Knife question - Bear M.G.C?

[Gil Verwey]

I picked up a damascus steel big bowie knife. It is made by Bear M.G.C.

It seems like a good quality knife. Has anyone ever heard of them? I was going to put this question on the knife thread but you can only discuss knives made by our Tradgang members there.

I thought I would try here to see if anyone has heard of them before.

Thanks
Gil

. I believe it was once Bear and Sons. They are out of Alabama. I got a small skinner as a gift last year. Pretty good looks and has held up well. I think they are a pretty good knife

I've had a lock blade pocket knife from them for around 10 years and it has been good.

i heard it was a start-up company that was made up of guys from shrade usa[could be mistaken?]
the knife i had was top notch

I believe it was guys from Gerber. They are good knives for the money.
