Have you seen the Arno Bernard "Hand-picks" collection? http://bit.ly/ABK-HandPicks
This hand-picked collection took years to accumulate, and as anticipated - they are selling quickly. As we said when we first added them to the web site, do not hesitate to order; "unicorns" are incredibly rare and you may never see another one.

This collection includes the popular Rinkhals Slip Joint Folder as well as 6 fixed blades averaging 7" overall length and featuring many exotic handle materials. Order yours today! http://bit.ly/ABK-HandPicks

One-of-a-kind creations

Collaboration is always based on trust and the four Bernard brothers are all joined at the hip both personally and professionally. These one-of-a-kind creations are a by-product of that amazing chemistry, which is very hard to establish in traditional organizations. That trust gives Franco, who is the creative brother, permission to take his other three siblings out of their comfort zones to make his outside the box ideas come to life.

At any one time, Arno Bernard Knives has tons of handle materials on-hand as which must be dried for years before they can be utilized. Cutting tons of handle materials each year has given them an unfailing intuition as to which ones, out of the thousands they process annually, will offer a stunning look when subjected to the labor intensive process these unique handles deserve. In some cases, a color coordinated sheath has been created for these unique knives that reinforces the visual impact of these beautiful creations.

I encourage you to look through this incredible collection that showcases the brothers' collective skill. If you see something you like, do not hesitate to order; "unicorns" are incredibly rare and you may never see another one. We will announce quarterly updates to this collection, but the quantities added will be much smaller than this initial offering as the "Arno's Hand Picks" shown here took years to accumulate.

Rinkhals Slip Joint Folder

uhp63-3.jpg



This Arno Bernard knife takes you back to a simpler time, when your first pocket knife opened and closed without any locking mechanism. This updated version of the classic slip joint measures 6.5” overall, has a 2.8” blade and a full sized 3.7” frame with a 2.8” handle inlay. It features a beautiful design with a versatile, RWL34 stainless steel blade, a nail nick for easy opening, and ridged thumb serrations on the top of the blade. Just like your old Buck®, Western® or Case®, the blade features a mirror finish. The hand-sewn, leather slip protects it in your pocket and the matching bead attached to the leather lanyard makes it easy to access. This lightweight knife sheds ounces by using Titanium for the frame, pocket clip, collar and screws and only weighs 2.3 ounces!

The slip joint mechanism of this knife features an innovative "safety" when it is approximately half-way open which causes the blade to release its tension at the 90° mark so it is easy to move your fingers out of the way before tension builds again and assists you in closing (or opening) the knife. Most slip joint knives have continuous tension throughout their entire range, which in some cases causes the blade to close before you can get your fingers out of the way. Since this knife does not have a mechanism that locks it open, always cut with the blade going away from you to prevent injury.

Also great for use on fowl but with a bit more belly than the Bateleur, we like to think of the Marmoset as a trout and deer design. Perfect for processing small game and fowl, it also excels as a beautiful EDC.

Good Morning x84958
I have read your post about Jamy Traut and your hunt in Caprivi. I am planning such a hunt for 2026, Oct with Jamy.
Just a question , because I will combine Caprivi and Panorama for PG, is the daily rate the same the week long, I mean the one for Caprivi or when in Panorama it will be a PG rate ?
thank you and congrats for your story.
Best regards
Philippe from France
