The rich walnut handle combines natural beauty with durability, fitting comfortably in the hand for extended use.

This mechanism locks the blade securely in both the open and closed positions, giving you peace of mind whether working in the garden or carrying it on your person.

Every detail of this knife reflects meticulous craftsmanship. The adjustable Torx T8 pivot, treated with saline nitrocarburation, offers superior corrosion resistance and smooth blade action. The included dual-ended Torx T8 L-Key lets you fine-tune blade tension to your preference. The blade is subtly marked with the electrolytic “Old Bear” logo, a symbol of authenticity and Italian heritage.
