Bear & Son Silver Vein Damascus Steel Butterfly Knife

Damascus Butterfly Knife

The Bear & Son BC114D is a butterfly knife, also called a balisong: a folding knife whose two handles swing around the blade tang and close over the edge from both sides. This version pairs a Damascus steel blade with handles in Bear & Son's Silver Vein finish, a black base flecked with silver. It suits collectors who want a patterned blade and enthusiasts who practice opening and closing tricks, often called flipping.

Features

• Damascus Steel Blade — The blade shows the flowing, wood-grain pattern Damascus is known for, produced by layering and folding different steels together.
• Clip-Style Point — The spine runs straight before dropping toward a fine point, and a plain edge runs the full length of the blade.
• Silver Vein Handle Finish — Both handles carry a speckled black-and-silver finish that matches the textured look of the Damascus blade.
• Slotted Handle Design — Rows of oval cutouts run along each handle and give the knife its open, skeletonized profile.
• Pinned Pivot Construction — Brass-colored pins at the pivots connect each handle to the tang so both rotate freely around the blade.
• End Latch — A latch at the butt locks the two handles together when the knife is closed, keeping the edge covered.
• Kicker On The Tang — A shaped projection at the base of the blade keeps the edge from striking the inside of the handles when the knife closes.
• Model BC114D — This is the Damascus variant of Bear & Son's Silver Vein butterfly knife line.

Build And Handling

Bear and Son Cutlery built this balisong in the traditional channel layout, with the blade tang riding between two pinned handles. The weight and balance of a butterfly knife change once it is open, so new owners usually practice slowly with the latch secured before attempting faster movements. Butterfly knives are restricted or prohibited in some states and cities, so check the laws where you live and carry before you buy.
