While Bear & Son produces some low cost, budget butterfly knives, their Bear OPS line steps it up with superior craftsmanship and premium materials. I’ve had my eye on the Bear Song VIII for years, waiting for the right sale—and at Blade Show, I finally scored both models for less than I’d seen them anywhere else, even during promotions or sales.

It features a spring-loaded latch on the bite handle and a removable pocket clip for everyday carry. The knife is available in various blade shapes and handle color.”
Flytanium: flytanium.com
I’ve collected quite a few Fat Carbon Flytanium carbon fiber knife scales, all scored online during deep discount sales. Most of what I buy is heavily discounted or on sale. I originally stopped by the Flytanium booth just to grab some stickers for my knife cases—but I walked away with two knives thanks to a tempting bundle deal.

Flytanium Zenith Trainer 2.0 Balisong Static Blue Handle
- Model No. FLY-1385
- T10, Bushing
- 7075 Aluminum Handles
- video
The Zenith Bali is a well-crafted balisong featuring smooth bushing construction, offering excellent quality at an accessible mid-range price point. I prefer live blades but don’t mind a quality beater Bali at a reasonable price.
Flytanium Arcade Lite Ocean Blue
- Demko Shark-Lock Technology
- AUS-10 A Drop Point Blade (3.2”)
- Ceramic Bearing Pivot
- video
The Arcade features the Demko Shark-Lock, and I own several Demko knives, along with a few others that use similar locking mechanisms – including the Maserin 373 W1-Lock. So of course I had to snag it.
