This knife is a bit more refined than my first Bear knife. I really like how I can flick it open with either my thumb using the side post, or with my forefinger using the small lever on the spine. Well-made in USA, feels great in my hand. Read more

the spring broke. Company offered to fix. However, the knife is much better without the spring. The knife opens and closes so easier! I can actually now open it with my thumb. The spring puts too much pressure on the blade that cut my fingers while closing the blade because I was putting too much pressure on my index finger that caused the other fingers get in the way of the blade. Love the knife know!!! Read more

I have owned this knife for 2 years know and it has been in my pocket every day. I have been very impressed with the quality, comfort, and reliability of this knife. It holds an edge longer than any knife I’ve ever owned and that even includes a few SOG blades. When it does come time to sharpen the blade it doesn’t take long to get finely honed hair shaving edge. The knife is thin enough to carry in your pocket without noticing it very much but big enough to have a good firm grip. The ergonomics are perfect which make the blade easy to control and comfortable to hold even when applying a lot of pressure. The knife has an assisted opening system which makes it easy to flip the blade out even while wearing gloves. This is the best knife I’ve ever owned and probably the last pocket knife I’ll ever buy. It is that good! You can’t go wrong by buying this knife. Read more

I have carried assist open pocket folders for many years. Most recently I carried a Kershaw which is a solid knife too but made in China. As I am a woodsman I use my knife more than most so decided I wanted a quality made in US knife to carry daily. This bear edge fit the bill. I prefer the tab along the ridge to the side mount thumb rivet so I chose this model but they have multiple configurations so pick the one that fits your preferences. I also prefer the curved tip to the tanto, both are options. The aluminum handle is excellent quality and one side has been etched gently to allow friction for better hold while the other side which has the pocket clip is smooth to make it easy to slide into your pocket. The edge was super sharp out of the box and I worked it a bit more with my whet stone and now its razor sharp (the hairless spot on my arm attests to this). Holds the edge very well, I have spent hours carving hardwood with it and havent seen a single burr on the blade. Despite being small and light the blade is very thick on the backside, thicker than my kershaw which is a slightly larger blade. The assist action is not as strong as some so I am adjusting to it, but it also is less likely to jump out of my hand accidentally deploying like I have experienced with stronger assist springs. Overall the best pocket folder Ive ever carried and I expect it to serve me many years. Read more

A friend gave me a knife like this for my birthday. I had never heard of Bear edge and when I saw it was a knife I wasn't expecting much. I was very surprised by the quality when I checked it out. The fit and finish was excellent and it was hair popping sharp out of the box. The spring assisted opening was strong and fast and the handle filled my big hands pretty well. I was glad to get it but felt bad he spent so much on me. I looked it up when I got home and was very supprised how reasonable the price was. I have had knives that cost double that weren't any better. Sorry to say I lost it about a month later. I liked it so much I bought another one on here and have had it about eight months now and the honeymoon is still on. I have sweated on it and the edge is still shaving sharp. It chaps me to Sharpen a knife and never use it and it dulls just hanging in my pocket. I haven't abused it and only cut soft stuff but it holds the edge. Another thing that I really like on both is the edge is evenly ground from hilt to tip even on the round part of the edge and tip. I have seen some high dollar knives that have wider ground spots on the edge and that is low grade. I don't figure you will find a knife for $50 better than this one. Probably not even for $100. These people take pride in their work. Read more
