Bear & Son is the only commercial knife manufacturer offering knives with Damascus blades. And it’s a very special 416-layer, high-definition Damascus steel, made in Alabama. It combines steels of different properties to produce blades with extraordinary toughness and edge-holding ability.
Beyond their distinctive look, Damascus blades have unique qualities that set them apart from other steels. The cutting edge has tiny saw-tooth carbides, formed by forging in a coal fire. This enables the blade to cut even when it feels dull to the touch. Every piece of Damascus steel is as unique as a thumbprint.

Bone Crushing Performance!
This is the ammunition line that started it all! In 1982, Peter Pi, Sr. began making custom hunting bullets for people making the trek to Africa to hunt the big five with a handgun. At that time, there were no bullets available to stand up to the heavy hides, dense, thick muscle and large, heavy bones in those animals. Working in the garage of the family’s auto parts store, Peter experimented with different designs and loads to develop a bonded bullet either in JHP or JSP as well as a hardcast round. He also created a copper jacketed penetrator bullet that was designed with a heavy copper jacket and a hard linotype core.
id="attachment_2003" align="alignnone" width="500
The bonded jacketed soft and hollow points have proven themselves on some of the smaller to large game in Africa. The Penetrator and Hard Cast loads, with their flat metplat cut a nice clean hole and have proven themselves on the largest of African game, including Cape Buffalo, rhinoceros and even elephant. While staying intact, these bullets will penetrate far enough to make sure they would take this very large game humanely.
The COR®BON Hunter line of ammunition has loads available for everything from coyote and whitetail deer to the largest North American game as well as the beasts of the Dark Continent. Available from 357 Magnum to the mighty 500 Magnum in handgun calibers and 300 Whisper to 500 Alaskan in rifle loads, COR®BON once again provides the greatest variety of calibers and loads available to help make your hunting trip a success.
