Bear & Son Famous Pin-Up Art On World War II Bombers Memphis Belle U26DEC

The Bear & Son Famous Pin-Up Art On World War II Bombers Memphis Belle 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.

The folder blends historic American aviation art with modern everyday-carry performance. Inspired by the legendary B-17 “Memphis Belle” and the iconic pin-up nose art that defined the era, this knife delivers both visual character and dependable cutting ability in a lightweight, easy-to-carry package. 

At its core is a 3.5" modified drop point blade crafted from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a steel known for its excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The black DLC finish adds a non-reflective, wear-resistant coating that enhances durability while giving the blade a clean, tactical look. The modified drop point profile provides a strong, controllable tip and a versatile cutting edge that’s well suited for everyday utility, light duty work, and general carry tasks.

One-handed operation is fast and smooth thanks to the ambidextrous thumb stud, allowing quick deployment when time matters. The knife locks up with a reliable linerlock mechanism that keeps the blade solidly in place during use while remaining easy to disengage with one hand.

The handle is constructed from lightweight blue aluminum and features detailed World War II pin-up art from the month of December, paying tribute to the famous “Memphis Belle” bomber and the morale-boosting artwork that became a symbol of American airpower. The vivid color and classic illustration give this knife a distinct look that stands out in any collection while still maintaining a slim, ergonomic profile for comfortable carry and control.

Measuring 4.5" closed and weighing just 3.2 ounces, this folder rides easily in a pocket without feeling bulky. A tip-up pocket clip keeps it securely in place and ready for quick access, making it a practical EDC choice as well as a conversation piece for aviation and military history enthusiasts.

With its combination of quality steel, durable black DLC-coated blade, smooth one-hand operation, and striking blue aluminum handle adorned with historic pin-up art, the Bear & Son Memphis Belle folder delivers functional performance wrapped in a tribute to one of the most legendary bombers of World War II.
