Bear & Son Rancor IX Desert Sand 2.75 Inch Plain Black Drop Point BRMC-950-DS7-B

The Bear & Son Rancor IX Desert Sand Plain is a rugged, ready-for-anything folding knife built for everyday performance and proudly made in the USA. With a bold yet practical design, this manual folder is a go-to tool for anyone who values strength, speed, and American craftsmanship in a lightweight, pocket-friendly package.

At the core of this knife is a 2.75-inch drop point blade crafted from dependable D2 tool steel. This high-performance steel is prized for its excellent edge retention and toughness, making it a smart choice for users who demand more from their gear. The blade features a sleek black finish that adds a layer of corrosion resistance while dialing up the visual appeal. Whether you're cutting cord, slicing open boxes, or handling routine daily tasks, the Rancor IX delivers smooth, controlled cuts every time.

Deployment is fast and intuitive thanks to two opening options: a blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs. Whether you’re right- or left-handed, this knife ensures a quick, reliable open with minimal effort. The slide lock keeps the blade securely in place during use and allows for easy one-handed closing, adding to the overall convenience and safety of the design.

The Desert Sand Zytel handle provides lightweight durability with just the right amount of grip. Zytel is known for its strength-to-weight ratio, and Bear & Son has done it justice with this contoured, ergonomic shape. At 4.37 inches closed and weighing only 2.6 ounces, this knife disappears into your pocket but is always ready to work when you need it. It’s the perfect balance of minimal bulk and maximum utility.

A reversible tip-up pocket clip makes this knife even more versatile for carry preferences. Whether you're a lefty or just prefer switching it up, the Rancor IX adapts to fit your style. It also features a lanyard hole, offering another option for carry or customization. Every detail of this knife is built around the user—no gimmicks, just smart, reliable design.

With an overall length of 7.25 inches when open, the Rancor IX feels just right in hand—substantial enough for real work, yet nimble enough for everyday tasks. Bear & Son’s commitment to American manufacturing shines through in every part of this knife. From the precise blade grind to the confident lockup, you can feel the quality every time you deploy it.
