The Bear and Son Small Slip Joint has a 1.5-inch satin high carbon stainless drop point blade, a yellow aluminum handle, a thumb pull, a lanyard hole and a pocket clip, closing to 2.5 inches.
A pocket clip on a 2.5-inch slip joint is unusual, since knives this small normally ride loose or on a keyring. It keeps the knife high in a pocket where it can be found by feel. Without a lock the knife also falls outside the carry restrictions that apply to locking folders in a good many places, which is part of why small slip joints have come back into production.
Aluminum keeps the handle rigid without weight, and yellow makes the knife easy to spot in a drawer or a pack. High carbon stainless holds an edge better than plain stainless while resisting the rust a carbon blade would pick up. Explore more Traditional Knives.
