A magnificent custom by Arno Bernard Senior from South Africa. Only a few are made a year and sold exclusively at Blade Gallery Inc in USA; they have been Bernard’s dealer for over two decades. M390 steel, Hand-ground stone washed hollow ground blade, 63 HRC hardness, glass bead blasted Grade 5 titanium, Skiff Made caged ceramic bearings on custom tungsten discs, crowned spine and gimping, milled clip with hidden screw. Hardened steel lock insert. I love the finger choil. This one’s got a beautifully iridescent French TechnoCarbo inlay, which is 3x finer than other carbon. It’s super silky. Flips like butter. Serial number 050 for my 50th birthday; a special gift from an old friend. I’ve had a large and small Sebenza, which are of course icons and seminal in this genre, also South African in origin. This is much more than a mid-size Sebenza flipper. This is what small batch, contemporary design, technology and attention to detail culminate in - a distinct step up. Masterclass in knife craftsmanship.
Bernard’s four sons run Arno Bernard Knives and produce other outstanding knives and pens. Highly in demand, but more available than the Orca. Check them out; they are amazing to deal with. https://arnobernard.com/
