This Monarch 'Autumn' features a handle in 'Wave' mokume gane, inlaid with orange spalted beech wood. The blade is hand-forged 'Hornets Nest' damascus steel by Mike Norris; the one-hand button lock and the thumb stud are set with citrine gemstones.
The Monarch is a simple design that is easy on the eye and effortless in the hand; the elegant shape of the handle on this design is also an ideal canvas to showcase fine hand-engraving or exotic materials. The 'Autumn' features the rich and unique synthesis between function, exotic materials, and the superlative artistry that is the hallmark of William Henry's collection.
