So here I have an 11" Kris Blade Stiletto by Armando Beltrame. I wanted to know if what looks to be a hand etched stamp is genuine? Great knife that fires strong.
Thanks!!

Hi Bill,
Four photos are attached. It's the third one down.
I've never seen that stamp before. It looks hand etched maybe a Dremel?
Ask Armando he would know.

The picture is of the entire knife, and the tang stamp is not plainly visible. It is not readable.
Regardless, I'm sure it is original. It's certainly not done with a Dremel.

I'm happy to have added a few nice Italians at great prices.
By the way Bill, did you see my 13" Stag post? If so, I'd love you take on it.
Re: Genuine Tang Stamp On This Italian Kristen Stiletto?
I'm on my phone and the enlargement of the stamp is so much sharper given the quality of the stamp. I should be using my PC to view photos. On another thread what I thought looked like olive wood turned out to be briarwood.
