Antonini Old Bear Laminated Blue, Satin Stainless knife (9307/23_MBK)

9307/23_MBK compact, lightweight folder with simple, ergonomic lines with a distinctive locking blade - an Italian exclusive equivalent of the Opinel knife. An ideal knife for lovers of classic design.

A line of luxury folding knives made by hand. Classic Old Bear® are knives without a spring, which means that the blade is secured by a locking system containing a special ring that holds the blade in an open or closed position (patented with number 1187282, in 1985 by Todesco of Maniago). At the moment, Old Bear knives are available in four sizes - S (17 cm - 6 3/4"), M (19 cm - 7 ½"), L (21 cm - 8¼") and XL (23 cm - 9"). The knife's wedge features the Old Bear® brand logo and the knife itself is housed in a fashionable old-school and personalized cardboard box - the perfect gift for those living in harmony with nature.

AISI 420 (American Iron and Steel Institute) - martensitic stainless steel rich in carbon 0.15% and containing min. 12% chromium. In the annealed state, it has good ductility and excellent corrosion resistance. The AISI 420 grade has the highest chromium content of all stainless steels, 12-14%, and a hardness in the 52 -56 HRC range.

Blade - with Clip Point profile, 2.0 mm thick. Plain type blade, was derived with a full flat grind, which, combined with the slight thickness of the blade, provides above-average cutting properties. The knife is opened with a notch on the wedge (Nail Nick). The blade has been finished with an elegant satin finish.

Handle - straight, made of a single piece of laminated wood with a beautiful deep blue color. Ergonomic profiling of the grip does not cause fatigue during prolonged use. Easy to use patented lock - a metal fixed safety ring - located in the brass handle ferrule allows you to lock the knife with one hand, even when wearing gloves.
