Budget Stiletto Switchblade – Blue Scales, Italian Style
Legendary Design and Modern Materials
Based on the traditional Italian stiletto design, famous for its slender profile and needle-like point, this knife features an 85 mm (approx. 3.35 inches) blade made of AISI 420 stainless steel. This steel is renowned for its corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening, making it a reliable choice for everyday use. The blade sports a classic bayonet grind, emphasizing the knife's dynamic look.
The handle features durable plastic scales riveted with brass pins onto the liners, mimicking the look of blue pearl or horn for a touch of luxury. The opening mechanism is fully automatic—simply press the button on the handle, and the blade snaps open instantly. To prevent accidental deployment in your pocket, the knife is equipped with a sliding safety lock located just below the firing button.
Usage and History
Historically used as offensive weapons, these knives became symbols of youth rebellion in the 20th century, popularized by movies like Rebel Without a Cause. Today, this model is perfect for:
- Collectors who appreciate retro mechanisms and design.
- Costume props for 1950s outfits, gangsters, or Cold War spy characters.
- EDC (Everyday Carry) for light cutting tasks, opening packages, or outdoor snacking.
