Bear & Son Cutlery Unveils new A08 Series of Autos

Knives Illustrated has learned that Bear & Son Cutlery, the Alabama-based knife manufacturer, has introduced its new A08 series of automatic knives that combine the look of a traditional lockback knife design with the fast on-demand opening action.

These Bear & Son Knives Are Budget Friendly

The  A08 series are new automatic opening lockbacks that fit the budget and lifestyle of the American work force. They will range in price from $158.75 to $174.99.

Three Models of the A08 Available

 They will be available in three different handle materials: Rosewood, Genuine India Stag Bone and Black G10. Each of these A08 series knives will feature a 440 stainless steel blade, 2 ¾ inches long that opens swiftly with a firm push of a polished, recessed button. The EDM Precision locking mechanism ensures safe and reliable operation under the most strenuous tasks, yet an easy press allows the knife to fold closed.

Each A08 series knife will weigh 2.9 ounces and measure 3 7/8 inches closed, so it will fit comfortably in any pocket, but will be secure in the hand. It’s a great choice for those seeking a new everyday carry pocket knife. The A08 also includes a hearty, polished pocket clip as well as a lanyard hole.
