Holland & Holland's New Cutting-Edge Knives

Great design is timeless; whether we’re talking fine firearms or in this case the latest stab at knifemaking from Holland & Holland. Using ideas and materials from bygone eras, H&H has created a knife collection as singular as its shotguns and rifles.

Perhaps the most characteristic example is the .375 Hunting Knife. Inspired by the famous Holland & Holland rifle caliber that Jack O’Connor dubbed the “Queen of the Medium Bores,” the .375 knife features a 3¾” blade with a hilt profiled to mimic the belted rimless cartridge that was introduced in 1912. The walnut scales have a light diamond grip and are checkered in the style of the firms’ rifles and finished with an end cap featuring a .375 H&H headstamp design.

Earlier epochs are represented by hunting knives with Damascus blades and woolly-mammoth-tusk handles. An example is the limited-edition Small Hunter knife, featuring unique color-injected mammoth-tusk scales and a full-tang raindrop Damascus blade.

According to H&H Marketing Manager Mike Jones: “We will have certain knives in the collection that are unlimited, like the .375 H&H Hunting Knife (with other models to follow), and then limited-edition sets that will ebb and flow. We will aim to produce new limited-edition sets, altering the specs and designs for subsequent sets. It is worth noting that with the current import laws for the US, we cannot ship the mammoth-scale pieces to the US.”
