SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bear & Son Famous Pin-Up Art on World War II Bombers “Ace In The Hole” folding knife is a bold tribute to the iconic aircraft, artwork, and the men and women who served during the Second World War. Created as part of the 2026 WWII Pin-Up Calendar and matching limited-edition knife series, this piece honors the spirit, sacrifice, and style of a defining era, blending historical artwork with modern American knife-making.
At the center of this folder is a 3.5" modified drop point blade crafted from premium 14C28N stainless steel. Known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening, this steel is well suited for daily use, whether you’re opening boxes, cutting cordage, or handling light outdoor tasks. The blade is finished in a black DLC coating that adds an extra layer of wear and corrosion protection while reducing glare and giving the knife a sleek, tactical appearance. A thumb stud allows for fast, one-handed deployment, making it quick into action when time matters.
The linerlock mechanism provides solid, reliable lockup, keeping the blade securely in place during use while allowing for smooth, controlled closing. The handle is constructed from lightweight blue aluminum, offering a strong yet comfortable grip that won’t weigh down your pocket. What truly sets this knife apart is its striking “Ace In The Hole” artwork, a reproduction of classic World War II pin-up nose art from the month of May. The detailed graphic adds character and nostalgia, making this knife as much a collectible piece as it is a practical tool.
With a closed length of 4.5" and a weight of just 3.2 ounces, this folder carries easily without feeling bulky. The tip-up pocket clip keeps it secure and readily accessible, whether you’re on the job, at the range, or just going about your day. The slim profile and balanced construction make it comfortable in hand and easy to control for precise cutting tasks.
Built for those who appreciate both history and performance, the Bear & Son Ace In The Hole delivers a sharp, durable blade, smooth operation, and a handle design that stands out from the crowd. It’s a knife that honors the bold spirit of WWII aviation while providing the modern materials and reliability you want in an everyday carry folder.
