Man made vs. natural
Since the beginning of time, man has sought to find balance between his natural world and his own mind A combination of innovative technology and rare organic materials, at William Henry, our pieces explore that fine line between harmony and chaos, to create a truly inspired and balanced collection. Forged by fire Created by nature
Damascus Steel Alloys Mokume Gane
A signature part of our pocket knife line, our Damascus steel blades are hand forged from layers of steel, iron and sometimes copper. Famous for its distinctive patterns, this style of metalworking has been legendary since 300 B.C. At William Henry, were proud to offer several styles of Damascus including: Traditional Hand-Forged, Copper Wave, and Wave Damascus with ZDP-189.
Innovation is key to a William Henry piece. With the future in our sights, we looked to science to create our alloy and hi-tech accessories. Using the most groundbreaking materials, our resilient pieces combine strength and beauty into one package. Materials we use: Aircraft Grade Aluminum Aerospace Grade Titanium. Hand-Crafted Black Coated, German D2 Steel.
Originally used to decorate samurai swords in Japan, our exclusive Mokume Gane or wood-grain metal is made from copper, brass and nickel in a 45 or 89 layer billet. Forged and patterned by hand, the design of each piece is organic and fluid. Its sister style, the patent- pending, Wave Gane, offers a colorful alternative to the traditional Mokume Gane. Created from copper, stainless steel and pure iron, the 55 layer billet is polished and heated until the layers take on brown, purple and blue hues.
Wood Fossils Precious Stones
Consciously harvested, and custom designed, our wood pieces add refined elegance and rustic charm to our accessories and jewelry. Types of wood we use: Box Elder Burl Curly Koa Desert Ironwood Snakewood Cocobolo Eyrie Vineyard Pinot Vine
A testament to our earths history, our fossil pieces are a fascinating study of mans evolution through the times and our survival. Fossils we use: Fossil Mammoth Bone: 10,000 year old; from Alaska and Siberia. Fossil Walrus Tusk: 8,000-10,000 years old; from Alaska and Siberia. Fossil Mammoth Tusk: 10,000 years old; from Alaska and Siberia. Fossil Mammoth Tooth: 100,000 years old; from the North Sea. Fossil Dinosaur Bone: 100 million years old; Apatosaurus Fossil; from Utah. Fossil Coral: 110,000 years old; saved from Florida quarry mines.
From beneath the earths ocean and deep within its core, comes its most precious gemstones and ocean jewels. Materials we use: Precious Stones: Rubies, topaz, crystals, sapphires and diamonds. Abalone Shell: Found along the Pacific coast, cut from old stock of harvested shells due to dwindling supplies. Mother of Pearl: Sourced from Australia. Goldlip Mother of Pearl: From the reverse side of the Mother of Pearl, the Goldlip M.O.P. is sourced from the Philippines and Indonesia. Blacklip Mother of Pearl: Rainbow colored over a black background, the Blacklip M.O.P. is sustainably harvested from Tahiti shell farmers.
From our fossil past to our technological alloy future, finding balance is the acceptance of nature and ourselves. Working with these two mediums, we have strived to create unique pieces that are more than their namesake, but are personality statements, representing the best of both worlds.
