Antonini Elk Walnut Fixed Blade

The Antonini Elk Walnut Fixed Blade; Elk is born from the encounter between pragmatic simplicity in Nordic design and the centuries-old manufacturing traditions of Maniago, Italy. Designed by Tommaso Rumici, this fixed blade is Antonini's first and is the soul of Antonini's 'Heritage' phase of knife-making, celebrating the roots of classic knife-making. The blade is 14C28N stainless from Alleima, vacuum hardened and then cryogenically treated to reach 60 HRC: properly hard for a stainless, with the edge retention to show for it.

At 8.8cm with a straight-back profile, it's sized for practical outdoor work, with thick Jimping at the base to strengthen your grip and a cast brass safety guard separating the blade from the handle. American walnut scales in a coffin shape are hand finished and offer a classic grip with a slightly deeper, warmer colour.

Each knife comes with an Italian full-grain leather sheath suited for ambidextrous carry and vegetable tanned the traditional Tuscan way.
