Antonini Knives Old Bear Classical Total Black Folding Knife - Xtra Small 9303/15_MNK

In the heart of Maniago, Italy, where fine blades have been crafted for nearly a century, the Antonini Old Bear Classical Total Black Folding Knife in Extra Small emerges as a perfect blend of heritage and modern design. This knife isn’t just a compact cutting tool—it’s a statement piece that merges timeless Italian craftsmanship with sleek, contemporary styling. Designed for those who value functionality without sacrificing elegance, it’s the ideal everyday carry for discreet yet reliable performance.

The 2.36-inch clip point blade, forged from stainless steel W 1.4060, is finished with a black PTFE coating that offers more than just visual appeal. This specialized treatment reduces friction for smoother cutting, improves corrosion resistance, and gives the blade a low-reflective, tactical finish. Opening is a simple, controlled process using the traditional two-handed nail nick method, a nod to old-world knife handling. For safety and dependability, Antonini equips this model with their OT58 brass safety ring—nickel-plated for enhanced wear resistance—allowing the blade to be securely locked in both the open and closed positions.

The handle, carved from black laminated wood, offers a warm, organic grip that feels secure in the hand while maintaining a minimalist, refined look. Measuring just 3.54 inches closed and weighing a mere 1.06 ounces, the Old Bear Classical Total Black is effortless to carry in a pocket, travel kit, or as a backup knife in your gear. Built for longevity, its adjustable Torx T8 pivot undergoes saline nitrocarburation and post-oxidation treatment to resist wear, and Antonini includes a dual-ended Torx T8 L-type key for at-home adjustments.

The Old Bear series draws inspiration from the classic folding knives carried for generations by farmers, hunters, and craftsmen across Europe. Antonini preserves this vintage appeal while upgrading it for modern use—offering advanced locking systems, premium blade steels, and durable finishes. The Total Black edition adds a bold, contemporary edge to the iconic silhouette, delivering a knife that’s as functional in the field as it is striking in the hand. For those who appreciate compact versatility and a touch of Italian style, this folding knife is a testament to tradition reimagined for today’s world.
