SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bear & Son Executive Lockback in Rosewood is a refined gentleman’s folder that blends timeless design with dependable functionality. Proudly made in the USA, this compact lockback knife is a statement of craftsmanship, understated elegance, and everyday utility. It’s the kind of piece that fits as easily in a tailored suit pocket as it does in the hands of a discerning outdoorsman.
At the heart of this classic folder is a 2.12-inch drop point blade crafted from high-carbon stainless steel. Known for its strength and edge retention, this steel handles daily tasks with ease, whether you're opening mail, slicing cord, or prepping campfire kindling. The satin finish adds a clean, polished look that reflects the refined style of the knife, while ambidextrous nail nicks make blade access smooth and comfortable for left- and right-handed users alike.
With a closed length of just 3 inches, this knife is compact and unobtrusive—perfect for pocket carry or storing in a leather slip sheath. When open, it measures 5.25 inches overall, giving you enough blade length for practical use without adding bulk. The slim .06-inch blade thickness strikes an ideal balance between finesse and functionality, offering precise cutting without compromising durability. Weighing just 1.5 ounces, the Executive Lockback feels featherlight in the hand but carries the strength you’d expect from a quality American-made knife.
The rosewood handle sets this knife apart, with its rich grain and warm tone giving it a classic, gentlemanly appeal. Paired with stainless steel liners and polished nickel silver bolsters, the handle exudes a refined look that’s as comfortable on a boardroom desk as it is clipped to a pocket during a weekend hike. It’s an inviting design—simple, smooth, and built to last.
The lockback mechanism is a time-tested feature that provides a secure and satisfying snap when locking the blade in place. It's reliable, sturdy, and adds a level of safety that users have trusted for decades. Whether you're using it for quick cuts or extended use, the lockback keeps everything tight and under control.
