Bear & Son is making waves in the butterfly knife industry. They are known for having a smooth action and balanced weight at an intermediate price point. Their standard butterfly knives are nice, but their premium tier butterfly knives are just luxury. These knives are made in America and feature the level of craftsmanship you’d expect on an American-made knife.
At the premium tier, you gain features like polished nickel silver bolsters, titanium blade coatings, Damascus steel, and premium handle materials. Most butterfly knives feature aluminum, stainless steel, or titanium handles, but Bear & Son equips their premium knives with Cocobola wood and genuine India stag bone handles. These materials are right at home on a Case knife, but are a rare sight on butterfly knives. Bear & Son’s premium butterfly knives are truly where form meets function.
