Arno Bernard Knives makes quality knives from premium materials at affordable prices. Their workshop is located outside of Bethlehem, a beautiful town in Eastern Free State of South Africa. The rolling hills, green grasslands and beautiful water are ample inspiration for an artist perfecting his craft.
Arno Bernard Sr. made his first knife out of a saw blade in 1979. Currently, each blade is hollow ground freehand and hand-polished from world-class Bohler N690 stainless steel from Austria. Then it is heat treated and tempered to insure absolute quality. After going through the liquid nitrogen process, the blade is 59-60 on the Rockwell scale of hardness.
To celebrate 35 years of making knives and 20 years as a member of the Knifemakers Guild of Southern Africa (KGSA), Arno Bernard has made two special designs that will only be offered in 2014. Second design that commerates 35 years of making knives can be found here
