SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bear & Son 78 Pattern Sideliner Linerlock is built for those who demand performance without the extra weight. This American-made folder features a 3.25" drop point blade crafted from 440 stainless steel, finished in satin for a clean, professional look. It's a dependable steel choice, offering solid corrosion resistance and edge retention for everyday carry and field use alike.

The stainless steel liners provide structural strength, while the linerlock mechanism secures the blade with confidence during use. A stainless steel pocket clip offers tip-down carry and is designed for quick, reliable access when you need it.
For added versatility, a lanyard hole at the handle’s end lets you attach paracord, a bead, or a tether for customization or retrieval ease. Weighing just 2.9 ounces, this knife balances strength and portability in a package built for work. Whether you're on the job, in the woods, or just handling daily tasks, this folder delivers reliability without overcomplication.
