Cold Steel San Mai® Black Bear Classic

This classic sub-hilt design was originally developed by Bob Loveless, one of the founding members of the knifemaker’s guild, and is widely regarded as a benchmark in modern knife making. With its 8” blade crafted from VG-10 San Mai III® steel, the Black Bear Classic combines durability, precision, and balance. The double-ground blade is expertly heat-treated and polished to a satin finish, with edges honed to exceptional sharpness. The sub-hilt handle design provides a secure and confident grip, adding comfort and control during use. Black G10 scales are hand-shaped, contoured, and secured with six stainless pins, showcasing both strength and craftsmanship. A refined piece of knife-making heritage, the Black Bear Classic is prized by collectors and enthusiasts for its blend of performance, quality materials, and timeless design.
