Modern Design, American Craftsmanship

The Bear & Son Nekama I brings a modern look to traditional American knife-making. Built with a black anodized aluminum handle and a black-finished Sandvik 14C28N stainless tanto blade, it’s a sleek, durable folder ready for everyday carry.

Featuring a slide lock mechanism, ambidextrous thumb studs, and striking orange accent hardware, the Nekama I delivers smooth action and secure lock-up in a lightweight frame. It’s a perfect blend of tactical styling and daily practicality, made by one of the few remaining cutlers still crafting knives entirely in the USA.

Each Nekama I is manufactured and hand-assembled in Jacksonville, Alabama, where Bear & Son continues to produce reliable knives with in-house heat treating, grinding, and finishing. This knife combines precision machining with hand-fit attention to detail, offering excellent performance at an approachable price.
