The Bear & Son Sideliner Rancher Stag Bone is a striking blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern functionality, delivering a folding knife that’s as dependable as it is beautiful. Proudly made in the USA, this knife reflects Bear & Son’s dedication to quality materials, precision workmanship, and timeless design. Whether you’re looking for a hardworking everyday carry folding knife or an heirloom-quality piece to add to your collection, the Sideliner Rancher delivers on every level.
At its core, this knife features a 3.37-inch drop point blade crafted from premium D2 tool steel. Revered by knife users for its exceptional hardness and edge retention, D2 is a semi-stainless tool steel capable of standing up to heavy use while holding a razor-sharp edge longer than many standard steels. The satin finish enhances the clean lines of the blade while also resisting wear, giving it a sleek, professional look that matches its performance. The drop point shape adds versatility, providing a strong tip for piercing tasks as well as a broad belly for slicing, making it well-suited for everything from daily utility work to outdoor adventures.
Deployment is smooth and reliable thanks to the blade flipper design. With just a simple press, the blade opens effortlessly, riding on precision construction that ensures consistent action every time. Once deployed, the blade locks firmly in place with a linerlock mechanism, giving you the confidence to tackle a wide variety of cutting tasks without hesitation. This combination of flipper action and secure lock-up makes the Sideliner Rancher a knife you can trust in both convenience and safety.
The handle is where this knife truly shines. Made from genuine India stag bone, it offers a look and feel that synthetic materials simply can’t replicate. Each piece of stag bone is unique, with its own natural character and texture, ensuring that no two knives are exactly alike. The warm, rugged appearance of the handle is perfectly balanced by the polished steel liners, creating a knife that’s not only functional but also visually captivating. At 4.25 inches closed and weighing just 3 ounces, the knife is compact and lightweight enough for everyday pocket carry while still providing a substantial feel in the hand.
For practical carry, the Sideliner Rancher is fitted with a tip-up pocket clip, keeping the knife secure and ready at your side throughout the day. It also comes boxed and includes a black drawstring pouch, adding a touch of refinement whether you’re storing it, carrying it, or presenting it as a gift. The overall length of 7.62 inches gives it excellent balance between portability and usability, making it a versatile choice for anyone who appreciates a knife that looks as good as it performs.
