MTech USA "Bear Claw" Hawkbill Pocket Knife | Designed by Jose Negron (JN-902)
Product Description
A Predator in Your Pocket.
Designed by renown knife maker Jose Negron, this MTech USA "Bear Claw" is a beast of a folder built for heavy duty cutting. The hawkbill (recurve) blade acts like a talon, pulling material into the cut rather than pushing it away. This makes it exceptionally effective for cutting rope, webbing, tough packaging, or for use as a self defense tool.
TAhe 3.5-inch stainless steel blade features a partially serrated edge for sawing through fibrous materials and is signed by Jose Negron himself.
It deploys with dual thumb studs and locks up tight with a sturdy liner lock. The handle is crafted from black anodized aluminum with machined slot cutouts to reduce weight without sacrificing strength. The ergonomic finger grooves ensure the knife stays secure and locked in your hand, even when performing pull-cuts.

Common Questions
What is a hawkbill blade used for?
The hawkbill (or talon) shape is designed to "grab" the material being cut. It is ideal for cutting rope, netting, linoleum, or pruning plants, as the curve prevents the object from slipping off the tip.
Is the MTech JN-902 spring assisted?
No, this is a manual folding knife. It uses dual thumb studs for smooth, one-handed opening but does not have a spring mechanism.
