Antonini Knives Old Bear Classical Total Black Folding Knife - Small 9303/17_MNK

In the hills of Maniago, Italy, where knife-making is more than a craft and closer to a heritage, Antonini has been forging exceptional blades for nearly a century. The Old Bear Classical Total Black Folding Knife – Small is a testament to this enduring tradition. Inspired by the simple yet reliable working knives carried by shepherds, farmers, and outdoorsmen, this modern iteration captures that timeless utility while embracing a striking, contemporary all-black finish. Every detail is designed with both form and function in mind, making it as much a tool as it is a piece of Italian artistry.

The 2.76-inch clip point blade is crafted from W 1.4060 stainless steel, chosen for its proven strength and corrosion resistance. A PTFE black coating not only enhances its sleek, stealth-like aesthetic but also reduces friction for smooth cutting performance. The opening is a deliberate two-hand operation with a nail nick, giving you controlled handling in any situation. Once deployed, the blade locks securely in place with Antonini’s patented slide-lock safety ring — a mechanism trusted by knife enthusiasts worldwide for its reliability and simplicity.

Equally impressive is the handle, made from black laminated wood and treated with technical Vaseline oil to resist moisture and provide a smooth, confident grip. Brass hardware with nickel plating and a Torx T8 adjustable pivot treated through saline nitrocarburation ensures durability over years of use. The knife also includes a dual-ended L-type Torx T8 key, allowing you to make precise adjustments to suit your preference.

Compact in size with a closed length of just 3.74 inches, this knife slips easily into your pocket, making it ideal for everyday carry. It’s light enough to forget it’s there until you need it, yet strong enough to handle daily tasks with ease. The Total Black edition offers more than a bold, modern appearance — it provides an added layer of protection against wear, ensuring the knife looks as sharp as it performs.

Whether you’re a seasoned outdoorsman, a dedicated collector, or simply someone who values the marriage of beauty and functionality in a tool, the Antonini Old Bear Classical Total Black Folding Knife delivers a piece of authentic Italian craftsmanship built for the present and ready for the future.
