Bear OPS, the tactical division of Bear & Son Cutlery, has introduced the Nekema II, an everyday carry knife designed to meet the demands of concealed carry, tactical use, and hard daily wear. Made in the USA at the company’s Alabama facility, the Nekema II reflects the brand’s uncompromising approach to quality, performance, and reliability. The core of the knife is a 3.5-inch Sandvik 14C28N stainless-steel blade, offered with a modified drop-point profile. Known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening, 14C28N is an ideal steel for serious EDC users. A durable DLC coating further enhances corrosion resistance, minimizes glare, and protects against scratches in harsh environments. The lightweight aluminum handle keeps the knife slim, strong, and comfortable, weighing just 3.5 ounces for effortless allday carry. Precision features include ball-bearing washers for smooth deployment, dual thumb studs, Torx screw construction, and a secure slide-lock mechanism. A reversible pocket clip ensures adaptable carry options. The Nekema II is available in black and copper or gray and blue. SRP: $92.49—$97.49.
