I have been looking around for a nice small fixed blade knife. I have read good things about Arno Bernard's work and decided to buy one from BladeArt.

It looks pretty cool on the site. I ordered the 2.25" Wharncliffe blade with the warthog ivory handle. It is the exact one on BladeArt's site with the cool, large natural marking on one side of the handle. Looks very nice. It looks like Mr. Bernard did a great job of artistically lining up the natural marking with the curved shape of the scale. Should be here in a couple of days.
 
I bought a couple of Arno knives at a show last year. A drop point about the same size as yours with the warthog handle and a larger one with giraffe bone. Yours might come with a Cape Buffalo hide pouch sheath. Thick leather with a lot of texture on the outside. They also have tapered tangs. I think you're gonna like it, it's a pretty slick little package.
 
Yeah I saw that little guy on the site Jay.., great looking little knife....enjoy!
