Description: Carl Auböck III designed this knife to be produced in either a horn handle or rattan wrapped handle. The horn is heavy and feels terrific in your hands. This knife is marked with the standard Amboss and Auböck marks with the anvil and Made in Austria etched in the blade. This model is getting harder to find with this zig zag handle and blade design.
