Beltrame Stiletto Horn Bayonet FB 23/58B Switchblade Knife
Detailed product description
The Beltrame Stiletto Horn Bayonet FB 23/58B switchblade knife is a classic Italian automatic model that faithfully follows the traditional stiletto design and delivers an authentic experience of 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 the 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 utility use.
As soon as you take the knife in hand, its traditional construction stands out immediately. 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 remaining easy to maintain, in keeping with the traditional focus of these knives.
The automatic mechanism is a classic side-opening system with a button. It provides fast opening and the typical mechanical “click” that is characteristic of Italian stilettos.
Metal bolsters and traditional construction elements enhance the retro look and preserve authenticity without modern interventions.
Beltrame Stiletto is a knife built not on modern technology, but on tradition, style, and collector value.
Knife type Automatic (side-opening stiletto)
