So, you're considering a William Henry...

Hi Nyefmaker! Sorry I missed your post; I haven't logged on in a while...

After almost 9 months of owning my Atlas, I find myself carrying it with increasing frequency. I've been fairly consistent over the last year or so with my carry set-up: Vic Rambler, alox Pioneer and Large Seb Insingo. The Atlas sneaks in to replace the Insingo a couple times a week now. It is so slim and light, it is a joy to carry and use. The pocket clip is especially gentle on the pockets while still providing good retention (an excellent feature for those who wear dress pants/lighter slacks, imo.)

Aside from a few barely noticeable light scratches, the ti slabs are quite wear resistant. No snail-trails. The anodised clip has a bit of wear around the edges but still looks good. Although I haven't had to use my Atlas for any extensive cutting chores, I haven't shied away from using it either, and the ZDP-189 has held a spectacular razor's edge with a bit of mouse pad stropping. Hasn't met the stones yet and isn't like to for quite some time.

Seems like the cost of mid-to-high grade production knives has risen all across the board... the price of a William Henry no longer seems so steep. If you see one you like, better snap it up while you can!

I just ordered my first William Hanry Knife this weekend after attending an event recently. I had been considering getting one for awhile but after being able to check out a number of models in person I was able to make a better informed purchase. I also looked at a number of forums and seriously considered a mnandi but at the end of the day at least for now the Henry William knife won the day. This forum certainly was rather helpful as well. Since I just ordered it I hope to have it fairly soon.

Cheers
 
In an era where people are willing to pay 1000 bucks for a Chinese made knife assembled in Russia, William Henry seems like a bargain.
