If you're after an American-made folding knife that delivers speed, performance, and durability in a sleek, compact package, the Bear & Son Sideliner Satin Black is built to impress. Proudly made in the USA, this folder blends modern everyday functionality with dependable materials, making it an ideal choice for those who want a reliable knife that’s as ready for work as it is for pocket carry.
The Bear & Son Sideliner features a 2.87-inch 440 stainless steel drop point blade that strikes the right balance between toughness, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. The satin finish brings a clean, professional look while adding a layer of protection. Whether you’re slicing cord, opening boxes, or tackling unexpected tasks, this blade delivers precise control and all-around versatility for everyday use.
One of the standout features of this knife is its spring-assisted opening system. Combined with both a blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs, the deployment is fast, smooth, and secure—exactly what you want when time matters or when you're working one-handed. A sturdy linerlock keeps the blade safely in place when open, providing dependable strength without adding bulk.
The black G-10 handle offers lightweight durability and a confident grip, even in less-than-ideal conditions. It’s textured just enough to give you control without being overly aggressive, making it comfortable for extended use. The integrated lanyard slot gives you extra carry options or the chance to personalize your knife with paracord or a custom fob.
At just 4 inches closed and 6.87 inches overall, the Sideliner fits comfortably in your pocket without taking up valuable space. Weighing only 2.09 ounces and sporting a .12-inch blade thickness, it’s easy to forget you’re carrying it—until you need it. And when that time comes, you’ll be glad to have a tool that opens quickly, cuts cleanly, and locks up with confidence.
Every detail of this knife reflects Bear & Son’s commitment to quality and American craftsmanship. From the expertly ground blade to the smooth action and solid construction, it’s a knife made by folks who understand what real users expect from their gear.
