Beltrame Stiletto Automatic Knife Bufalo Horn Blade Swedge 23/58BD
Detailed product description
The Beltrame Stiletto Horn Bayonet FB 23/58B automatic knife is a classic Italian automatic model that faithfully follows the traditional stiletto design and delivers an authentic experience in both mechanics and craftsmanship.
This model comes from the legendary knife-making region of Maniago and represents the original style of Italian switchblade knives. It retains its characteristic proportions, construction, and overall appearance, making it especially appealing to lovers of classic designs and collectors.
The dominant feature is the Bayonet blade, known for its slim profile and central ridge. This shape is iconic for stilettos — emphasizing aesthetics, symmetry, and an elegant piercing profile rather than universal work use.
As soon as you take the knife in hand, its traditional construction immediately stands out. This is not a modern EDC tool, but a piece of history that has preserved its original character without significant modernization.
The blade is made of stainless steel, offering sufficient sharpness for everyday use while also being easy to maintain, which matches the traditional focus of these knives.
The automatic mechanism is a classic side-opening system with a button. It offers fast deployment and the typical mechanical “click” that is characteristic of Italian stilettos.
Metal bolsters and traditional construction elements highlight the retro look and preserve authenticity without modern alterations.
The Beltrame Stiletto is a knife built not on modern technology, but on tradition, style, and collector's value.
Knife type: Automatic (side-opening stiletto)
Mechanism: Spring-assisted, push-button
