The Arno Bernard Knives Turaco is a state-of-the-art pocket knife from the traditional manufacturer Arno Bernard Knives. This family-run business produces knives where almost every detail is manufactured in-house – from the blade to the smallest screw. Only the washers are sourced externally. The result is a folder in the absolute premium segment, combining modern mechanics, uncompromising material selection, and exceptionally precise craftsmanship.
