Wow, well, I know this thread is super old, but I just bought one of these and was doing some research on it, hoping to find that it’s not a fake of anything else. That whole “Bear” thing made me think of a Bear Grylls knife copy. It doesn’t appear to be so, however, from what I can tell. There’s just not much out there on it. I do worry, though, that this thread being so old and me just now buying one from one of those Chinese shopping sites, DHGate, is mine maybe a used one? New old stock? Or are they truly still producing these?
In any case, I got it a couple days ago and it appears of decent quality. The guard is clearly just glued on, so I’ll be careful around that piece. But it does seem to be of solid construction and one piece, thus a full tang knife. It came super sharp out of the box and I’m actually quite impressed. As I have been with every knife I buy from these questionable Chinese retailers.
I do my best not to knowingly but fakes, but I can’t know every independent knife brand out there, and I’ve gotten at least 1 that I now know is a fake. But as an overall, the quality of these Chinese made knives isn’t too bad, especially when considering how little they cost in comparison.
Anyway, I’m new to the forum and new to knife collecting. I’ve tried another forum but they have zero tolerance of purchasing from these sites. So it looks like maybe this place will work. Besides, I like flashlights as well and have a few of those. So maybe you fellas can aid me in my searches as I get back into them as well.
Well, some thread you may like here:
Many of us here on BLF have or are growing a collection of knives. Since we are BLFers, many of us have a fascination (and collection) of budget knives. No need really to define the category of “budget.” (A wise CPA once told me that each and every one of us consumers defines our own levels of poverty and luxury!) In fact, even that topic, like many of the topics surrounding budget knives, creates wonderfully productive discussion.
This new thread is owed solely to the origination and stewardsh…
I hope this hasn’t been brought up before, I searched I swear :*
Since I was a knife nut before I was a flash light nut, I wanna see your EDC blades!
Here is mine:

Coincidentally the search for the perfect EDC knife is what led me to flashlights!
Welcome to BLF!
