Big knife

Post by jorvik »

Hi guys just saw this on U-Tube, I know it's not a switchblade but I seriously want one. Anybody got any ideas where to buy?...wouldn't it be great with a spring in it :D

I think the original stilletoes from Italy , and I mean a couple of hundred years ago were a bit like the size of a Spanish Navajas

The original Stilettos were fixed blade daggers, designed to penetrate chain-mail armor :idea:

There are lots od artisans making traditional Italian knives. I think the ones by Sandro Mariani are very nice.

NB the traditional Sicilian stiletto was manual only. I think the posts I wrote about them are still up at Teddy's.
