The Monarch 'Rip Curl' features a beautiful frame in hand-carved Mokume Gane by Lee Downey, inlaid with a mesmerizing scale in hand-carved mother of pearl. The blade is hand-forged 'Hornets Nest' damascus by Mike Norris; the button lock and thumb stud are set with sapphires. 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 'Rip Curl' is a stunning piece; a rich and unique synthesis of the elegance, function, and superlative artistry that are the hallmark of William Henry's work.
