Don't think it had a specific name other than ABF1TiYes, button lock.
Any idea what they called this model? Thanks
This is an Arno Sr knife, not part of our range. It is called the Impala. N690 steel is what he used around this time. Knife is 12 years or older.

Magnificent knife that. Inspired. I will own one one day! And warthog is about the most delicious meat I’ve had. Lovely and sweet.AB Knives has made excellent fixed blades for a long while. Jumping into the folding world of knives they have brought all that knowledge into their folders.
Excellent materials, high tolerances and attention to detail puts these up in the Shiro/CRK world.
Well done, my friends.

You're in the big leagues now! What a beauty.This just in, I added one of my lanyards with a wide diamond knot and a Crusaders' Cross bead, the paracord is called Bronze, it is woven with burgundy and black for the outer casing
