Product detailed description
The classic Italian stiletto is one of the world's most iconic automatic knives, made famous through films and the rich knife-making heritage of Southern Europe. For generations, it has been regarded by collectors and enthusiasts as the classic switchblade or automatic knife. Its elegant profile, unmistakable push-button mechanism, and traditional craftsmanship have secured its place among the most recognizable knife designs ever produced.
The blade is deployed by pressing the button positioned in the center of the handle, while an integrated safety lock helps prevent accidental opening during carry. The release mechanism is manufactured from stainless steel or nickel silver, ensuring reliable operation and long-lasting durability. The crisp automatic action remains one of the defining characteristics of traditional Italian stilettos.
The bayonet-style blade is crafted from W.1.4034 (AISI 420) stainless steel, hardened to approximately 56 HRC. This proven blade steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, easy maintenance, and dependable edge performance for everyday use. The distinctive bayonet profile emphasizes the knife's classic Italian appearance while providing precise cutting capability.
The handle is fitted with white polymer scales, offering excellent durability, dimensional stability, and resistance to moisture and everyday wear. The clean white finish highlights the traditional stiletto design while providing a modern, easy-to-maintain alternative to natural handle materials. Brass liners and pins follow classic Italian construction methods, while the internal spring is manufactured from stainless steel for reliable long-term performance.
Every Frank Beltrame knife is individually assembled and finished entirely by hand in Maniago, Italy, preserving the authentic craftsmanship that has made Italian stilettos highly respected among collectors worldwide.
