Product detailed description
The Beltrame Italy Picklock is an exceptional piece of Italian knife-making artistry, produced in a limited edition exclusively for 2025. Only 168 pieces were made, each hand-assembled and finished with the utmost care. Inside is a classic picklock mechanism, an original design from the last century that only a few experienced craftsmen are capable of producing today. This mechanism requires precision in every detail, from the shape of the latch to the tension of the spring, making it a technically demanding and highly prized system.
The combination of traditional methods and modern materials guarantees smooth blade opening with a characteristic metallic click that every collector will recognize. The steel achieves high hardness and maintains its edge even after long use, while the hand-polished bolsters and precisely machined handle give the knife a luxurious look and a comfortable grip.
Each Picklock in this series bears the inscription "Limited Edition 2025" and "Frank B. Italy" as a confirmation of authenticity directly from the Beltrame workshop in Maniago, a town with a long tradition of knife making. This model combines history, technical complexity, and collectible value into one exceptional knife that captivates with both its mechanics and the soul of handcrafted work.

The Kris is a classic Malaysian knife with a "wavy" blade that originates from the island of Java. It is considered one of the ancient weapons of Southeast Asia and its popularity quickly spread throughout the archipelago. It is known in several versions, as each island in the archipelago had a unique design of the blade, sheath, and handle throughout history. It is a unique form of dagger widely used not only in Malaysia, but also in Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Brunei.
The Kris is said to be endowed with magical powers and is regarded by many as a talisman for good luck. It is believed to bring good fortune to its owner.
The kris was originally a sword that was one of the famous weapons of the Filipino martial art of eskrima. Warriors of the Samal and Yakan clans used it to cause maximum damage. Even today, the kris is used in training and professional combat.

Frank Beltrame has been producing traditional Italian Stiletto knives for more than forty years, earning strong recognition among demanding customers worldwide. Crafted in Maniago, these knives combine manual skill with precise spring-driven mechanics. Decades of continuous production have refined the opening action into a reliable and unmistakable signature. This balance of tradition and function defines the Italian stiletto knife.
The Maniago Smith manufacturing heritage has been passed down through generations, preserving attention to detail and mechanical accuracy. Consistent spring tension and clean deployment remain key indicators of quality. At the same time, the company engages in the Made in Maniago certification project and ongoing material research, aligning tradition with modern European standards.
The classic product line adheres strictly to traditional craftsmanship and premium materials such as buffalo horn, stag horn, exotic woods, mammoth ivory, ebony, and durable synthetic options. Each handle material delivers a unique texture and visual depth, making every knife distinctive. The blade, made from stainless steel W.1.4034 hardened to HRC 56, offers a balanced mix of resilience and edge stability, while brass inlays OT63 and OT67 reinforce the timeless appearance.
The Italian stiletto knife stands as an icon in history and popular culture. Originating in medieval Italy, its slim, pointed blade with a diamond profile symbolizes elegance and penetration. Today, collectors value the stiletto primarily for its historical significance and refined Italian craftsmanship rather than its former combative role.
