M Walnut Carbon Steel-Old Bear Sale

Following the great success and continuing popularity of the Old Bear Series in the style of traditional utility pocketknives, Antonini has produced the same series in trusty carbon steel – for all fans of the original and authentic. If chromium is not added to the steel, it has the advantage of being easy to sharpen. This type of blade doesn’t need an elaborate sharpening system or even help from the manufacturer. Just like in the good old days, it’s enough to use the base of a plate or the bottom of an earthenware moonshine jug to get the knife back to its sharp edge for all everyday cutting tasks. With long-term use, the blade develops the rugged gray patina that also offers a certain amount of rust protection.
