I gotta bump this thread. Some excellent photos and information from Chako here! Thank you, Chako.
I promised someone I'd post some of my Bear & Sons tools. I really like these tools, as they are made in the state that I live in. They are far from refined and perfect, but they are some of the last mostly hand-made multi-tools.
