Jacksonville, Alabama – As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Bear & Son Cutlery introduces the new limited-edition Bear OPS Nekama™ Pin-Up Bomber Knife Series, a tribute to the spirit, patriotism, and individuality of "The Greatest Generation." Inspired by the iconic nose art and pin-up artwork displayed on World War II bombers and fighter aircraft, this collector-focused series blends American history with modern everyday carry performance.
Manufactured in Alabama, the Nekama™ platform was selected for its aggressive styling, practical performance, and premium features typically found on higher-priced folders. Each knife features authentic WWII-inspired pin-up artwork applied through a specialized UV printing process designed to complement the knife's aluminum handles and tactical profile. The artwork reflects the bold color palettes, patriotic themes, and hand-painted character that became legendary among wartime aircrews.
Created for collectors and everyday users alike, the Nekama™ features a 3 1/2-inch modified tanto blade crafted from Sandvik 14C28N steel, precision ball bearings for smooth deployment, ambidextrous controls, a slide lock design, and a lightweight 3.1-ounce build. With an overall length of 8 inches, the knife delivers dependable EDC performance with unmistakable American character.
