The Antonini Old Bear Folding Medium Electrician Knife is a purpose-built tool designed for both everyday carry and specialized utility work. Crafted in Maniago, Italy, by the expert artisans at Antonini srl, this knife combines traditional Italian craftsmanship with practical functionality. Its walnut wood handle and satin-finished stainless steel blade make it both visually appealing and highly reliable for professionals, hobbyists, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

The blade measures 80 mm (3.15 in.) in length, 17 mm in height, and 2.0 mm in thickness, providing a precise and versatile cutting edge. Constructed from high-quality stainless steel W 1.4060, it undergoes tempering with cryogenic treatment and hardening to achieve a Rockwell hardness of 58 HRC ±1, ensuring excellent durability and edge retention. The drop point design offers controlled slicing and piercing capabilities, while the integrated wire scrapers make it a practical tool for electricians and technicians, capable of handling stripping and scraping tasks efficiently. Each blade is artisanally sharpened and deburred by hand, and marked on the front with the “Old Bear” logo via electrolytic engraving.

The walnut handle is ergonomically shaped to provide a comfortable grip and is treated with technical vaseline oil to enhance durability and resist moisture while showcasing the natural grain of the wood. The knife features an OT58 brass safety ring that locks the blade securely in both open and closed positions. The brass ring undergoes pickling, de-leading, and passivation treatments for smooth operation and corrosion resistance.

Blade deployment requires two hands using the traditional nail nick, maintaining the classic folding knife experience. The pivot is adjustable via a Torx T8 system treated with saline nitrocarburation and post-oxidation for strength and longevity. The knife also includes an L-Type Torx T8 key for maintenance, ensuring it remains precise and reliable through extended use.

Weighing 47 grams (1.66 oz.) unpackaged and 62 grams (2.19 oz.) boxed, this medium-sized knife measures 110 mm (4.33 in.) closed and 190 mm (7.48 in.) overall.
