This Monarch 'Black Wave' features a handle in heat-colored 'Wave' mokume, inlaid with carbon fiber scales. The blade is William Henry's signature 'Wave' Damascus with a core in VG-10 steel. The one-hand button lock and the thumb stud are set with London Blue topaz 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 'Black Wave' features the rich and unique synthesis between function, exotic materials, and the superlative artistry that is the hallmark of William Henry's collection.
