Bear & Son Bear Edge Sideliner Folding Knife Black G-10 BR61112

Love this knife.

I'm new to B&S cutlery and so far I couldn't be happier with their products for the money. All three different models I received have nice tight lock up with no play. The blades are all well centered in the handle and appear to be perfectly straight when open. Action on all three was smooth, easy and solid. All three were very sharp out of the box.

I'm very impressed with these knives for the price point. They appear to be solid enough to take a beating and affordable enough that I'll actually put them in my pocket for EDC (ab)use.

This one happens to be my favorite of the three I bought. It feels great in my meaty hands. It has a nice weight. Edge alignment is easy and agile.

I didn't know what to expect when I ordered them. After handling them all im keeping all three.

If anyone from B&S stumbles on this review I'd be very interested in a 3.5" heavy duty blade with a locking bar/pivot lock/axis lock, tip down carry, with hand filling rounded scales that look like wood. Elegant curves and a drop or clip point would be sweet. Single bevel... Maybe S grind would be Interesting Some subtle flash or color wouldn't be amiss but hard to break, hard to dull steel somewhere in the $150 - $200 price range.

(early 2024 $$ anyway)

Keep putting out great products. I'll spread the word about you and recommend your wares to everyone I work with.
