William Henry Knife Collectors Series One Of A Kind September 2007 - Mammoth

Description

This listing is for William Henry B05 Monarch
September 2007 #090701
This is not a series knife. There are no other numbers of this knife in the world. This is the only one.
This blade is part of the Collectors Series of One of a Kind William Henry’s that were released Quarterly.
The collector’s knife features a “
Copper Wave
” Damascus blade. I personally enjoy seeing the multitude of color. It’s predictable in its unpredictability.
The thumb and button stone are two
sapphires
positioned among a
wave mokume
frame and bolsters.
Mokume translates from Japanese to “wood eye metal” or “wood grained metal”. This is similar to the creation process of Damascus. It is a Japanese metalworking art which builds a unique variety of layered patterns. The intention is for the decorative visual effect. Both the process and the finished product are gorgeous.
The mokume of this knife follows its Damascus cousin. It flows like the ocean also in the wave pattern. The entire knife around the scales keep the same theme.
This inlay of this one of a kind knife is from a
fossilized wooly mammoth.
The natural grooves truly show how unique this piece of ancient history is. Running a finger across the scales of a mere pocket knife that was inside a massive extinct mammal is humbling. Roughly 10,000 years could fit in a denim pocket.
Not only that, this is the first of my knives that I’ve seen that the
beads are also fossils
. Just those tiny 2 beads at the end of the leather straps are also prehistoric.
**** Please, refer to the COA for referencing specifically about the:
scales/inlay
the official signature and date on the left page
attached beads
and other details ****
There is also a special slip spot where the clip case (sheath) can be placed. There is some wear there from time on display of holding the clip case. It is shown in the box picture. If the clip case is shifted in its proper position on display, you cannot see the wear.
Otherwise, unlike many boxes with fraying insert trays this box seems to be in good condition with only small spots of its age.
Everything shown in the pictures will come with the purchase: the knife, the clip case, the wooden box, the envelope for the COA,
the officially signed/dated Certificate of Authenticity
, and the white box that contains everything beyond the COA letter.
The knife itself, the main attraction of the show, has NEVER been sharpened or carried. It is in pristine condition
.
Please, do not hesitate to contact me with questions. I took a variety of pictures to try to get every angle but if you would like more just ask!
What you see in the pictures is what you are buying. And, please, look carefully at each one because I do not accept returns.
If you like what you see make sure to check out my other William Henry listings! I only list one of each Collectible knife. I am a private owner and not a shop or reseller. This means there are no doubles and no second-chances if you miss out on a knife. There will be more listed over time though.
If you do fancy a certain type of knife whether it be the type of lanyard, display box it comes with, scale/inlay material, certain gems involved, koftgari, blade patterns, age of blade completion, size of set, silver, or gold etc, you can message me to see if I have anything along those lines unlisted as well.
New ones are going up all the time.
