Sleek, dependable, and built with everyday versatility in mind, the Bear & Son 563 Bow Trapper is a modern twist on a timeless pocket knife design. With dual blades and an all-stainless construction, this American-made folder is an excellent choice for anyone who values reliability, ease of use, and clean, classic styling in their daily carry.
The 563 Bow Trapper features a pair of 3-inch blades: a clip point and a razor-style blade, both made from durable stainless steel. The clip point blade is sharpened to a fine, piercing tip, making it ideal for precision cuts and detailed work. It’s outfitted with an ambidextrous thumb hole, giving you smooth, easy one-handed access whether you’re right- or left-handed. The secondary razor blade brings a more traditional utility edge to the table. With a straight edge and long pull, it’s perfectly suited for slicing and clean cuts—especially useful for tasks like trimming, shaving, or controlled scoring.
Both blades sport a satin finish, offering a clean, professional look while adding a layer of corrosion resistance. That understated sheen works hand-in-hand with the stainless steel handle, which features a curved design for a comfortable, ergonomic grip that’s easy to control. The smooth handle design also keeps things minimal and snag-free in your pocket, perfect for quick access on the go.
At just 3.5 inches closed and a total length of 6.5 inches when open, this compact knife disappears in your pocket until you need it. With a slim .06-inch blade thickness and a profile that’s tailor-made for portability, the Bear & Son 563 won’t weigh you down but will always be ready to perform. The absence of a bulky pocket clip keeps the lines clean and the carry traditional, whether it’s in a coin pocket, toolbox, or the bottom of a pack.
Made proudly in the USA, this knife showcases Bear & Son’s long-standing commitment to craftsmanship and practical design. Every detail is tuned for performance—from the precise fit of the blades to the solid feel of the stainless handle. It’s a knife you’ll want to keep close, whether you’re in the workshop, on a hike, or just handling daily tasks around the house.
