SHOP CASE KNIVESThe 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.
At its core is a 3.5-inch 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 a dependable choice for everyday cutting tasks. The blade is finished with a durable black DLC coating that reduces glare, enhances wear resistance, and gives the knife a tough, mission-ready look. A thumb stud allows for smooth, one-handed opening, putting the blade into action quickly and confidently.
The handle is where this knife truly stands apart. Constructed from lightweight yet strong blue anodized aluminum, it features the classic “Bombers Peaches” pin-up artwork from the month of July, inspired by the legendary nose art seen on WWII bombers like the Memphis Belle. The vibrant colors and detailed illustration capture the morale-boosting imagery that became a symbol of home, hope, and personality for aircrews flying dangerous missions overseas. It’s a striking combination of history and function that makes this knife as collectible as it is usable.
A reliable linerlock mechanism secures the blade solidly in the open position, while a tip-up pocket clip ensures convenient, discreet carry. Measuring 4.5 inches closed and weighing just 3.2 ounces, it’s compact and light enough for everyday carry, yet substantial enough to feel confident in hand.
Whether you’re a knife enthusiast, military history buff, or collector of WWII memorabilia, this limited-edition Bear & Son folder delivers performance, craftsmanship, and a powerful visual tribute in one rugged package.
