The Bear & Son Famous Pin-Up Art On World War II Bombers 3PC Folding Knife Set April-May-June is a remarkable tribute to the courage, artistry, and ingenuity of the Greatest Generation. As the opening release in Bear & Son's 2026 UV Artwork Pin-Up Calendar Series, this limited-edition collection combines historic World War II bomber nose art with premium American-made craftsmanship, creating a set that's equally at home in a display case or riding in your pocket as a dependable everyday carry.
Limited to just 1,200 sets, this exclusive collection includes three USA-made folding knives representing the months of April, May, and June. Each knife showcases authentic-inspired pin-up artwork that pays homage to the legendary illustrations once painted on American bombers during World War II. April features the beloved "Yankee Lady" nose art, May highlights the iconic "Ace in the Hole" pin-up displayed on an aluminum handle, and June completes the trio with the striking "Picture Perfect" artwork. While each presentation side features its own unique monthly artwork, every knife shares an OD green aluminum clip side that reinforces the military-inspired aesthetic and ties the collection together.
These folders don't sacrifice performance for appearance. Each knife is equipped with a black-coated Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel blade, a premium steel known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Whether you're opening packages, tackling everyday cutting chores, or simply carrying a piece of American history, these blades are built to perform. Each knife measures 8 inches overall with a 3.5-inch blade, folds down to a compact 4.5 inches closed, and weighs just 3.1 ounces, offering an ideal combination of cutting capability, portability, and comfort.
The set also includes the matching 2026 UV Artwork Pin-Up Calendar, making it the perfect companion to the first three knives in this year-long collectible series. Together, the calendar and knives celebrate the monthly artwork while encouraging collectors to complete the entire twelve-knife lineup. Whether you're a military history enthusiast, a collector of limited-edition knives, or someone who appreciates American-made quality with meaningful design, this April-May-June collection delivers lasting value, dependable performance, and a powerful connection to an unforgettable era.
