Ebay pick-up - Bear Bone Stag Folder.

[mqqn]

Hi folks -

I wanted to share some pictures of a nice knife I picked up on ebay.

A little background - one of my buddies at work has a small lockback folding knife with a clip point blade and stainless handles with Bear MGC stamped on the tang (along with some dots presumably for dating the knife).

Think a small knife that looks just like a Buck 110 (one of my favorite designs).

My friends small knife sparked my interest and I bid on what appeared to be a similar knife on ebay, although the handles were bone stag.

I bid a reasonable $27 bid and wound up winning the knife.

I was VERY pleased when I received the knife this evening, it's a real beaut! \

If anyone has any info on the company and or how to date these knives using the dots, I would appreciate your comments.

It also came with this sheath -

Very Nice- Bear MGC is an often overlooked brand that is well made and worth more than you pay. Good score

Very nice knife. The handles look great and the sheath is a bit plus.

Thank you, Gentlemen.

I believe this was made in either 2005 or 1995. Either way, it is like new with no marks on the bolsters or blade, never sharpened, and the sheath was never used on a belt.

It will be a nice gift for someone or a nice one to keep and carry occasionally.

Thanks for the comments -

best regards -
