Leopold,

Since you are from the southwest you may have heard of David Yellowhorse.  Last year and this year Bear & Son collaborated with David on a set of knives limited to 100 each.  They did two each year.  They are really nice.  I like that they are 100% American made.  I have posted pictures of them and still have two complete sets.

I like Bear & Sons cutlery and Bear Ops. Problem is, is that there are few out here in the southwest who know the brand

More than welcome Max, amazing when you look back at the history of many of the American knife people and companies how small a world it really was.

Thanks Joe for the infomation, looks like a great knife for a club knife. Stephen, here is some information on Bear. My opinion, a great American made knife made by great people.

COMPANY SPOTLIGHT: BEAR & SON CUTLERY - The history of Bear & Son Cutlery is a very proud history of combined knowledge from many prestigious cutlery companies. It started in 1991, when 3 men bought the Parker Edwards facility in Jacksonville, Alabama. The facility was famous for the production of Damascus steel knives. Also, our facility was the newest plant and ONLY complete southern cutlery pla...nt. Many people did not know this was the sister plant to W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery. The 3 of us; Herman McIntosh, Ken Griffey, and Greg Cook, saw this as a great opportunity to continue to follow our passion for making high quality cutlery, so we started Bear MGC Cutlery. Our resumes were impressive with the combined knowl edge of W. R. Case, Gerber, and Parker Edwards. Between the three of us, and our wives, we had over 100 years of experience in the cutlery industry. In addition, our supervisors and management team had lengthy experience with Parker
Edwards, Chicago Cutlery, & Gerber. This rounded out the best starting group anyone could ask for in the cutlery industry. The newly formed company, Bear MGC Cutlery, began to takeoff with numerous Blade Magazine Awards. Perhaps the largest jump in name recognition was in 1995, when Bear invented the most innovative new multi-tool on the market, according to Blade Magazine. In 1999, Swiss Army Brands, Inc. purchased Bear MGC. During this time, McIntosh and Cook decided it was time to retire and spend time with their families, while I stayed on and ran the facility for Swiss Army Brands,
Inc. Sandy, my wife, had worked for Bear in the premium and purchasing departments, since 1991. Matt, my son, worked on the factory floor learning how to build a quality knife from start to finish, since he was 18 years old. In early 2004, the three of us, myself, Sandy and Matt decided to buy Bear back from Swiss Army Brands, Inc. We renamed the company Bear & Son Cutlery and released the Custom Heritage line, one of the hottest new collectible lines on the market. Bear & Son Cutlery will continue it’s ongoing commitment to make the best knife possible, make them in America and make them affordable. With the help of our supervisors and management team, which have a combined experience of over 290 years with Gerber, W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery, Buck, Parker Edwards, Schrade, and Bear MGC Cutlery and a trained force of over 90 craftsmen strong. EVERYONE RESPECTS A BEAR. Buy a Bear and Son or Bear MGC knife today. We want to welcome you to our Bear family.
By Ken Griffey President of Bear

Nice Barlow, Bear & Son do a great job!!!

The National Pike Knife Club in Ohio had 40 made for them.  The club President was fond of the Barlow knife pattern.  His father carried a barlow with him all the time.
