Bear & Son Rancor IX Desert Sand 2.75 Inch Part Serr Black Drop Point BRMC-950-DS7-BSR

The Bear & Son Rancor IX in Desert Sand is a rugged, purpose-built everyday carry folding knife that delivers solid performance in a compact, American-made design. With durable materials, versatile features, and no-nonsense style, this knife is ready to take on daily challenges with ease—whether you're in the field, on the job, or simply out and about.

At the heart of the Rancor IX is a 2.75-inch drop point blade crafted from D2 tool steel, known for its excellent edge retention and wear resistance. This high-performance steel makes it a go-to for users who demand long-lasting sharpness and toughness in a compact blade. The partially serrated edge adds another layer of utility, making quick work of rope, webbing, and other fibrous materials while retaining a plain edge for controlled slicing. A stealthy black finish completes the look, adding corrosion resistance and low-reflection appeal.

Opening the Rancor IX is fast and intuitive thanks to both a blade flipper and ambidextrous thumb studs, giving you multiple deployment options to suit your preference or situation. Once open, the blade locks securely in place with a dependable slide lock mechanism that’s easy to operate and ensures rock-solid performance during use.

The handle is made from lightweight, impact-resistant Zytel in a desert tan color that adds a tactical touch without going overboard. Contoured for comfort and grip, the handle feels natural in the hand and stands up to everyday wear and tear with ease. Whether you’re wearing gloves or not, the Rancor IX offers a sure grip and a secure feel.

At 4.37 inches closed and 7.25 inches overall, this knife delivers a strong balance of portability and presence. Weighing only 2.6 ounces, it’s light enough for effortless carry but substantial enough to inspire confidence. A black tip-up pocket clip offers secure and discreet pocket carry, while the integrated lanyard hole adds flexibility for tethering or personalizing your setup.

Built in Jacksonville, Alabama, the Rancor IX reflects Bear & Son’s long-standing dedication to American craftsmanship. Every detail—from the precise blade grind to the secure locking mechanism—is a product of careful engineering and skilled hands. This is a knife that’s designed to perform, built to last, and proudly made in the USA.
