Another eBayer tells me the scales are NOT warthog tusk as originally listed, but giraffe bone instead!! Famed knife maker Arno Bernard expanded his business in recent years to include all four of his sons. This knife was originally advertised to me as one of the son’s first foray into knife making. However, the company’s web page says two of Arno’s sons collaborated to make a knife business and called it JAB. I’m not sure which is correct as far as authorizing the JAB letters etched on the mirror-finished blade, but it’s a beauty with very polished giraffe bone scales. The Bernards are known for often using scales made from animals native to South Africa. It’s a sweet little knife numbered FIX 151 on label attached to sheath. Thanks for your interest! The item “JAB Arno Bernard’s son’s mini knife withgiraffe bone scales and leather sheath” is in sale since Tuesday, March 31, 2020. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Knives, Swords & Blades\Collectible Fixed Blade Knives\Modern Fixed Blade\Custom & Handmade”. The seller is “honestal383″ and is located in Tucson, Arizona.
