The Muskrat style is a traditional slip joint pocket knife. It is double-ended with two clip-point blades that are typically the same size. The Muskrat is ideal for skinning small animals and was originally created prior to 1940 for trapping. The frames of Muskrat knives are often similar to Stockman patterned pocket knives, but with different blades. Comes with Collector Tin and documentation.
The Transition Series celebrates the change of Bear & Son tang stamp from 2009 to 2010. The new 2010 tang stamp shows 10 stars instead of the dots used in the last decade. The stars are a salute to our American made Tradition. This Series contains some great patterns made in the 24 years of knife making tradition in Jacksonville, Alabama.
