I'm seriously considering the purchase of one of these. I love the looks of the Kestrel, but am worried that it may be a little too small.
Could anybody please post a pic of a Kestrel "in hand"?
The Monarch is nice too, but I feel that the design is a little too close to the knives that I have already.

WH owners, please let me know how you find them..
I have read that the quality is very high..

They are awesome knives. Fit & finish is absolutely top notch. I have a T10 and it is the smallest knife I own. Because it's so small it only gets carried when I'm in top dress up mode (suit). I have thought of adding a T-12 to my EDC rotation as I love their knives, but want something bigger than the one I have for EDC.

I've got the T12CF and I think it is a good size for a dress knife and looks great. Best workmanship on any knife I own and very tough for a knife that looks so good. Get one. You'll like it.

I just got a Monarch in CF a few days ago -- based on recommendations from here. Very nice knife, but small. A Kestrel is even smaller. At .8 oz., you barely know you have it in your pocket.
 
I had a Kestrel for a while and found it too small. I don't have huge hands either. If you're looking for a small gents knife for light work, I'd go with the Lancet.
 
I have had a T12CF for a couple years or so. It is my regular carry for the office. Nice knife.
 
I have the T12...I have posted many times that this is the perfect sized EDC. I STRONGLY recommend it...if you click on my name and see all of my posts, I probably sound like a broken record.

I was turned on to this knife, by feedback on this forum. It certainly has gotten great reviews and opinions from members.
 
I've got a T12-CF with the DLC coating on layaway at the local knife shop. If only I could pay it off...
 
Just to give you a size comparison, with some popular knives...the spearpoint is about the size (length) of a Spyderco Native.

WHenry's are beautifully made knives, but the CF versions are definitly 'dress carry' IMHO. Mine fails a very light spine whack.

Send it back to Matt. He has fixed the few minor problems I've had with WH knives over the years and the customer service was top notch.
 
I have the WH carbon fiber lancet and a WH Yucatan limited edition (which is my EDC). Both are awesome knifes and the Yucatan with all its decorations is none the worse for being used.

I would think the Lancet is small enough, but I must agree that the shape of the kestrel is beautiful.

I have the T-12CFBT(Black and Tan) and it's one of the best made knives I own. The others seemed a bit too small for my tastes. I would try to get your hands on one if possible before you buy. You won't go wrong with any of them. :cool:
