Has anyone ever seen scales like this??

Post by sunburst »

I was just wondering if anyone has seen scales made of crocodile like this fixed blade Arno Bernard. I was tempted to pick it up but my money is heading toward somebody's pocket knife (once I find one)instead of a fixed blade. Besides it sold within 24 hours of being posted...

Just wondering???

Want a nice custom for under $100.00?

I was just looking through some older threads. Arno Bernard has a son and his name is Arno Bernard Jr (oddly enough :lol: ). He started making knives in October 2005 and his work is starting to look excellent with his dad's tutalage. No guarantee, but if you are looking for a good custom from someone who is touted as a rising star, this may be the place to get it. He has an ebay store and he gets much less than his dad, now.

http://stores.ebay.com/knife-making-supplies is his eBay store, custom knives at a great price. Nothing fancy, but I've seen good solid craftmanship. ::tu::

He sells a lot of Giraffe bone, but I found that gray weathered Elk antlers can be dyed and stabilized for a neat look about the same price as the low end Giraffe bone. I think I started to post in Dewmans Elk antler thread, but never finished my thought. ::dang:: ::dang::
