The catalog pictures of William Henry knives are pretty, but not as pretty as the real thing. Here are links to a couple of direct scans:

William Henry is a low-production mini-factory, making custom-quality folders at prices somewhere between the factory and custom worlds.
The wood is cocobolo. The bolsters are sterling silver. I don't recall the name of the jeweler's technique for welding those all those silver beads and wires together, but I like the result. Fit and finish are impeccable, the action is smooth, and the 2-1/4" blade is very sharp.
Probably not the folder to take on a mission, or fishing for that matter.
