The Antonini Old Bear Classical XS Walnut C67 is a compact folding knife built with the kind of honest craftsmanship that’s defined Italian cutlery for generations. Produced in Maniago, Italy by Antonini—makers of quality knives since 1925—this traditional folder blends heritage design with practical everyday function. Its clean lines, natural materials, and simple mechanics create a knife that feels timeless while remaining ready for daily tasks.
The 2.36-inch clip point blade is crafted from C67 carbon steel, a high-performance steel known for excellent sharpness, strength, and edge retention. Finished in satin, the blade has a clean, classic appearance that complements the knife’s traditional style. The clip point profile offers a fine tip for precise work while the curved edge handles slicing chores smoothly. Whether you’re opening packages, cutting fruit, or handling light utility work, the blade delivers dependable cutting performance in a compact size.
A traditional nail nick provides smooth, controlled manual opening that stays true to the knife’s old-world character. Antonini’s signature rotating ring lock adds a layer of safety by allowing the blade to be secured in the open position with a simple twist of the brass collar. The design is both elegant and practical, reflecting the enduring simplicity of classic European knife making.
The handle is crafted from rich American walnut wood, offering a warm, natural feel and distinctive grain patterns that give each knife its own personality. Smooth contours provide a comfortable grip while maintaining a slim profile that carries easily in the pocket. Measuring 3.54 inches closed and weighing just 1.23 ounces, this extra small folder is incredibly easy to carry without sacrificing usefulness.
