The Birth of Legendary Old Bear Knives

As the legend goes, early settlers started to scorch the forest land a long time ago, searching for a new home. The old bear family didn't like the interference in the peaceful forest life. So he began to destroy everything the settlers brought with them.

The old Bear attacked the substantial timber house with his strong paws, destroying the shelter into rubbles. But before he could tear apart everything, he saw a small child that has been left alone by a running family. The child was crying, piercing the forest's silence.

The old Bear moved slowly toward the kid. The child was not afraid of his big claws, and when the Bear approached, the kid touched his gentle fur. The encounter of child and old Bear resulted in a very emotional response instead of attacking.  The old Bear was moved with his innocence and bold gesture.

Old Bear's heart melted. He lifted the child in his warm, embracing hug. It was the time when the epic friendship of old Bear and child began. The child, over the years, grew up a strong and healthy young man, just like his furry friend. The forest became his new home. First, he mastered the forest's secrets, the wildlife, and hunting tools. Then, with the help of his everlasting friend, he crafted his own survival tools.

One day while traveling to the jungle, the old Bear found a shiny piece of Iron. He gifted the iron piece and a solid wood plank to his human friend. With the help of his giant friend, the child created an astonishing knife that was suitable for all his adventurous journey in the wild. The everlasting blade became the constant companion of the young man.

With the exact curiosity of this young child, the Old Bear line of knives is handcrafted for perfection. Each Old Bear folding knife is handcrafted for long-lasting performance in any situation.
