Bear and Son Have Really Stepped Up Their Game
I have purchased several Bear & Son knifes over the years. Some have been good and some have been only okay. But, I have stuck with them because I want them to succeed. The 457GB is a huge step forward. I love the feel of the micarta. The blade action is great and the dentent works great. I'm not complaining, but just a suggest - take the next leap and go to a "super" steel.

very nice slipjoint
First Bear & Sons knife. I was a little leery, but decided to give them a try. Very impressive and I'll try more of their products. Fresh out of the box, the blade is very sharp ( not like Case). There's a half stop, which I think all slip joints should have. The micarta feels and looks great. This is on the large side for a non-locking folder, but it's still an easy carry. Recommended
