Perhaps the best value ever
For a quality, slim EDC knife that you will forget is in your pocket, until you need to board a plane or testify in court, this is the one to get. I had access to Bear and Son knives when I worked at a local auto parts store. But when that closed, I was dismayed to lose my access to them. I am glad to see that they are here and available. Although it may be slightly small for an emergency cheesecake, I highly recommend getting one. Perfect size for pocket carry and lightweight without sacrificing strength...............................rj

Excellent Quality
The quality of this knife is excellent. Tight lockup. No blade wobble, no machine marks, no scratches or blemishes. No defects in manufacturing processes. The blade grind is fantastic.The blade has a nice polish to it that's difficult to photograph. This knife is easily as good or better than other American brands including Case.

Another fine product from Bear & Son
I bought this knife for my father in law. He works at a refinery and needed a knife that would lay flat in his pocket and still fit in his hand. He was carrying a Chinese made knife and I gave him grief about it because I knew he could be carrying a quality American Made knife. This one fit the bill to a T. I own several Bean & Son knives and each one is a fine testament to American made craftsmanship. This knife will endure a lifetime of use and one he is proud to keep in his pocket.

Nice little knife
I work in an office where if you carry a blade that is “scary looking” staff assumes you will one day gut them like a fish. What to do? Get a really small blade. This one fits the bill. My only complaint is I thought it was going to be…well…anything but sharp. I’m used to American made Kershaws, which are so sharp out of the box you can, literally, shave with them. I ran my thumb gently across the blade, and proclaimed “it’s dull and you get what you pay for.” A minute later I realized my thumb was bleeding ever so slightly. Sharp knife. Good for opening packages. And no worries, not big enough to gut the staff like a fish.
