- Old Bear from Antonini Knives - An Opinel challenger ?Never thought I would say that.
Found this knife while searching for a recommendation from a Subscriber. Made in Italy. I am very impressed. Certainly a challenger of the Opinel for me.
Thanks for watching as always

Looks very nice!
Yep welk made and close to an Opinel 8. Thanks for watching always appriciated 👍
Thanks George is was a great review. The old bear is a good knife.
Thank you
That is a nice looking knife. If you didn't tell me i would have just thought it was an openel. Great review George!
That you sir
George have you ever looked at the MAM knives made in Portugal? They are very similar to the Opinal's, they are cool they even have a blade lock model all in your budget
Yep actually have a couple ua-cam.com/video/7b_1ukEIRSY/v-deo.html

Just saying. Be safe my friend
thats a handy knife ya got there George
Hey George! That’s a beautiful knife! It looks like it’ll serve you well ☺️
Yep. Liking it. Hopefully it will last. We will see. Thanks for the support as always, it appreciated
Good looking knife. I have not heard of them before.
Lol. Neither had I came across them by accident. Not sorry though. Thanks for watching
Hi George, I’ve been watching your UA-cam channel for a while now. I enjoy seeing your adventures and product reviews. Keep it up, you are fun to watch.
FYI, I’ve been looking for a knife to throw in my Osprey daypack and your review of the Old Bear has sparked my interest enough to buy one.
Thank you for your support its much appriciated. You won't be dissapointed in the knife.
Good knife George there isn’t much difference in shape but ! the locking mechanism is totally different a well made knife from Italy ...... I have one highly recommendable in my opinion, I skinned a muntjac deer with it no problem . Have a good day George , ps nice stick
Nice. Its my out and about edc with a small ferro rod on the sheath. Thanks for watching 👍
Good looking knife I carry an opinel edc I like the handle on the martini best!
I carry my Opinel at work etc. But I have kinda abused it..lol. but it's still going. I do think I prefer the old bear but some people say the steel is not as good as the Opie. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
I know I’m 2 years too late for this video but do you still use this knife? How’s it holding up? Specifically the locking mechanism. I know that for the opinels, people have mentioned that the twist lock loosens over time but I don’t think I’ve seen and long term review of the antonini to determine if this is also an issue with this knife
It has held up well. The lock has loosened a bit. But not a big deal. It's a great knife. Thanks for watching 👍
The main difference is George is the opinel knife has an edge on both sides old bear only has Edge on one side
Ahaa. Never noticed that. Thankyou
i own both and have found the 2 to be very similar.
i think the opinel is slightly better.
the construction is more precise and holds up better over time.
my old bear has loosened up over time to where locking the blade is no longer
optional in open or closed position.
I have not had that problem with the Old Bear, but to be honest I have not used it nearly as much as my Opinels. Which have as you said stood up great. Thanks for watching, and as always be safe out there.
@@2ndchancegeorge i wouldn't go so far as to call it a problem, it's just falls short of the quality of opinels.
all in all still a very nice knife that i would recommend.
Yep with you there. Thanks again
I use mine to cut steak in the restaurant works great.
What they were originally designed for. Thanks watching and the support
George you sound very South African
Lol...nope from Zimbabwe but close enough thanks for watching
@@2ndchancegeorge long live rhodesia
Thanks fir the support
