Reader Reviews
Bear and Son call this knife the Feathermate, and while it is compact, it is not the lightest knife of its kind. To its credit, it feels heavy and solid, so much so that I was surprised to measure the blade's thickness at only an eighth of an inch. It's made of hollow-ground, high-carbon stainless that should have no trouble taking a razor-sharp edge, although I find it sharp enough out of the box and am reluctant to hone it to a less durable edge.
I have several folders of similar size, but most of them cost twice as much, and there's something compelling about the way a well-designed fixed-blade kife feels like a natural extension of one's entire skeleton. The Feathermate fills that bill, with contoured Zytel grips that fit my (rather small) hand perfectly. They are finished rather roughly, and with their squared-off edges, they are much more comfortable than expected.
I'd compare this knife to the Cold Steel Pendleton Hunter, the Buck Mini Alpha, or the Gerber Freeman, and at this price ($19 as of this writing), it's an attractive buy.
