Bear OPS Announces New Kimura Butterfly

From Bear OPS

Bear OPS, the professional-grade brand of knives produced by Bear & Son Cutlery, introduces a new famed Kimura butterfly knife with natural G10, the model BCC907.

Bear OPS worked with Bradley Cutlery Co.—designer and distributor of the original Kimura butterfly— to design the new Kimura butterfly knives and bring the legendary name back to market. New for 2020, Bear OPS releases the BCC907, the same quality, design and smooth flipping action the Kimura is known for, but with new natural G10 handles.

This Kimura Butterfly features a tough, 3 3/4-inch 154CM steel blade with a 58-60 Rockwell hardness, exquisite bead-blast finish, and a sturdy taper-ground edge. The handles are stainless steel 3d milled and contoured natural G10 handles for a positive ergonomic grip. Premium pivot bearings ensure smooth, “no slop” deployment from a 5 3/8-inch closed to 9-inch open length. A matching stainless-steel T-latch keeps the Kimura secure in its closed or open positions. Total weight is 6.1 ounces.
