The Turaco is the next evolution in premium performance from Arno Bernard, building on the success of the iMamba®. Designed and manufactured entirely in-house, it sets a new benchmark for a true “no stick” plunge-lock button mechanism. The action is glass-smooth, the tolerances are exceptional, and every major component is hand-polished and hand-fitted to eliminate machine marks and deliver a flawless finish.

From the hex-shaped keyed pivot system and precision bearing housing to the redesigned titanium thumb stud, every detail has been engineered without compromise. The skeletonised titanium frame keeps weight to under 112g, while the larger backspacer protects the blade tip while closed. Deployment is effortless in multiple ways - flipper tab, reverse flick, thumb roll, or thumb stud, all backed by a rock-solid lockup and zero rattle.

The drop point blade is crafted from Böhler M390 stainless steel, heat treated to 63 HRC for outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Available in hand-polished mirror belt satin or stonewashed finishes, and paired with premium inlays including carbon fibre and select natural materials, the Turaco is a statement piece - meticulously made and built to be used.
