The Bear & Son Loadout I blends dependable American-made performance with bold styling that stands out from the crowd. Built for everyday carry and ready for serious work, this folder delivers modern functionality with a retro-inspired look that gives it unmistakable personality. Whether it’s riding in your pocket at work, in the truck, or out on the trail, the Loadout I is designed to handle daily cutting tasks with confidence and style.
Its 3.75” drop point blade is crafted from tough 14C28N stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance, reliable edge retention, and the durability needed for hard everyday use. The versatile blade profile handles slicing, utility work, and precision cuts with ease, while the flipper opener delivers fast, smooth deployment whenever you need it. A sturdy liner lock keeps the blade secure during use, giving you the confidence to tackle demanding jobs without hesitation.
The standout feature of this version is its striking handle combination. The front scale is made from eye-catching 80’s CamoCarbon, bringing colorful retro attitude and lightweight strength together in one unique package. Paired with a rugged black aluminum rear handle, the knife balances bold aesthetics with practical durability. The ergonomic design feels comfortable and secure in hand while maintaining a slim carry profile. Ambidextrous carry options make it easy to configure for your preferred setup, and at 4.75” closed and weighing just 4 ounces, it carries comfortably all day long.
Proudly made in the USA, the Loadout I showcases Bear & Son’s commitment to quality craftsmanship and hardworking everyday performance.
