Old Bear Grafting Knife
3" Blade Length, 4.38" Closed Length
The Antonini Old Bear Folding Medium Grafting Knife is a purpose-built tool for grafting, budding, and detailed plant care, crafted in Maniago, Italy by Antonini srl. Blending traditional Italian craftsmanship with modern performance, it features an elegant walnut wood handle paired with a satin-finished stainless steel grafting blade for accuracy, durability, and control.
The 75 mm straight blade includes an integrated bark lifter for precise bark manipulation without plant damage. Made from high-quality stainless steel (W 1.4060) and cryogenically treated to 58 HRC, it delivers excellent edge retention and long-lasting performance. Each blade is hand-sharpened and deburred for clean, precise cuts.
The ergonomically shaped walnut handle is oil-treated for moisture resistance and comfort, while the signature OT58 brass safety ring locks the blade securely in both open and closed positions. A traditional nail nick opening and a smooth adjustable Torx T8 pivot complete this refined, practical folding knife.
Ideal for gardeners, arborists, and horticulturists, this knife offers professional-grade precision in a compact, beautifully crafted design.
