Bear & Son Transition Copperhead (GS249T) 2-Blade PocketKnife …
The Transition Series is a Limited Edition Set of 12 pocket knives with Genuine India Stag Horn handle material of 250 numbered pieces per pattern. Originally issued in 2010 and no longer in production.
This Pattern was designed in 2008 as a modification from Camillus Cutlery tooling, first produced in 2009. This is a German style Copperhead Pattern, this pattern was designed for those people that wanted to carry a Jack or Trapper Pattern, but wanted a very rounded comfortable carry knife. Bear & Son viewing the Copperhead as more of a trapper Pattern gave it an American twist with a full spey blade in honor of early American History.
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. What makes this Transition series special is these knives will be produced in the 25th year of knife making tradition by craftsman & women in Jacksonville. Some of these patterns date back to patterns that were made in 1986. Only 250 of each knife were produced. This makes this an extremely limited series that will see its collector’s value rise quickly. Each knife will come with a certificate of authenticity with some history of that pattern and the changing of the tang stamps.
