There are certain sounds that illicit guttural responses.
Something else in this category is the opening of an automatic knife.
One of my favorite automatic knife suppliers is Bear OPS.
Bear OPS is a division of Bear & Son Cutlery based in Alabama.
Bear OPS was launched in 2011 to focus on tactical and survival knives made here in the United States.
Bear OPS makes sure the extra steps of hand refinements and inspections are performed before a knife ships out.
Bold Actions?
The Bear OPS Bold Action AC-300 features a lightning fast-opening 3.25 Sandvik 14C28N stainless stiletto-pattern blade.
Black aluminum surrounds the blade, spring and locking mechanism.
Weight is a mere 4.3 oz.
A safety lock and pocket clip finishes the package.
The AC-300s stiletto-like blade is ideal for thrusting/piercing.
However, the AC-300 can still serve as a utilitarian folder thanks to its razor-sharp edge.
A high corrosion resistance also lends itself to everyday pocket carry.
The knife combines a sharp stabbing point with a razor-sharp blade.
The Bear OPS AC300s blade design maximizes damage as it penetrates, forcing apart the medium being pierced.
This allows the knife to perform effectively even through heavy clothing.
With this said, the slashing/cutting abilities of the AC300s blade should not be dismissed.
The Draw
The Bear OPS AC-300s automatic function sexiness will appeal to many on its own.
However, the Bear OPS AC300 stands on its own merits even if it werent an automatic.
It offers real substance in terms of deployment and use.
Every opportunity to slice meat or plunge blade into a ham or roast was taken.
However, this gives a feel for a blade being used.
More mundane tasks such as rope cutting, opening boxes and so on were also performed.
Every effort was made to carry and deploy the Bear OPS AC300 as much as possible.
