Bear OPS, the tactical division of Bear & Son Cutlery, will showcase its latest lineup of high-performance knives at the 2025 BLADE Show, June 6–8 at Booth #5 in the Cobb Galleria, Atlanta, GA. Known for precision, durability, and American craftsmanship, Bear OPS specializes in knives for military, law enforcement, and tactical use.
Headlining this year is the all-new NEKAMA I, a premium pocketknife featuring a 3 1/4" Sandvik 14C28N modified tanto blade, ideal for hard-use cutting tasks. Precision ball bearings and ambidextrous thumb studs deliver smooth, one-handed deployment. Its lightweight aluminum handle is available in two sleek options: black with orange accents (MC-1000-ALBK-B) or grey with blue accents (MC-1000-ALGY-S) —both with a slide lock and reversible pocket clip.
Also debuting is the KATAKT? Series, expanding Bear OPS’ EDC lineup. The KATAKT? I offers a black M390 drop point blade, green G10 handles, and bronze ball-bearing washers. The KATAKT? II features lightweight black aluminum handles, M390 blades straight (AC-2100-ALBK-B) and serrated (AC-2100-ALBK-BSR), orange accent details, and a rugged, slide lock design. Rounding out the series, the KATAKT? III combines FDE aluminum handles with a reverse tanto M390 blade in straight (AC-2200-ALDE-B) or serrated edge (AC-2200-ALDE-BSR) options, plus tactical hardware and smooth deployment.
Designed for real-world performance and modern style, the Bear OPS KATAKT? series delivers versatility across tactical and everyday applications.
