Opis
The Old Bear World Italy L by Antonini is a classic folder that combines Italian craftsmanship with functionality to meet modern user needs. Inspired by more than a century of knifemaking tradition from Maniago, the series evokes the aesthetics of old models while offering modern materials and safe design solutions. The W.1.4060 Nitrogen stainless steel, used for the Blade, exhibits enhanced corrosion resistance thanks to its nitrogen content, and allows for easy sharpening and sharpness maintenance. A subtle satin finish gives the blade a subdued elegance and emphasizes its utilitarian character. The black laminated wood handle used on the model has been molded in a way that promotes ergonomics, and an insert in the colors of the Italian flag adds an individual touch to the design and emphasizes its origin. A key design element is the patented twist lock system, allowing the blade to be securely locked in both the open and closed positions. Antonini Old Bear Italy L is a knife for people who appreciate natural materials, simple style line and proven mechanics. It works well as an EDC knife, a collector’s gift or a practical accessory for anyone looking for a tool with soul.
Old Bear® Series – a line of luxury knives crafted and assembled by skilled artisans by subjecting all components to manual treatments and processes that make each knife unique. Old Bear are knives without a spring return, which means that the blade locking system is based on a solid safety ring that holds the blade in the open or closed position (patented under No. 1187282, in 1985 by Todesco of Maniago). The Old Bear® brand logo is etched on the wedge, and the knife itself is housed in a fashionably old-school and personalized cardboard box – the perfect gift for those living in harmony with nature.
1.4060 Nitrogen (MA5 / X35Cr16N) – martensitic nitrogen stainless steel with high hardness. A conventional stainless steel, MA5 steel (X35Cr16N standard AFNOR / 1.4060 standard Wnr) is similar to X46Cr13 steel. Its main advantage is that it offers excellent corrosion resistance, as well as better hardness after heat treatment. Hardness and strength are characteristics of the universal grade. Heat treatment of MA5 / X35Cr16N / 1.4060 steel makes it possible to achieve high hardness(up to 60 HRC), and at the same time it is resistant to aggressive marine environments.
Regular maintenance of 1.4060 stainless steel (MA5 / X35Cr16N) prevents the formation of deposits and maintains its luster. It also facilitates the removal of spots and tarnishes. Cleaning should be done before there is a visible layer of dirt or fingerprints, so the danger of permanent discoloration of the steel surface is minimized. Do not use cleaning agents that contain: chlorine, salt, acids and bleach.
Blade – used stainless steel W.1.4060 Nitrogen, enriched with nitrogen to increase resistance to rusting and improve cutting properties. The clip point profile offers good material penetration and precise guidance, especially for tasks requiring finesse. The flat grind used promotes cutting efficiency and ensures even force distribution along the working edge. The subtle satin finish emphasizes the classic character of the blade and reduces the visibility of traces of use. Thanks to these parameters, the Blade is perfect for a wide range of tasks – from everyday work to outdoor activities.
Handle – made of laminated wood in deep black coloration has been carefully contoured to provide a secure and comfortable grip. The integrated tri-color insert (green, white, red) is a subtle reference to the Italian origin of the product. The viro lock system used works intuitively and securely – a rotating ring allows you to lock the blade in the desired position without the use of additional buttons or springs. The finish of the handle exposes the natural grain of the material, giving the whole an authentic, classic look. It’s a solution for users who value durability, aesthetics and the traditional style of folding knives.
