The Antonini Old Bear Ring Lock Folding Knife Olive Wood Serrated Small blends traditional Italian craftsmanship with practical everyday cutting performance. Built in Maniago, Italy—one of the world’s historic centers of knife making—this classic folder carries forward generations of proven design while adding natural materials and functional updates that make it an excellent everyday companion.
The 2.76-inch clip point blade is crafted from 1.4060 stainless steel, a dependable alloy valued for its durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting cutting ability. Finished in clean satin, the blade offers a refined appearance while providing smooth cutting performance. The partially serrated edge adds extra bite for tougher materials, making it especially effective for cutting rope, fibrous materials, and heavy packaging. The clip point profile delivers a fine tip for precise work while the curved belly provides excellent slicing ability for daily tasks.
A traditional nail nick opener keeps the knife simple and reliable, allowing controlled manual deployment that stays true to its classic roots. Antonini’s patented rotating ring lock adds a unique layer of safety by securing the blade in both the open and closed positions. The brass locking collar rotates easily with the thumb, creating a dependable locking system that’s both elegant and practical.
The handle is crafted from beautifully grained olive wood, offering a warm natural feel and distinctive appearance. Each handle has its own unique grain pattern, giving every knife individual character while maintaining a comfortable, ergonomic grip. Measuring 3.94 inches closed and weighing just 1.55 ounces, the Small version carries easily in your pocket while staying ready for daily cutting tasks.
