Antonini Old Bear Olive Stainless Folding Knife Reviews

5 Rating 1 Reviews
Read Heinnie Haynes Reviews

On the occasion of Antonini's 90th birthday, the Antonini Old Bear Olive series was created. This series represents a compelling interpretation of the classic utility pocketknife. The best feature of the knives are the wooden handles, which carry the traditional locking mechanism. A rotating ring inserted into the brass collar secures the blade in the deployed as well as closed position. As the active partner for this project, Todesco (Maniago/Italy) had already patented this mechanism in 1985 as a lock for pocket knives.
The straight forward handling and exceedingly classic look of this traditional pocket knife with Olive wood scales in combination with the affordable price make the Old Bear a more than attractive purchase. Made in Italy.

Initial impression: Small Old Bear is most similar in size to Opinel No 7. It is solid, beautifully made and as sharp as could be. Immediately prefer the locking mechanism over Opinel. Love the hefty brass collar. Thumb stud easily moved with one hand. Whereas, in my experience, Opinel twist collar has tendency to either get quite stiff or too loose over time. I have/had six Opinels and they are very good quality and beautiful things too.I reckon Old Bear to be better value than the cheaper Opinel equivalent. Heinnie delivered this item just before I decided to order it. Wizard! None better.
