SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bear & Son Bold Action XVI Automatic Knife Bead Blast combines lightweight construction with reliable performance in a sleek, everyday carry design. Its 3.00-inch Wharncliffe blade is made from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a premium steel known for its corrosion resistance, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. The blade features a bead-blasted finish that reduces glare and adds a rugged, utilitarian look while highlighting the precision grind, making it ideal for everyday cutting tasks and self-defense situations.
With a push-button automatic opener, this knife deploys quickly and smoothly at the press of a button. The recessed firing button allows for snag-free carry, and the integrated safety mechanism ensures secure handling by preventing accidental deployment. The 4.00-inch black aluminum handle keeps the knife lightweight at only 2.20 ounces while offering strength, comfort, and control. Jimping along the handle adds extra grip security for confident use.
For carry convenience, the Bold Action XVI includes a tip-up deep-carry pocket clip for discreet everyday pocket carry, along with a lanyard loop for additional options. Compact, ergonomic, and fast in action, this Bear OPS automatic folder is built to perform wherever you take it.
