Lightweight at just over an ounce, it balances traditional design with modern safety and comfort, making it an ideal carry for professionals who value heritage, precision, and style. ## Description Celebrating 90 years of manufacturing fine knives, Antonini has created this special handcrafted knife. Beautifully hand-shaped and sharpened, the handle, collar and blade represent the best of traditional design and materials. What really sets this knife apart is Antonini's use of the unique patented Lupo collar lock. Inside the brass collar is a sliding lock safely holding the blade in place both opened and closed. This is a great opportunity to own a piece of traditional Italian craftsmanship from the "City of Knives", Maniago, Italy.Weight: 32grams - 1.13ounceBlade: 70mm - 2.75"Overall: 170mm - 6.75"Closed: 100mm - 4.0"Steel: Hardened AISI 420 HRC 54/56Finish: PolishedHandle: Aged, oiled WalnutLock: "Lupo" Safety RingFasteners: Brass Bolster Review: Just like an Opinel, but different - I'm holding a Small "Old Bear" and an Opinel #6, so it's easy to compare the two. Size: The blades are exactly the same length, and almost identical in shape, but the Old Bear's handle is significantly bigger. The Old Bear's ferrule (the metal part that surrounds the hinge) is about 1 millimeter bigger, and, more importantly, the Old Bear's handle is about a half-inch (1 centimeter) longer. So the Old Bear will sit a little bigger in your pocket. The Opinel is invisible in my pocket, so I'm not sure this matters much. Folks with big hands may prefer the larger Old Bear handle. Both weigh almost nothing. Blade lock: The Old Bear's is much easier to use, but sticks out more from the body of the knife. In real life, I don't think this matters much, either. A slight edge in ease-of use versus a slight edge in slimness. A tie. Finish: No question, the Opinel is finished better. The handle is smoother, and is finished with some kind of varnish or shellac. The Old Bear's handle doesn't seem to have any finish at all, just sanded wood. Taking the Old Bear out of the box and handling it as you would in use, it has more rough edges, both on the wood and the metal parts, than the Opinel. Do I care? No. I took care of the wood with 3 minutes of sanding with 400 sandpaper. The metal parts have some slight flash, but it would come off with another 3 minutes of sandpaper, or a year of use. If you wanted to, you could easily take care of the extra centimeter on the handle with a file, and more sandpaper work. I'm refinishing some furniture at the moment, so I think I might put some dark walnut stain and a little tung oil on the handle. Sharpness: As they come out of the box, neither of these will shave the hair on your arm, but both will cut 20lb copy paper easily. So, both are perfectly fine for opening envelopes, or desertcart boxes, or cutting twine. You can sharpen them if you're looking for razor sharpness. So overall a tie. The Opinel is a little better finished, the Old Bear may be a little easier to use and a little more comfortable for people with larger hands. If you want a finished inexpensive knife to throw in your pocket out of the box, get the Opinel. If you'd like a slightly larger handle, or an easier blade lock, or would like to do a little customization, get the Old Bear. And they both get five stars, taking price in to account. You can get a nicer knife for $75, but then you'll be sadder when you lose it. Review: Opinel watchout! - This knife is great. Affordable and functions well. Been the same style for 125yrs. Don't get worried about the low price. It has upgraded wood and a sturdy collar mechanism. I have two and now gift them to friends. ## Features - Overall length: 6.75" open, 4.0" closed - Blade: 2.75", AISI 420 hardened stainless steel - Handle: Aged, oiled walnut, hand-brushed brass collar - Lock: exclusive 'Lupo' collar lock, both opened and closed - Handcrafted in Maniago, Italy by A.

Been the same style for 125yrs. Don't get worried about the low price. It has upgraded wood and a sturdy collar mechanism. I have two and now gift them to friends. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Something a little more refinel for Opinel fans. *by H***E on October 19, 2017* If you like Opinel knives, this Antonini Old Bear will probably appeal to you. Like an Opinel, the Old Bear is a friction folder, with a wood handle, a metal bolster, and a lock ring tha will prevent the blade from closing or opening. The handle is walnut, the bolster is brass, and the lock ring rides inside the bolster instead of outside. It is available in small, medium, and large sizes. My first one was the medium, about the same size as a No. 8 Opinel, and a bit larger than I like to carry. The small Old Bear is about the same size as the Opinel 7. My preference for pocket carry is the 6. Out of the box, the Antoninis carry a bit better than Opinels, because the pommel lacks the Opinels’ signature flared profile that makes them a bit of a lump in the pocket. You could still slim the handle with sandpaper, but this knife does not cry out for it the way an Opinel does. The internal lock ring is a nifty variation, as is can be operated with the thumb alone, where the Opinel ring takes two fingers. The blade is stainless, and comes pretty sharp out of the box. You will probably want to sharpen it yourself, or else buy it from Baryonyx Knife Co., and pay a couple of bucks for their Special Grade blade treatment. Unfortunately, last time I looked, Baryonyx carried only the two larger sizes. I had to look elsewhere to find the small size. ## Frequently Bought Together - Antonini Old Bear Knife, Small - Old Bear ANT930619LN Md Classical Carbon Walnut, Brown --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/47291371-old-bear-s-antonini-01ob004-old-bear-s-knife](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/47291371-old-bear-s-antonini-01ob004-old-bear-s-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
