Bear Ops, the tactical brand of Bear & Son Cutlery specializing in blades designed for professional applications in military and law-enforcement roles, rolled out its new Bear Swipe IV Rescue Knife in 2019. This American-made pocket knife is purpose-built for the goal of providing enhanced performance while still retaining a compact, carry-ready size and weight for comfortable every day carry, all at a price today's budget-minded consumers can afford.

The Bear Ops Bear Swipe IV features a black-coated finish Sandvik-steel blade that deploys quickly using the integrated flipper and provides excellent cutting, carving, and piercing properties courtesy of a Tanto-style blade. The 14C28N steel used in the construction of this knife is known for its edge-retention qualities, making it a popular choice for high-end and custom knives designed for uses where maintaining a sharp edge through heavy use is a priority.

Slip-restraint handles on the Bear Ops Swipe IV are machined in scaled-black G10 and are ergonomically designed for a positive, comfortable grip and excellent blade control. This multipurpose knife also features a glass breaker, seatbelt cutter and a robust pocket clip. Lightweight and compact, the Bear Swipe IV Rescue Knife may be carried discreetly in pockets, attached to MOLLE gear or easily secured in packs.
