Bear Edge Knives, a Bear & Son Cutlery brand, has added two minimal-frame lock knives to this year’s product line with the Bear Edge 71526 and the 71527.
These compact pocket knives reduce carry weight while offering a durable and razor-sharp cutting edge, according to Bear. They are well suited for outdoor adventurers, backpackers, hunters, and anyone who requires minimal gear weight with maximum gear performance.
The Bear Edge Minimal Frame Lock features a long, spear point-style 440 high carbon stainless steel blade that is rugged enough to tackle common chores on the trail. The blade material is tough yet easy to sharpen and resists rust. Deploying the knife blade is simple thanks to ambidextrous thumb studs, according to a Bear press release. Also, the stainless-steel frame locking mechanism ensures the blade stays locked firmly in place.

While featuring a minimalist profile, these knives are remarkably comfortable in the hand and easily controlled thanks to their textured G10 scaled handles.
Storing the Bear Edge Minimal Frame Lock is a snap with the unique fold-away carabiner. This mechanism allows the lightweight knife to clip onto a belt loop, purse, or backpack for quick and hassle-free transport.
