The Bear & Son Sideliner Black is a hardworking everyday carry folder that combines rugged construction, smooth operation, and American-made quality into one dependable package. Designed for users who need a reliable cutting tool on the job, in the field, or throughout daily life, this knife delivers performance without unnecessary complexity.
Its 3.37-inch drop point blade is crafted from durable 440 stainless steel, a proven material known for balancing toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. The black-coated finish gives the blade a clean tactical appearance while helping reduce glare and providing an added layer of protection against wear. The versatile drop point profile excels at a wide range of cutting tasks, from opening packages and breaking down cardboard to more demanding outdoor and utility work.
Fast access is always within reach thanks to the knife's smooth flipper opening system. Users can deploy the blade quickly with the flipper tab or use the ambidextrous thumb studs for convenient one-handed operation. Once opened, the sturdy linerlock mechanism engages securely, providing confidence and stability during use.
The black G-10 handle offers an excellent combination of strength, lightweight performance, and grip security. Its textured surface helps maintain control in wet or slippery conditions while remaining comfortable during extended use. Measuring 4.5 inches closed and 7.87 inches overall, the Sideliner strikes an ideal balance between compact carry and practical cutting capability. At 4.4 ounces, it feels substantial in hand without becoming cumbersome in the pocket.
A reversible tip-up pocket clip allows for adaptable carry preferences, while the integrated lanyard slot provides additional attachment options for packs, gear, or everyday carry setups.
