Opening is done with a push-button mechanism that activates the blade with the usual dynamics and sound. Handle is made of natural ebony wood, whose deep color and smooth finish give the knife a noble look. The nickel fittings used reinforce the design and harmonize with the classic distribution of rivets and button, remaining faithful to the historical Italian patterns.

Stiletto Ebony is not only a tool - it is also a tribute to tradition and elegance, addressed to collectors, enthusiasts of classics and lovers of Italian applied design.
420 MA5M - martensitic stainless steel rich in carbon 0.15% and containing min. 12% chromium. In the annealed state, it has good ductility and excellent corrosion resistance. Grade 420 has the highest chromium content of all stainless steels at 12-14% and a hardness in the 52 -56 HRC range .
Blade - bayonet style, made of polished stainless steel, features a slim geometry and a classic, slightly sharpened profile, facilitating precise cuts. The material provides resistance to rust and ease of sharpening, which makes the knife practical also outside the context of collectors. The finish of the blade, with traces of hand-grinding, emphasizes the artisanal character of the design. The key element remains the spring-loaded mechanism, activated by a push-button, which is responsible for the quick and impressive opening of the blade. An additional safety feature in the form of a slide prevents accidental folding or opening of the blade. The whole is set in the convention of classic Beltrame knives, maintaining functionality and proportions in line with the canon.
Handle - combines solid ebony wood with nickel fittings, creating a composition that refers to the best traditions of Italian stiletto. The smooth surface of the wood, dark tones and precisely set rivets create a harmonious whole. The profile of the grip ensures comfortable manipulation, and the balance of the design promotes stability when handling the knife. The arrangement of components - including the opening mechanism - retains the classic layout known from handmade models of decades ago. The choice of materials and handmade production enhance the aesthetic and functional qualities, making the knife both a practical tool and a unique object of collector value.

This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
