I was looking at all the knives on the William Henry website after another user posted a picture of one and became curious how they’re able to seemingly choose the design of the blade - how is that done?

I’m not intimately familiar with the process of making damascus steel but I have a basic understanding, and it just doesn’t seem like a process in which you’d be able to do it in any particular way to get a specific or intentional pattern, but many of the designs for their blades certainly look intentional.

And: are the William Henry knives truly exceptional knives, or are they as expensive as they are due to supply limitations and material used?
