The blade: Briar wood blue - is a material that combines the elegance of natural wood with a modern touch of dyed design. It is mainly used for luxury knives, pipes and other handmade items where not only quality but also aesthetics matter. It is based on briar wood, i.e. wood from the root growths of the tree heather (Erica arborea), a shrub that grows mainly in the Mediterranean - in Italy, Spain or North Africa.
This material is valued for its hardness, resistance to moisture and heat, and above all for its beautiful, irregular pattern that gives each piece a unique look. Briarwood is most commonly used in the manufacture of pipes, but is also very popular for making handles for traditional knives.
The adjective "blue" refers to blue-toned wood - in this case the timber is stained or otherwise dyed in various shades of blue, from dark navy to steel blue. The staining is done in such a way as to preserve the natural grain of the material, giving each piece a distinctive yet natural look.
Briarwood blue is particularly popular in the cutlery industry for its combination of durability and luxurious feel. Handles made from this material are not only beautiful, but also functional - they fit well in the hand, are not slippery and will last for many years with proper care.
The maintenance of briar wood is simple but requires care. The wood should not be exposed to water for long periods of time. Regular wiping with a soft cloth and occasional refinishing with wax or wood oil is ideal. In this way the material will retain its appearance and protection for many years.

The Italian stiletto knife is an iconic knife that holds a significant place in history and pop culture. Its elegance, pointed shape and precise workmanship make it unique among knives. The stiletto has a rich history that dates back to the Middle Ages, and has become a popular and prized item among collectors and armourers around the world.
The Italian stiletto knife has deep roots in medieval Italy. Its name comes from the Italian word "stilo", meaning "blade". Stiletto knives became a favorite among nobility and soldiers because of their elegant appearance and ability to penetrate between the clothing and armor of the enemy. They were used in both warfare and personal defence.
The stiletto is known for its long and narrow blade, which is typically tipped with a pointed point. Its blade is usually made of stainless steel and is diamond-shaped, giving the knife excellent strength and piercing power. In addition, the typical feature of a stiletto knife is the blade, which is usually made of different materials such as wood, bone or horn. The blade can be decorated with engravings, inlays or even gems, which adds even more aesthetic value to the knife.
The Italian stiletto knife has become an object of fascination not only among collectors, but also in the world of film, literature and music. In many cult films, such as "The Godfather" or "Blade Runner", the stiletto played an important role as a symbol of power, danger or style. It was also widely depicted in the Italian Mafia and its representatives, which contributed to its mystique and popularity. The stiletto has also appeared in song lyrics and in many works of art as an inspiration.
Like many other knives, the stiletto has also been associated with controversy and illegal use. In some countries and jurisdictions, the carrying or possession of the stiletto is restricted by law due to its potential misuse as a weapon. However, it should be noted that in many cases, collectors and lovers of stiletto knives are more fascinated by its historical value and artistic design than by the weapon itself.
