Arno Bernard makes his stunning knives from his home country of South Africa. Most of the materials he uses are sourced from his own `back yard` and constructed with unparalleled skill. All his blades are full tang, Sandvik 12C27 stainless. This model, the Raven, has a tough sheep horn handle and is supplied with a cape buffalo leather sheath. This is a highly attractive little knife which is put together with a high degree of precision. Breathtaking quality and ultra sharp.
