Bear And Son Cutlery has released another outdoor focused folding pocketknife model, the new Bear Edge Brisk 2.0 Pocket Knife. The business end of this affordable pocketknife has a three and a half inch drop point blade that is made from 440 stainless steel to hold its edge. This blade material choice makes the Brisk 2.0 suitable for a wide range of outdoor and field related chores, from slicing to chopping and other task. The drop point design provides a robust tip for piercing and cutting, while the curved edge allows for precise slicing and skinning. The blade is held in place via a classic liner lock, a simple and proven mechanism on outdoor hard use pocketknives. The Brisk 2.0’s blade is finished with a black oxide finish and has a thumb stud to make it easier to open the blade with one hand.

Besides black, these Zytel knife handles are also available in RealTree Edge, Realtree Edge Pink and Realtree Edge Teal camo finishes.
