Antonini Old Bear Ring Lock Folding Knife Total Black Small 9303/17_MNN

The Antonini Old Bear Ring Lock Folding Knife Total Black Small delivers classic Italian craftsmanship in a compact, highly pocketable design built for everyday use. Made in Maniago, Italy—one of the world’s historic knife-making capitals—this traditional folder combines time-tested construction with a sleek modern finish. It’s a simple, hardworking knife designed to handle daily tasks with quiet confidence.

The 2.76-inch clip point blade is crafted from W 1.4060 stainless steel, a dependable alloy known for durability, corrosion resistance, and consistent cutting performance. A black PTFE coating gives the blade a bold, low-profile appearance while adding protection from moisture and wear. The clip point shape provides a fine tip for precise cutting and detailed work, while the curved belly delivers smooth slicing for everyday chores. Whether you’re opening packages, trimming cord, or tackling quick cutting jobs around the house or shop, this blade is built to perform.

The blade opens manually using a traditional nail nick, maintaining the knife’s classic character and simple operation. Antonini’s patented rotating ring lock adds an extra layer of safety by allowing the blade to be locked securely in both the open and closed positions. The brass collar rotates easily with the thumb, creating a reliable locking system that’s both functional and elegantly minimal.

The black laminated wood handle completes the knife’s striking “Total Black” appearance. Smoothly contoured for comfort, it offers a natural feel in hand while the wood grain gives each knife its own unique character. Measuring just 3.94 inches closed, the Small version is easy to slip into a pocket, pack, or tool pouch without adding bulk.
