At its core is a 2.36-inch W 1.4028 stainless steel clip point blade, featuring a fully serrated edge designed to tackle tougher cutting jobs with ease.

The satin finish lends the blade a clean, classic look while reducing glare and highlighting the blade’s elegant lines. A traditional nail nick provides smooth, precise opening, ensuring you can deploy the blade quickly and reliably when you need it.
The bolster ring lock system is a hallmark of the Old Bear series, combining aesthetic refinement with robust security. This reliable lock keeps the blade firmly in place during use, giving you peace of mind and confidence in every cut. The bolster adds a polished touch to the design, framing the blade with a subtle shine that contrasts beautifully with the natural olive wood handle.
Measuring 3.55 inches closed and 5.91 inches overall when open, this extra-small knife offers exceptional portability without sacrificing comfort or control. Weighing just 1.16 ounces, it’s lightweight enough to carry all day without notice, yet solid enough to feel balanced and capable in hand.
