Bear OPS Introduces New RANCOR IV Pocketknives

Jacksonville, Alabama – Bear OPS, the professional-grade brand of knives produced by Bear & Son Cutlery, introduces new American-made pocketknives featuring premium materials and proven dependability for the tactical, defense-ready user. Expanding on the reliable RANCOR family of knives, Bear OPS adds two medium-sized models to the RANCOR lineup with the MC-500-AIBK-B and the MC-510-AIBK-B, plus two larger pocketknives, the MC-550-AIBK-B and the MC-560-AIBK-B.

The new Bear OPS RANCOR IV knives are available in two blade styles — a modified tanto-style blade and a classic drop-point style blade. Each comes standard with a professional, hand-sharpened edge and black epoxy powder coating. Every blade on the RANCOR IV knives are shaped from Sandvik 14C28N, a premium steel with high molecular strength that is corrosion-resistant, tough, and offers dependable edge retention. Bear OPS also includes precision ball bearing washers — a unique option not commonly found on similar knives in this class — to provide super-smooth blade deployment, every time.

To ensure a comfortable and secure grip, the RANCOR IV pocketknives include aluminum handles with texturing. Able to withstand hard use typical of first responder duties, these handles are lightweight to reduce field carry load and are easy to clean.

A durable pocket clip provides for tip-up carry and retention security deep in a pocket or while attached to a duty belt.
