Bear & Son designed this “for rugged durability, high ergonomics, and versatile function”, according to their press release. The look definitely fits it into a category with other models that are meant for outdoor cooking, with the design intention of handling whatever else might come up when you’re outdoors.
They’re releasing two variations of the Professional Chopper:
- A white smooth bone handle
- A Micarta handle with G10 accents.
It also comes with what they’re calling a “plastic blade guard” but what most customers will likely call a sheath. Note that the guard doesn’t have anything for strapping to a belt or pack. This isn’t necessarily a hiking buddy, at least, not one you wear on your person.
It’s available now at the usual places. The MSRP is $160, but the actual price looks to be closer to $100.
