Italian Style Automatic Stiletto Knife – Black
Mechanism and Construction
The heart of this knife is the automatic spring mechanism. The blade is activated by pressing the silver button on the handle, after which the spring instantly snaps the blade into the open position. To prevent accidental opening in your pocket, the handle is equipped with a manual sliding safety lock. The blade is made of 420 stainless steel (as evidenced by the HALLER stamp on the blade), which is known for its corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. The scales are made of durable black plastic and attached to the steel frame with brass rivets, giving the knife a classic look.
The Legend Named Stiletto
The original Stiletto comes from Italy, and its history dates back to the late Middle Ages, when it served as a dagger for piercing chainmail. However, its modern "switchblade" era began in the early 20th century in the town of Maniago. These knives gained their greatest fame in the 1950s in the USA, where they became a symbol of rebellion and rock 'n' roll (think of movies like Rebel Without a Cause). This model is a modern, economical variant that allows you to own a piece of this history without having to invest a fortune.
Care and Maintenance
Although 420 steel is stainless, I recommend keeping the knife clean and dry. The spring mechanism is sensitive to dirt, so occasionally apply a little gun oil or sewing machine oil to the spring and pivot area. The spring has a lifespan – do not open the knife unnecessarily "dry" a thousand times a day to avoid fatiguing the mechanism. This knife is not intended for heavy work, prying, or throwing.
