Product detailed description
A true Italian stiletto, a classic knife known from films and the history of Southern Europe. For many users and enthusiasts, the stiletto has become a synonym for a switchblade or automatic knife.
The blade release uses a safety mechanism made of stainless steel or nickel silver, while the blade itself is produced from AISI 420 (W.1.4034) stainless steel with a hardness of 56 HRC. Opening is performed via a push-button located in the center of the handle.
Handles are available in a wide range of materials, from colored plastics to natural horn, exotic woods, and premium materials such as mother-of-pearl or abalone. Liners and pins are made of brass, while the spring mechanism uses stainless steel.
This original product is assembled entirely by hand by the Italian company Frank Beltrame, never by machine.

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.
