The handle is further accented with nickel silver pins, nickel silver bolsters, and a classic Old Timer shield, all complemented by solid brass liners that enhance both strength and visual appeal. This combination of materials not only provides a solid and balanced feel in the hand but also elevates the knife’s overall elegance.
Measuring 5 inches closed and 8.5 inches overall, the Golden Bear has a comfortable size for both pocket carry and belt-mounted use.
