My new EDC
I've decided to branch out from the Case, Schrade, and Buck knifes and try another style and have gone happily to Bear and Son. Bought three and am happy with all three. I've just got them in. This one has the rosewood handles and bolsters that make it very appealing. It also has a delightful shape and size. Blade is sharp. It's easy to hold and use and does the intended job.The locking mechanism is perfect. Lockback style knife is my preference. My new EDC. Have another Bears and Son I like but I like this one is a little bit better. Im going to switch between this and the other Bear and Son that I bought but this one might be the primary for a good while. Yeap diffininly recommend this one.

Great Knife!
This is a great American made product! The rosewood handles, and bolsters make it a very attractive pocket knife. The blades are very sharp, stainless steel and of a good length. The locking mechanism is a little stiff, and sometimes it doesn't release easily. It seems to be getting easier overtime, as I use it more often. I would recommend this knife to anyone needing a medium size pocket knife. It is fairly flat in one's pocket. I'm thinking of buying more as backups, or even beginning a Collection!

Knife is dangerous. Very difficult to close.
Knife is virtually impossible to close. Only way to close it initially was to put it on a flat surface keeping it away from fingers and press blade against surface. Not sure what's going on with Bear & Son - they used to make a decent knife. Stay away from this model.
