Post your Arno Bernard Pic's!

Received my Rinkhals yesterday and I’m very impressed with it (not that I was expecting anything less). It has very crisp walk and talk. I was hoping to carry it clipless, but it had already made its mark on the Ti scale underneath, so I put it back on. The similarities with the Mnandi are apparent but they are quite different in action, the Mnandi obviously being a framelock and able to be opened one-handed. I really like how AB and CRK share a lot of the same design elements but still manage to show off different strengths. Hope everyone has a great weekend ahead.

Thanks. I’ve never seen a side by side. I think I prefer the AB blade shape there.
 
I might be heading to South Africa mid year. Really lusting after that mottles brown-white dyed scale. Love it! On a Rinkals. Beastly snakes those. Where I grew up though the Mambas were the common snake. Very dangerous. Killed many in my day

I think the dyed tusk is my favorite inlay on either of the AB folders. Very nice looking in person. Here is my Rinkhals with dyed tusk, couple other shots too.

I also really like the dyed warthog tusk…this was my second ABK folder purchase. Hand picked. It reminds me of mainland with islands coming off it in a milky white ocean.

I barely touched it but still it drew blood :eek:

First time sharpening it as long as we don't count stropping.
Regardless, I really like this steel as it takes a nice keen edge with ease and now, after I finished stropping, it is very scary sticky sharp. I love this knife even more now.
