The Antonini Knives Old Bear Classical Medium Walnut Serrated is a timeless folding knife designed for those who appreciate the elegance of traditional tools with the added functionality of modern performance. Handcrafted in Italy with care and precision, this knife embodies the beauty of simplicity while delivering exceptional daily utility. Whether you’re slicing through rope, cordage, or heavy-duty packaging, this knife is ready to perform with efficiency and grace.
Its 3.15-inch clip point blade is forged from W 1.4060 stainless steel, a trusted steel known for its corrosion resistance, ease of maintenance, and reliability in daily use. The blade features a clean satin finish that not only adds a classic touch but also reduces glare and resists scratches. Unlike its plain-edged counterpart, this version is fully serrated, offering an aggressive edge ideal for tougher materials that require a more toothy bite. It excels in tasks where a standard edge might falter, making it a practical choice for both work and everyday carry.
Opening is done with a traditional nail nick, staying true to its old-world roots while keeping the design refreshingly simple. What truly sets this knife apart is Antonini’s patented ring lock system. Made from brass and positioned at the base of the blade, the rotating ring securely locks the blade in both the open and closed positions. It’s a safe, time-tested mechanism that adds durability without relying on springs or liners. Easy to operate and built to last, the ring lock ensures your blade stays where it should—whether in action or tucked away.
The handle is crafted from American walnut wood, offering a rich, warm tone and natural grain that makes each knife unique. Lightly polished to enhance its appearance and texture, the walnut feels smooth yet solid in the hand. Its ergonomic shape provides a comfortable grip for extended use, while the natural wood adds an earthy, classic feel that complements the knife’s minimalist design.
Measuring 4.33 inches closed and weighing only 1.31 ounces, the Old Bear Walnut Serrated is incredibly pocket-friendly and ideal for anyone who prefers to travel light without sacrificing performance. Opened, it spans 7.48 inches—long enough for full control, yet still compact enough for discreet carry. Whether you’re on the trail, around the workshop, or at home, it’s a trusty companion for cutting tasks of all kinds.
This knife is more than just a tool—it’s a connection to the past, a nod to the heritage of fine knife making, and a reflection of the value of craftsmanship in a fast-moving world. It performs with the quiet reliability of a knife built to be used and admired, day after day.
