Limited Edition B09 Desert Mine Knife

The Kestrel ‘Desert Mine’ features a beautiful frame in hand-forged ‘Twist’ mokume by Mike Sakmar, inlaid with a mesmerizing piece of zinc-matrix turquoise. The blade is hand-forged ‘Intrepid’ damascus by Chad Nichols; the one-hand button lock and the thumb stud are set with spinel 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 ‘Desert Mine’ 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.
