William Henry Kestrel B09 'Destiny' Knife

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. William Henry employs three basic architectures for handles on their pocket knives, and all are featured in the Kestrel Collection. Each handle is machined from a single piece of metal (with overlays or inlays of organic material in most cases), so there are no seams or joints that could weaken over time. The Scout showcases a solid handle of aerospace grade titanium for maximum utility and minimum frills. The titanium has weight reduction pockets carved from the inside of each handle, reducing the weight without compromising balance or strength. Other models feature William Henry's bolster style handle (the bolster is the metal front portion of the handle that houses the pivot and buttonlock) in an array of materials. This bolster, with its sweeping curve, is recognized around the world as a signature of William Henry’s design style. The Kestrel can also feature an interframe handle designed for a fully captured inlay of exotic material. The interframe completely protects the organic/exotic scale within a picture window of solid metal. Interframe, bolster, or full metal, each of their handle architectures offers exceptional utility and timeless elegance. Every knife (with the exception of the all-titanium handle) includes William Henry's 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.
