From the photos I can not understand well. It looks like a blond horn to me. It is definitely not a horn tip.

Re: Honey Horn vs. French Tip?

Hi huckles, I must say that from 2020 the declared measurements (cm23, 28) are exact. In recent years, when the blades and springs were sheared, the measurements were not exactly exact. If you go to measure 23 and 28 a few years ago they are 22.5 or less and 27.4. On the 23rd I managed to bring it t...

Re: Frank B Humpback Stiletto

Do any of you happen to have a Frank B humpback stiletto like the one in this video? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2crFQ47sAas I thought this looked interesting. I understand that these kind don’t use a leaf spring but instead use a coil spring. Is it a coil spring that goes around the pivot like o...

Re: Honey Horn vs. French Tip?

Ivano: You provide good insight into my so-much-to-learn tiny brain. So maybe you said it but I still don't quite understand. Is there a way to visually tell the difference between honey horn and tip horn and are you saying they potentially can come from the same animal's single horn? Thank you. Ch...

Re: Honey Horn vs. French Tip?

I have a question about horns used in the Italian stiletto handles. I've gotten to where I can tell the difference between Buffalo and Brazilian dark horn. But I'm not seeing the distinction between the blondes "Honey Horn" and "French Tip". Latama site currently has one of each for sale under half...

Re: *WITH SEER H. PHOTO* Anybody know anything regarding this 9" stiletto?

Hi Folks: The knife is NOT a picklock and seems well made. The Damascus steel appears(feels) real. The tang is marked "Ducator Italy". ADDED A PHOTO OF SEER HOLE.

Re: Frank blade hole

Thanks for all the info, Ivano. I am curious if you ever build your own pieces, and if so how would we tell? seems everything is marked the same. Does Renzo Beltrame still make blades for the 13'' models? Hi luke, I'm glad you ask me these questions. I'll wait for you in Italy so I'll show you what...

Re: west side story

If you are interested there will be the sequel to the west side story film. The knives in the sequel will be by Frank Beltrame, that's all. Would be great if your family's company got screen credit!! Of course a special run of West Side Story Stilettos would also be a natural. ... I can only say th...
