What's This? A Box of Arno Bernard Knives?

Nothing better than coming back from a nice day of riding the motorcycle and having a box of Arno Bernard knives waiting for me!


Me (and friends) Totally Unaware of the Arno Bernard Delivery

After riding over hill and dale I see box this awaiting!


Box Containing Arno Bernard Knives
What's this I wondered?

I bent down and squinted at the label, trying to read it. I was expecting some Arno Bernard knives — but other things are delivered all the time.

I was quite happy when I figured out that the box is my Arno Bernards!




Arno Bernard Knives
I had ordered four Arno Bernard knives and that is what I received. The picture above shows all four knives.

The largest knife on the left is a Hippo from the Giant series. The Hippo has a giraffe bone handle and a cape buffalo leather sheath (as are all the sheaths). The next knife is a Cheetah with giraffe bone handle from the Predator series. Next is a Nyala from the Grazer series. The Nyala has a warthog ivory handle. The last, the smallest knife pictured is a Porcupine from the Bush Baby series. The Porcupine has a wart hog ivory handle.

All of these knives are beautiful! The workmanship is flawless. All of the blades are made of N690 steel, all the sheaths are cape buffalo leather.



Arno Bernard Hippo Knife
Here I'm holding the Hippo. This knife has a giraffe bone handle, the blade steel is N690, and the sheath is cape buffalo leather.

Here is another view of the Hippo knife. Beautiful.


Arno Bernard Cheetah Knife
Next up is the Cheetah. A little bit smaller than the Hippo. This knife also has the giraffe bone handle.



Arno Bernard Nyala Knife with Warthog Tusk Handle

The third knife is the Nyala. Smaller, a graceful beauty.


Arno Bernard Porcupine Knife
Last is the Porcupine with a warthog ivory handle.

Arno Bernard makes knives in three 'series.' The series are Bush Baby, Scavenger, Grazer, Predator and Giant.

The Bush Baby series is the smallest, they are sized from 5" to about 5 3/4" They step up in size through each series, with the Giants being the largest. A knife in the giant series are 9" to about 9 7/8"
