Limited Edition B09 Tempe Knife

The Kestrel ‘Tempe’ features a beautiful frame in hand-carved sterling silver, inlaid with zinc-matrix Kingman turquoise. The blade is hand-forged ‘Raindrop’ damascus by Mike Norris; the one-hand button lock and the thumb stud are set with white topaz gemstones. The Kestrel is a compact but versatile folder that works and presents beautifully in any situation; the design, which offers a deep finger groove at the intersection between the handle and blade, makes this knife remarkably comfortable in the hand while being very small and easy to carry. The ‘Tempe’ features some of the precious materials, artistry, and hand-forged metals that are the hallmark of William Henry’s collections. A timeless heirloom to be proudly worn and used for a lifetime before being handed-down to another generation.

Kestrel Series Knives:
The design, which offers a deep finger groove at the intersection between the handle and blade, makes this knife remarkably comfortable in the hand while being very small and easy to carry as a daily tool. We employ three basic architectures for handles on our pocket knives, and all are featured in the Kestrel Collection.

Every knife (with the exception of the all-titanium handle) includes our leather ClipCase and a braided lanyard with sterling or gold fittings to match. Each piece is engraved with two distinct numbers – a serial number on the blade and limited edition number on the leading edge of the handle. The numbers, along with the details about the knife’s construction, are listed in the included Certificate of Authenticity.
