Great Quality

The quality and looks of this knife are outstanding. The fit and finish are awesome. I especially like the carbon steel blade. This is a great buy.

Perfect pocket knife!

It came with a sharp blade and a beautiful finish. It's easy to open and has a dependable lock. It's a perfect pocket knife!

Real knife and real sharp

I was surprised how light it is, it's very thin and much thinner than a old timer that looks similar. So it's a joy to EDC, all purpose working man's knife. It's replacing an old timer 1095 carbon steel, trapper. The 1095 carbon steel in the C205 sharpens great and the walnut handle looks great . I never had a knife over $20 before and it's worth every penny.

Classic

I actually received the one in the picture, the display model, if you will. Great feel in hand with its contoured handles. No fear of this lock ever failing on me. Big enough for every job yet small enough for any pocket.

Incredible craftsmanship

This is the perfect edc that walks the line between too big and too small, and between too heavy and too light. The curves are just right, I love the lack of belt clip. It opens easy, closes easy. Best of all, the wood is sublime. It's got character and care packed in it. Blade came nice and sharp. This is what you expect of made in USA quality. I will definitely order more from Bear and Son.

Excellent

Beautifully crafted. Razor sharp and holds that edge better than my other knives. Truly reminds me of a pocket knife from my boyhood (the '50s)- only better. I wouldn't be without a locking back now. No ugly belt clip I have to remove. Walnut on both sides, not just the advertised side. Not easy to find high carbon steel these days (you could use it to strike sparks in an emergency). Fairly priced and delivered on time. My new every day carry. My new knife company.

Bear & son lockback

I like the size and compactness of the knife and the lock up is tight, I got it to be an EDC since it is carbon steel and lighter than my 112, just I wish it was a little sharper out of the box but will be fine. Also had work the action and add some oil as it was stiff. KC was quick to send it. For the price I should have gotten a sheath. Overall I one it.
