SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bear & Son Wharncliffe Blue Jean Micarta is a refined blend of modern utility and old-school cool, proudly made in the USA and designed to be as hardworking as it is good-looking. With its clean lines, durable materials, and classic profile, this everyday carry pocket knife is built for those who want substance without sacrificing style.
At the heart of the knife is a 3.25-inch Wharncliffe blade crafted from D2 tool steel—known for its excellent edge retention and long-lasting durability. Whether you're slicing, scoring, or handling more detailed work, the straight edge and precision tip of the Wharncliffe design make it an ideal choice for control and accuracy. The satin finish adds a sleek, clean look that resists glare while showing off the steel’s quality and craftsmanship. A traditional right-hand nail nick provides simple, familiar access for easy two-handed opening.
With a 4.5-inch closed length and an overall length of 7.75 inches, the Bear & Son Wharncliffe offers a full-size grip without becoming cumbersome. It’s a knife that feels natural in the hand and rides easily in your pocket. At 3.6 ounces, it carries some weight—just enough to feel solid and dependable, yet still comfortable for all-day use. This isn’t a knife you’ll forget you’re carrying—it’s one you’ll be glad you brought along.
What really sets this piece apart is the handle. Made from blue jean Micarta, it brings rugged texture and unique character to the knife’s overall design. Micarta is known for its strength, moisture resistance, and tactile grip, and this particular variation adds a vintage denim-inspired style that’s as distinctive as it is practical. No two knives will age exactly the same, making yours feel more personal with every use.
A lanyard hole at the end of the handle gives you a few extra carry and customization options—whether you prefer to add a bit of paracord for quick retrieval or just want to make it your own. The build is tight, the materials are top-tier, and every detail feels intentional. Bear & Son’s dedication to American craftsmanship shines through in every curve and contour of this knife.
This is a pocket knife that’s meant to be used, admired, and carried often. Whether you're working with your hands, heading into the woods, or just opening boxes at the office, the Bear & Son Wharncliffe is a reliable and stylish choice.
