Bear & Son Cutlery's passion shows in these knives based on memories of days past when quality was more important than quantity. Each of these handcrafted knives is made with old-world techniques with the best modern materials to create tools to fit today's most demanding tasks
Bear & Son has a skilled and experienced workforce capable of performing many of the extra-hand operations that go into the making of their products. While some companies only assemble parts brought from various suppliers and put their names on the product, they do everything in-house from building their own blanking dies to heat treating, grinding and assembly, and hand finishing their products. These steps ensure that Bear & Son Cutlery is of excellent quality and a real value for both the dealer and the consumer.

Something a little different
Visually, it's interesting and a little unconventional. The slab sides and exposed hardware give this knife a more utilitarian look compared to Bear's classic barlow. But the fine satin finish on the bolster, liners and backspring give a nice contrast to the matte black blade and lightly textured G10, giving it a touch of class. The pictures don't really show that.Sharpness, centering, walk and talk are all identical to my classic barlow - all very good at this price. The overall presentation comes across as less delicate, and as a result this one spends more time in my pocket than the slicker, fully polished versions. Highly recommended, especially if you plan to put these to regular use.
