Antonini Knives Old Bear Classical XS Folding Knife Walnut 2.36in Blade 9307/15_LN

From the cobbled streets of Maniago, Italy, where generations of artisans have honed their craft, comes the Antonini Old Bear Classical XS Folding Knife—a testament to tradition, precision, and everyday functionality. This compact masterpiece captures the spirit of Italian cutlery heritage while meeting the demands of modern-day carry. Every detail reflects a commitment to quality, from its finely balanced proportions to the timeless materials that give it both beauty and resilience.

Measuring just 3.54 inches closed and weighing a mere 1.23 ounces, the Old Bear Classical XS is designed for those who appreciate a discreet yet dependable companion. Its 2.36-inch stainless steel clip-point blade, marked with the distinctive Old Bear logo through an electrolytic process, offers excellent cutting performance and a sharp, controlled point for precision work. Built for two-handed opening via a traditional nail nick, the blade embodies the elegance of simplicity while maintaining the reliability expected of a finely crafted pocket knife.

The handle, carved from natural walnut wood, is finished with a technical Vaseline oil treatment that enhances its grain and offers lasting resistance to moisture. Over time, it develops a warm, personal patina that tells its own story of use. At the heart of its secure design is the OT58 brass safety ring, a traditional slide-lock mechanism that keeps the blade firmly in place whether open or closed. This mechanism, rooted in old-world knife-making traditions, adds a level of safety and reliability that stands the test of time.

Attention to detail extends even to the adjustable Torx T8 pivot, treated for corrosion resistance and allowing the user to fine-tune blade tension with the included L-type Torx key. This level of customization ensures the knife performs exactly as you prefer, whether for delicate cutting tasks or light-duty utility work.

Made entirely in Maniago, the “City of Knives,” the Old Bear Classical XS Folding Knife is more than just a tool—it’s a piece of functional artistry. Its compact size and lightweight design make it perfect for everyday carry, yet its rich materials and thoughtful construction ensure it holds its place in any collection. For those who value craftsmanship, heritage, and practicality in a single, beautifully executed design, this knife delivers without compromise.
