SHOP CASE KNIVESSKU: BR109YW
The Bear & Son 109 in Yellow is a bright, compact everyday carry folding knife that proves big performance can come in small packages. Proudly made in the USA, this little workhorse is built for practicality, ease of use, and simple dependability—all while adding a splash of color to your gear. Whether you're looking for a discreet backup blade or a lightweight primary cutter for everyday tasks, the 109 delivers with confidence.
At the center of this ultra-compact folder is a 1.5-inch drop point blade crafted from high-carbon stainless steel. It’s a steel that’s trusted for its excellent edge retention, durability, and corrosion resistance—perfect for handling all those small but important jobs throughout the day. The satin finish adds a sleek, clean look and makes maintenance easy. With a traditional nail nick, deployment is smooth and familiar, keeping the design minimal and effective.
Closed, the knife measures just 2.5 inches and weighs only 1 ounce. It practically disappears in your pocket, pack, or keychain setup, making it ideal for everyday carry without adding bulk or weight. When fully open, the Bear & Son 109 stretches to 4.12 inches—plenty of cutting edge for light utility work, opening boxes, or slicing through packaging. The slim .05-inch blade thickness contributes to precise, controlled cuts that get the job done quickly and cleanly.
One of the standout features of this model is its bold yellow aluminum handle. Not only does it give the knife a cheerful, high-visibility look, but it’s also lightweight, durable, and easy to grip. Whether you’re tossing it in a toolbox, a glove compartment, or your pocket, the yellow color ensures it won’t go unnoticed. The handle is shaped for comfort and control, allowing a secure grip in a variety of hand sizes and settings.
A built-in lanyard slot offers easy customization and carry options. Thread your favorite lanyard, paracord, or clip to keep this handy little knife exactly where you need it. Despite its size, the Bear & Son 109 doesn't compromise on function or quality. It’s built to be used, carried, and appreciated every day.
