Briar Rose

This beautiful one-of-a-kind Kestrel ‘Briar Rose’ features a hand-engraved stainless steel handle with 24K gold inlays by Jeff Parke, inlaid with fossil mammoth tusk. The blade is hand-forged and black tungsten-coated “Hornets Nest” damascus by Mike Norris; the button lock and 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 ‘Briar Rose’ features the superlative artistry, and forged metals that are the hallmark of William Henry’s collections; a distinctive personality statement to be worn and used for a lifetime before handing it down to another generation.
