The iMamba® from Arno Bernard is the product of legacy, patience, and pride in workmanship. Built entirely in-house by the Bernard brothers in South Africa, each knife carries the mark of hands-on craftsmanship at every stage. This is not a knife rushed from machine to box - it is carefully fitted, inspected, and refined, achieving tolerances of less than 0.01mm and a level of finish that reflects genuine attention to detail. What you feel in hand is intention — balance, precision, and care. The blade is crafted from high-performance RWL 34 stainless steel and offered in hand-polished mirror belt satin, or refined stonewashed finishes and sharpened by hand, revealing a perfect crisp edge. A lightweight titanium frame and pocket clip keep the carry practical, while the locking interface is hand-lapped for full surface engagement and a bank volt lock-up. Ceramic caged bearings deliver a smooth, glass-like action. The standard configuration features a rounded opening tab for confident one-handed use, while the ‘Delete’ version removes the tab for those fond of the reverse-flick opening style and clean outline. Measuring 7.9” overall and weighing just 4.3 ounces, the iMamba brings together heritage craftsmanship and modern performance in one refined, hard-use capable folder.
