The Monarch 'Samurai' features a beautiful hand-forged frame of Brain Wave damascus by Chad Nichols, inlaid with a mesmerizing scale in black lip pearl, embellished with a gold Maki-e. The blade is hand-forged 'Hornets Nest' damascus by Mike Norris; the button lock and thumb stud are set with spinel.
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 Samurai 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.
