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

The Bear & Son Nekama I blends bold styling with dependable everyday performance in a lightweight American-made package built for serious carry. Designed with a modern tactical profile and eye-catching materials, this manual folder stands out just as much for its cutting capability as it does for its unmistakable appearance. Whether it’s handling daily utility work or riding comfortably in your pocket as a reliable backup blade, the Nekama I is built to perform.

Its 3.5" tanto blade is crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, a premium blade steel known for excellent corrosion resistance, edge stability, and easy maintenance. The tanto profile delivers outstanding piercing strength and reinforced tip durability, making it especially effective for tougher cutting tasks and precision work alike. A thumb stud allows quick, controlled one-handed deployment, while the sturdy slide lock keeps the blade secure during use and releases smoothly when it’s time to close.

The handle design gives the Nekama I its unmistakable personality. The front scale features vibrant 80’s CamoCarbon, combining layered composite construction with loud retro-inspired color patterns that demand attention without sacrificing durability. The rear handle is crafted from black aluminum, adding lightweight strength and a clean tactical contrast to the colorful front scale. Together, they create a balanced grip that feels secure and comfortable in hand while delivering standout visual appeal.

At 4.5" closed and weighing just 3.1 ounces, the Nekama I carries easily without feeling bulky. A stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife secure and accessible throughout the day, while the integrated lanyard slot provides additional carry and customization options.
