This gold plated 11" stiletto features a stunning handmade design from Frank Beltrame. It has a satin dagger blade with matching bolsters. The elegant handle is outfitted with ebony handle scales, brass pins, and a nickel silver firing button. There is also a sliding safety lock made from nickel silver. The sophisticated design and attention to detail make this Frank B. a perfect collectors item. Italian Stilettos are handmade using traditional knife-making techniques. As a result they will have a more rustic fit and finish than most production knives. These traditional Italian knives are intended more for collection and display, rather than hard EDC use.
