Bear & Son Bear OPS 4.5" Slide Lock Folding Knife Blackout Partially Serrated Clip Point BR-MC-550-AIBK-BSR

The Bear & Son Bear OPS 4.5" Slide Lock Folding Knife Blackout Partially Serrated Clip Point is built for serious performance, combining premium materials with a tough, tactical design that’s ready for hard use. This American-made folder delivers the kind of reliability and strength you expect from Bear OPS, making it a dependable everyday carry whether you're on the job, in the field, or tackling demanding cutting tasks.

The knife features a 3.25" partially serrated modified clip point blade crafted from premium Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel. Known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, this high-performance steel holds up under repeated use while remaining easy to maintain. The partially serrated edge adds extra cutting power for rope, webbing, and other fibrous materials, while the modified clip point profile provides precision and control for detailed work.

Fast, smooth deployment comes from a thumb stud opener paired with a ball bearing pivot system, allowing quick one-handed opening whenever you need it. Once deployed, the sturdy slide lock mechanism secures the blade firmly in place, giving you confidence and stability during heavy cutting.

The blackout design carries through to the rugged black anodized aluminum handles. Lightweight yet extremely durable, the handles offer a solid, ergonomic grip that keeps the knife secure in your hand even during tough work. Measuring 4.5" closed and weighing 4.3 ounces, it balances pocket-friendly carry with the strength of a full-capability tactical folder.
