B12 HOOSIERS

The Spearpoint “Hoosiers” features a beautiful frame of hand-forged ‘Tri-Mix Ladder’ Damascus by Chad Nichols, inlaid with historic wood from the original basketball court of Indiana University’s Fieldhouse, now known as the Bill Garrett Fieldhouse. The Hoosiers played on this floor from 1928 to 1960, including during IU’s celebrated 1940 and 1953 NCAA Championship seasons, making each piece a tangible connection to one of college basketball’s most storied traditions. The blade is crafted from distinctive hand-forged ‘Meadows’ Damascus, also by Chad Nichols, while the one-hand button lock and thumb stud are set with red garnet gemstones to complement the IU theme.

A remarkable design that provides a full-size, secure grip and a versatile deep-belly blade, the Spearpoint exemplifies William Henry’s core philosophy that superlative function deserves to be elevated to superlative art. The “Hoosiers” combines historic materials, master craftsmanship, advanced metallurgy, and fine jewelry accents into a singular expression of artistry and performance. Featuring the hand-forged metals, precision engineering, and exceptional materials that define William Henry’s collections, it is a distinctive statement piece designed to be carried, used, and treasured for a lifetime.
