Bear & Son Rancor IX OD Green 2.75 Inch Part Serr Black Drop Point BR-MC-950-OD7-BSR

The Bear & Son Rancor IX in OD Green is a modern, no-nonsense folding knife built for serious everyday use. With American craftsmanship at its core and a tactical design that’s both tough and refined, this compact workhorse is engineered to handle the demands of your daily routine with ease. Whether you're navigating the urban grind or working in the great outdoors, the Rancor IX offers strength, precision, and speed—all wrapped in a slim, lightweight profile.

At the heart of this folder is a 2.75-inch drop point blade made from D2 tool steel, known for its exceptional hardness, edge retention, and rugged durability. It's the kind of steel you can count on when the job gets tough. The partially serrated edge adds versatility, giving you both fine slicing performance and aggressive sawing power when you need it. With a black coated finish, the blade resists glare and corrosion while adding a sleek, tactical look that means business.

Deployment is fast and smooth thanks to dual opening options: a reliable blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs. Whether you prefer the quick flick of a flipper or a more controlled thumb-assisted open, the Rancor IX responds effortlessly. A secure slide lock ensures safe operation and rock-solid lockup when the blade is in use, giving you peace of mind during harder tasks.

The olive drab Zytel handle offers lightweight strength and comfortable ergonomics, with a grippy texture that ensures a solid hold in a variety of conditions. It’s a subtle, earthy tone that blends seamlessly into both outdoor and tactical environments, while the material itself is resilient and built for the long haul. Weighing just 2.6 ounces and measuring 4.37 inches closed, the Rancor IX disappears into your pocket until it's needed, making it a great choice for those who prefer gear that’s effective without being bulky.

Additional features like a black tip-up pocket clip and a built-in lanyard hole give you flexible carry options, while the manual action means you're always in full control. Whether clipped to your pocket, pack, or gear bag, this knife is always ready to go—and never overcomplicated.

Proudly made in the USA, the Rancor IX reflects Bear & Son’s commitment to American craftsmanship and practical innovation. You’ll feel that quality in every open, every cut, and every detail of the build. It’s the kind of knife that earns its place in your daily kit and stays there.
