Antonini Knives Old Bear Classical Pruning Knife Black Wood Satin Blade 9747/17_MNK

Crafted in the heart of Maniago, Italy—the legendary “City of Knives”—the Antonini Old Bear Classical Pruning Knife stands as a testament to the artistry and precision of Italian blade-making. Drawing from more than a century of experience, Antonini has created a knife that blends the rugged reliability of traditional farmers’ tools with the refined craftsmanship demanded by today’s users. This is more than just a garden knife; it’s a piece of Italian heritage built to perform and endure.

The 2.95-inch satin-finished stainless steel blade, forged from W 1.4060 steel, is expertly shaped in the time-honored pruner curve. This design makes it exceptionally effective for clean, precise cuts, whether you’re trimming delicate stems, harvesting herbs, or tackling tougher garden branches. Its plain edge ensures effortless slicing with minimal resistance, reducing plant damage and keeping your garden thriving. The 4.25-inch closed length makes it compact enough for easy pocket carry while offering a full, confident grip during use.

A black laminated wood handle provides both visual sophistication and robust durability, shaped to fit naturally in the hand for extended comfort. Complementing its traditional charm is the OT58 brass safety ring, treated with pickling and chemical nickel-plating, which forms the Old Bear’s hallmark slide-lock mechanism. This simple yet ingenious system locks the blade securely in both the open and closed positions, giving you added safety whether you’re working or carrying it.

Every component is built with care and longevity in mind. The adjustable Torx T8 pivot, treated with saline nitrocarburation, offers enhanced corrosion resistance and smooth blade action. An included dual-ended Torx T8 L-Key allows you to fine-tune blade tension to suit your personal preference—a thoughtful touch for those who value precision. The blade also bears the iconic electrolytic “Old Bear” logo, a subtle mark of authenticity and pride.

The Old Bear Classical Pruning Knife carries forward a legacy that began in the hands of shepherds, farmers, and craftsmen who relied on their knives daily. Its design remains free from unnecessary embellishments, focusing instead on honest utility, enduring strength, and timeless style. Whether you’re tending to an orchard, exploring the outdoors, or adding a distinctive piece to your collection, this knife delivers dependable performance with an unmistakable Italian soul.
