Arno Bernard Medium Utility w/Bog Oak Handle

Meticulously crafted with special allure, a unique piece of Bog Oak, not a specific species, but is rather a term that designates oak that has been buried in a peat bog for hundreds or sometimes thousands of years, in the beginning stages of fossilization with hues that range from tan to almost dark brown wood. Compact, lightweight, excellent balance, gently contoured handles with emphasis on comfort and functionality as an outdoor knife, ideal to clean fish, field dress a gamebird, caping, skinning, campsite cooking or an EDC companion.
