SHOP CASE KNIVESMeet the Bear & Son Lightweight—a versatile, American-made tool that’s ready to handle the everyday and beyond. This compact folding knife is built with a high-grade 2.5-inch drop point blade crafted from 440 stainless steel. Known for its impressive edge retention and resistance to corrosion, 440 stainless steel makes this blade an ideal choice for those who need reliable performance in a variety of environments. The blade’s plain edge provides clean cuts, while the drop-point design ensures a balanced profile that’s perfect for everything from slicing to finer tasks.
Bear & Son enhances this knife with a sleek black powder-coated finish, lending it a sophisticated look while adding an extra layer of protection against wear. An orange pivot collar provides a pop of color, giving this knife a distinct and modern style that’s bound to turn heads. For easy, one-handed opening, this knife is fitted with ambidextrous thumb studs, ensuring that right- and left-handed users alike can deploy the blade with ease. Once opened, the framelock holds the blade securely in place, so you can tackle tougher jobs with total confidence.
The textured black stainless steel handle is designed to provide a reliable grip in a compact package. It’s rugged enough to stand up to daily wear and tear, yet comfortable in hand, whether you’re using it in dry or wet conditions. Bear & Son knows that an EDC knife should be as practical as it is tough, and this handle delivers, giving you complete control without compromising style or comfort.
When closed, the Bear & Son Lightweight measures just 3.5 inches, making it a great fit for pocket carry. Weighing in at only 2.7 ounces, it’s light enough to go unnoticed in your pocket or pack but strong enough to make a statement. The tip-down pocket clip allows for quick, secure access, while the added lanyard hole offers flexible carry options, so you can attach it to your gear or keychain if you prefer.
With a blade thickness of 0.12 inches, this knife maintains a low profile, yet its 6-inch overall length ensures it’s large enough to handle a variety of tasks. The framelock mechanism adds security without adding bulk, giving you peace of mind when the blade’s open and in use. This manual folder is designed to be your everyday carry workhorse, giving you reliability and functionality without weighing you down.
