Bear & Son Cutlery has introduced a new Carbon Steel 2-Blade Folding Knife aimed at hunters and outdoorsmen who prefer traditional materials and a full-size folding design. Made in Jacksonville, Alabama, the Bear & Son Carbon Steel folding knife pairs two 1095 carbon-steel blades with a Genuine India Stag Bone handle and an included leather sheath.
The knife uses a 4 3/8-inch clip-point blade for general hunting and camp chores, along with a straight-back blade intended for more controlled cutting tasks. At 5 1/4 inches closed and 6.8 ounces, it is larger and heavier than many contemporary pocket folders, putting it closer to the traditional folding-hunter category.

The choice of 1095 carbon steel keeps the design firmly rooted in traditional hunting knives. The steel is widely valued for straightforward sharpening and edge performance, although carbon steel generally requires more attention to cleaning and corrosion prevention than many stainless alternatives.
The stag-bone handle and leather sheath reinforce that classic approach. Rather than chasing the ultra-lightweight, synthetic-handle formula common in many current folders, Bear & Son has positioned this model as a substantial field knife with traditional styling and two purpose-oriented blade profiles.
The Carbon Steel 2-Blade Folding Knife carries an MSRP of $119.99.
