I’ve wanted one of these with the mammoth molar inlay for the longest time! So happy I’ve learned about these South African makers, the way they make knives is so unique feeling and I really like it.
I almost bought one because i really like the way they look and know it's well made. But the rwl-34 blade steel ran at 59hrc stopped me from buying it. I know i know they are the maker and they know better, but I've use rwl at that hardness and its not great at all. Currently own 2 knives in rwl at 63 hrc and that steel is really good when ran harder. Wish they would step up there ht because the blade is the main purpose in buying the knife.

Agree 100% Arno, Trevor Burger….awesome knives
@@justinsistrunk7267you should check out Clyde Challenor and A2. Clyde is my favorite SA maker.
Love to see you review the new Arno Bernard pen

I would reach out to them. i heard they have.
👍
I have been tempted multiple times to pick one up, just never have. Gotta say that it’s a terrible model name 😂
Pretty sure it’s like Chris reeves (using Zulu) . It’s Xhosa for mamba, if I recall to quick google search from awhile back.
