The Bear and Son 7116HB is a compact slip‑joint folding knife engineered for controlled cutting and everyday utility in a lightweight, belt‑ready format. The hawkbill blade measures 2.75 inches in length and is manufactured from high carbon stainless steel with a satin finish, providing reliable corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and strong edge retention for carving, pull cuts, and precision work. Overall length measures approximately 5.47 inches with a closed length of 3.75 inches, supporting efficient carry and quick access while maintaining a balanced cutting profile.

The handle is constructed from durable Zytel to reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity, with an integrated bail loop that allows secure attachment to a tool belt, lanyard, or gear hook. A traditional slip‑joint mechanism enables smooth opening and closing, supported by a nail nick for controlled manual deployment. Weighing approximately 2.1 ounces, the design prioritizes portability and ease of handling, making it well suited for trades, utility work, and general everyday carry where compact reliability and precise cutting control are essential.
