There are a lot of bad cheap Italian Stilettos out there and I had given up on the entire category years ago so I was so stoked when we went to Maniago Italy (the birthplace of Italian Switchblades) and found out exactly how the traditionally constructed/properly made Italian Stiletto is basically a work of art.

Frank B. and Latama Knives are great places to find a proper Italian made Stiletto.
