Bear OPS Introduces the Nekema I Pocketknife

Bear OPS, the tactical knife division of Bear & Son Cutlery specializing in military and law enforcement gear, introduces the Nekema™ I Slidelock pocketknife, featuring a modern, robust design built for demanding situations.

The Bear OPS Nekema™ I is a premium everyday carry knife designed for versatility and reliability. The 3 1/4" Sandvik 14C28N blade delivers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, providing razor-sharp cutting performance with minimal maintenance. This knife also features a modified tanto blade profile to enhance its piercing strength while providing a robust cutting edge for daily tasks. Ball bearing washers and ambidextrous thumbstuds ensure ultra-smooth, one-handed deployment.

The slidelock mechanism ensures a secure and reliable blade lock-up, giving users confidence in every cut while the lightweight aluminum handle, available in sleek Black & Copper accents or Grey & Blue accents, offers a comfortable grip without adding unnecessary bulk.

A reversible pocket clip allows for tip-up carry for easy access while the lanyard hole provides additional attachment options.

As part of the trusted Bear OPS lineup, the Nekema™ I continues the brand’s commitment to American craftsmanship, dependable performance, and purpose-driven design.
