for under $300 anywhere these days.

That's great looking wood! What is it? How does the knife its self hold up?

This is an E10-2, the wood is box elder burl. The knife is great--despite being so thin and light, the knife has always felt extremely capable when I've used it. Now it's not 6-8 ounce hard use monster of a knife, but for everyday use it's great. The thin blade stock and hollow grind make for great cutting performance, it's one of my favorite knives. The deep carry clip looks like the clip of a nice pen, and the knife weighs under 1.8 ounces.
 
My T12 Onyx - silver and gold bolster, black palm handles. Bought it as a [Edit: former] safe queen on the exchange here. IMHO, one of my favorite knives and the best knife buy I've made to date. Smooth as silk. Great knife. Love it. :)

Hi,
I love WH's Spearpoints and have one as my EDC. The others are on display at home.

Gorgeous knife. I'm afraid that would just sit in my safe.

Beautiful. I've been looking at their spearpoint "Atlas" model in the same steel. It's a similar design and I do like the ZDP-189 knives I already own.
