| The William Henry Studio is
devoted to the vision of
designing and building the
finest tools possible. Founded
in 1997 by partners Matthew
William Conable and Michael
Henry Honack, the studio has
grown from a one-man shop
to a 20 person company that
has established a new
benchmark of excellence.
In 2007 they celebrated their
10th anniversary, and
continue to build on a legacy
of exquisite form and function
that has gained them
worldwide attention among
connoisseurs of fine objects.
The seamless integration
of classic natural materials
and state-of-the-art alloys is a
hallmark of William Henry's
work — no compromises, no
shortcuts, exceptional quality.
Each component is precision
machined to tolerances
reserved for aerospace level
work — often measured at
0.0005", or one twelfth the
size of a human hair. The final
fit, finish, action, and
sharpness of each knife are
achieved entirely by hand,
employing the irreplaceable
craftsmanship developed by
generations of master cutlers.
Every object they make
is a distinctive heirloom-
quality testament to their
artistry. Each piece takes
more than seven months to
produce, and incorporates the
work of more than 30 artisans
across 800 individual
operations.
William Henry creates a
range of tools so perfectly
conceived and executed that
they transcend superlative
function to become
superlative art. |
