Hola Bear & Sons enthusiasts. Can anyone tell me what knife should be in a Custom Heritage Collection Limited Edition Series that has the the Number RGS6193T on the bottom. Tin says number 28 of 100 and it came with a five inch toothpick also 28 of 100. Seems to have a titanium coated blade and either stag or stag-bone scales. The real question I have is it stag or stag bone. Pictures to follow.

Iwill get around to taking my own even though they will not be as good as these. These came from the Ebay listing.

Despite the slight marring on the titanium finish, I think the knife was a steal at $32! The scratch seems to be from the blade rubbing. It appears unuised.

I have several Bear & Son and Bear MGC knives and have had no problems with the quality. I gave my son a Invincible Hunter and my son-in-law a yellow delrin Bird and Trout for Christmas. Got myself a 4 1/8 trapper. I also have a few of the wildlife series 5" lockbacks. I am wondering if they contracted for some Keen Kutter knives back 10 or so years ago also, as I have a couple that remind me of their work. Does anyone know?

Rob, I wish I could say the same. That said, they're large toothpicks have not let me down. I was also pleased with my Bear Sharpfinger knock-off. I was less impressed with some of the BSA knives made by Bear & Son.

I've also read mixed reviews of the Remington Boy Scout Scout Replicas made by Bear with one trusted colleague saying very negative things about their overall quality.

Ending on a positive note, I have one of their Balisongs that is simply a rock-solid joy at a very affordable price.
