Frank B did not make 13" stilettos. As with other makers, he bought knives he did not actually make and added his stamp, if he bothered to do that. This process enabled him and several others to offer a "full line" of popular sized knives thereby facilitating one-stop shopping.

I have a 13" kriss with ram horn scales but I am pretty sure that It was made by Renzo Beltrame. Stamped Stiletto over Italy which is the way I believe Renzo typically stamps. I do have an 11" swingard with a kriss blade that was made by Frank and stamped FRANK B. over ITALY.
SNAP, SNAP, SNAP!!

The one next to the tape measure is the ram called 13"er that I was referring to.

The 11" swingers with the Kriss blade and silver skull button were made by Frank and customized by Arlin Walker aka SloJo.
If that is of any help.

Thanks so much for the offering of the 13” not stamped Frank B and the swing guard has been modified so I’ll respectfully pass. Still gonna patiently wait for the right one.

The knives Mark is selling are made by Renzo Beltrame, however they are beautiful and I’ll definitely look into it further. Thank you!

Renzo has the same last name as Frank, but apparently they are not related. More ways to confuse us. :?

I may not have the keenest eye for detail, but I’d have a tough time telling one Beltrame product from another. I guess Frank has the most “famous” name of the 3. I understand there’s now a 4th Beltrame making knives as well. Giovanni (?)
