White Automatic Stiletto Switchblade

White Automatic Italian Stiletto Switchblade with Plain Edge Blade

Historical Context and Use of the Legendary Knife

The original stiletto originated in Italy during the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance. Originally, it was a fixed dagger with a narrow blade, the main purpose of which was to penetrate gaps in chainmail or plate armour. Throughout the 20th century, this iconic shape transformed into modern folding knives, which gained enormous popularity worldwide. Today, this piece is perfectly suited as a practical helper for opening parcels or letters, or as an authentic-looking prop for a mafia or retro costume from the middle of the last century.

Mechanism and Safe Handling

Handling this model is very intuitive but requires following the correct procedure:

• Opening the knife is lightning fast and is accompanied by the traditional clicking sound. The blade is released with just one press of the button on the handle.
• To prevent accidental opening in your pocket, the product is equipped with a sliding safety catch.
• The design utilises a specific bolster lock against accidental closing. To safely fold the knife, you need to tilt the bolster under the blade, and only then can you smoothly fold the blade back into the handle.

Safety Guidelines and Proper Maintenance

Because the product is equipped with a sharp blade, we strongly advise that for safety reasons, it is not intended for contact fencing, cutting tests, or man-to-man combat. Exercise extreme caution during any handling to prevent injury to yourself and those around you. Avoid prying or chopping into hard objects, which could cause irreversible damage to the automatic mechanism and the blade.

To ensure the knife serves you as well as new for as long as possible, we recommend wiping the blade dry after every use. The opening mechanism should occasionally be lightly lubricated with a drop of high-quality gun oil to maintain its smooth operation.

We highly recommend purchasing a high-quality leather belt pouch alongside this knife for safe and comfortable carrying.
