Bear & Son Cutlery has a legacy of making premium knives right here in the U.S. New for 2020, the company is introducing a family of compact and full-size aluminum folding knives designed for everyday carry and everyday tasks.

The Bear & Son Aluminum Slip-Joint Folding Knives are lightweight pocket knives with aluminum handles that are the perfect size to be carried around in a pocket, a purse and even hung onto a keychain. Available with either a 1 1/2- or 2 3/8-inch blade, these new pocket knives include a taper-ground drop point blade that is made from high carbon stainless steel. The use of this steel makes these knives rust resistant, easy to sharpen, and yet still hold an edge. The Bear & Son Aluminum Slip-Joint Folding Knives also include a hollow nail nick for easier blade opening.

The Bear & Son Aluminum Slip-Joint Folders are currently offered with either a black, red, blue, yellow, or orange finish. The 109 models weigh 1 ounce and the 110 models weigh 1.9 ounces. Both series are proudly made in the U.S. and feature Bear & Son’s legendary limited lifetime warranty.
