Arno Bernard
I just ordered this knife today. It was made by Arno Bernard, South Africa. His son also makes knives, but I am pretty certain this one is made by Arno Bernard, Sr. I found many good comments about his work online. Most of his knives are smaller than this. I am realy looking forward to it's arrival. It's a little flashy for tactical use, but those days are about over for me anyway. Does anyone else have experience with his knives?
Here are the specs, as copied off the website where I purchased it:
