Bear & Son Cutlery

Bear & Son Cutlery (a.k.a. Bear MGC) is an innovative American cutlery manufacturer with a rich tradition. They have a large and new plant in Alabama and use the most modern equipment and techniques to produce these fine items.

Bear & Son offer some great designs in folders. Many are very traditional but several designs are very modern. All are well constructed and a great value.

Bear & Son is one of the few commercial knife manufacturers offering knives with Damascus blades. Damascus steel combines steels of different properties and produces blades with extraordinary toughness and edge-holding ability.

Known as the Steel of the Ancients, Damascus knives and swords have lived in legend since the creation of Damascus steel nearly 2,000 years ago. The ancient city of Damascus was one of the centers of production of this steel.

That, combined with the fact that the steel resembled the damask cloth which was being produced in the city of Damascus both having a "water-marked" pattern- gave this steel its name.

Viewed under a microscope, the cutting edge of a Damascus blade displays tiny saw-tooth carbides which are formed by forging in a coal fire. This enables the blade to cut even when it feels dull to the touch. Flexibility is superb.

Every piece of Damascus is as unique as a thumb print. When ground on an angle, as in a blade, the displayed pattern is stunning. Note: Limited quantities available.
