SHOP CASE KNIVESWhen you need a fixed blade that blends dependable cutting performance with modern styling, the Bear & Son Brisk 1.0 Black delivers on all counts. This knife is built to be both tough and practical, making it an excellent companion whether you’re working outdoors, tackling daily tasks, or adding a versatile piece to your collection. With its smart combination of rugged construction and sleek blacked-out design, it’s the kind of blade that feels at home in your hand and on your belt.
The Brisk 1.0 Black features a partially serrated 4.87-inch drop point blade crafted from reliable 440 stainless steel. The serrations are ready to saw through fibrous materials like rope, cord, or branches, while the plain edge section gives you a razor-sharp cut for precision slicing. Finished in black, the blade resists glare and adds an element of tactical appeal while providing a layer of protection. At nearly 5 inches, it strikes an ideal balance between size and manageability, giving you the cutting power you want without becoming cumbersome.
This knife is designed with a hidden tang, offering strength while keeping the profile slim and comfortable. The handle is where function and form really come together. It’s made from black rubberized stainless steel, so you get the solid backbone of metal paired with a grippy, rubberized exterior for comfort and security. Weight-reducing cutouts not only give the handle a modern, aggressive look, they also keep the knife balanced and nimble in the hand. The lanyard hole offers an extra option for carry or customization, so you can attach cord, a bead, or a safety tether depending on your needs.
Measuring 9.75 inches overall and weighing 9.2 ounces, the Brisk 1.0 Black has the heft to remind you it’s ready for work, yet it remains light enough to carry comfortably on your belt. Speaking of carry, Bear & Son includes a durable black nylon sheath fitted with a belt loop. It keeps your knife secure, protected, and right where you need it. Whether you’re hiking, camping, or just want the assurance of having a sturdy fixed blade within reach, the sheath makes sure your Brisk 1.0 is always accessible.
