Bear & Son Cb17 Butterfly Knife
Step into the world of precision flipping and timeless craftsmanship with the Bear & Son CB17 Butterfly Knife. Born in 1991 in rural Alabama, Bear & Son Cutlery began as a family’s passion project and has grown into a celebrated American knife maker. Founded by Ken Griffey, this tight-knit team treats every blade as a labor of love—hand-grinding, hand-finishing, and assembling each component under one roof. Their steadfast commitment? To produce heirloom-quality knives you can actually afford and stand behind for life.
The CB17 is proof that exceptional performance doesn’t demand an extravagant price tag. When you flick open its satin-black titanium-finish 440 stainless steel blade, you’ll immediately appreciate the razor-sharp edge and flawless balance. At 4-1/8″ long, the drop-point blade handles everyday tasks and flipping tricks with equal finesse. Its cocobolo wood handles, enriched by lustrous nickel silver bolsters, offer a warm, ergonomic grip that feels almost sculpted to your palm. Every twist, tap and wrist roll is met with smooth, click-perfect action—no rattles, no wobble, just pure flipping fun.
Beyond its eye-catching aesthetics, the CB17 is built to endure. 440 stainless steel fights corrosion, holds a keen edge, and resists wear, while the dense hardwood handles shrug off shocks and impacts. At a compact 5″ closed length, it slips into your pocket or pouch without weighing you down, yet flips open to a commanding 9-3/8″ total span. Whether you’re a collector chasing top-shelf quality, a flipper mastering new moves, or someone who simply values a reliable everyday carry, this butterfly knife delivers.
Bear & Son doesn’t just sell knives—they promise them. Every CB17 comes backed by a lifetime warranty, ensuring you flip, slice, and showcase with total confidence. Proudly made in the USA, each knife carries the spirit of American ingenuity and family pride. Ready to elevate your knife game? The CB17 is waiting.
