Arno Bernard Dassie Knife with Giraffe Scales

I just received three new Bernard knives. Arno Bernard is a small family run shop located in South Africa.

Arno Bernard Dassie Knife, Giraffe Scales

The picture above is the Dassie, (shown on a business card so the viewer can get a good sense of size) with giraffe bone scales. The Dassie is a beautiful little knife, exotic materials, and excellent craftsmanship.

The total length of the Dassie is five inches, the blade is 2 3/8". High carbon stainless steel, giraffe bone scales (scales being the term used for the handle sides of knives). The Dassie is what would now — after all the Super-Size and Rambo coulture — be considered a small knife, but is really plenty of knife for any normal needs!

Cape Buffalo Leather Sheath

This knife comes with a fitted sheath. The sheath is made of cape buffalo leather, sewn and riveted, and has an attached belt loop.

The Dassie is named after a small guinea pig shaped mammal.

The Dassie is priced at $129. Call if you are interested! My cell, which you can call most anytime is 408/806-1352
