Bear & Son Nekama I Slide Lock Folding Knife Black Blade 80s CamoCarbon/Black Aluminum MC-1000-CF80-B

The Bear & Son Nekama I delivers rugged everyday performance with bold styling and lightweight carry comfort in a proudly American-made package. Built for users who want modern tactical function with standout visual appeal, this manual folder combines dependable materials, smooth handling, and an aggressive design that’s ready for daily use. Whether you’re opening packages, handling utility cuts, or adding something unique to your EDC rotation, the Nekama I is built to earn its place in your pocket.

Its 3.5" tanto blade is crafted from premium 14C28N stainless steel and finished with a durable black coating that adds corrosion resistance and a stealthy tactical appearance. The tanto blade shape provides excellent piercing strength and reinforced tip durability, making it ideal for tougher cutting tasks and controlled precision work. A thumb stud allows fast, reliable one-handed deployment, while the sturdy slide lock keeps the blade secure during use and disengages smoothly when the work is done.

The front handle scale features vibrant 80’s CamoCarbon, bringing together layered composite construction and retro-inspired color patterns for a look that stands apart from ordinary folders. Paired with the black aluminum rear handle, the knife delivers a strong yet lightweight build with a comfortable, secure grip. The contrast between the colorful CamoCarbon and the dark tactical hardware gives the Nekama I a distinctive appearance that’s both modern and aggressive.

At 4.5" closed and weighing just 3.1 ounces, this folder carries comfortably throughout the day without unnecessary bulk. A stainless steel pocket clip keeps it secure and close at hand, while the integrated lanyard slot offers additional carry and customization options.
