Yup, I'll take 3 Monarch Ripple, please. They're very cheap indeed and a limited edition, too!

I have a few but I do not use them much, as I have much better knives for regular use.

I see these WHs as my backup, giving them to people that may break a good knife by using it as a screwdriver, maybe digging in the soil etc.

I gave a few last year to some friends that were not really into high-end knives, but they will probably never use them.    8)

But you still need a William Henry Monarch to kill the cow...

Bah! I'd never use it, the blade locks and there's no clip ...

WH makes a lot of cool looking ones for sure. And charges a premium price for them. They are more like art pieces than actual hard use tools, but there are lots of people who like to use them too.

Heck if I had money to burn, I'd probably get a WH much sooner than 2 or 3 Sebbies. ;)

Not the models we see here though, too flashy for me. :D
