Do something long enough and the better you'll become at it, thats a
principal you can bank on! BurnKnives has been producing custom made
Italian Stiletto's since 1998. We've found ways to improve upon the
infamous Stiletto design even further:
principal you can bank on! BurnKnives has been producing custom made
Italian Stiletto's since 1998. We've found ways to improve upon the
infamous Stiletto design even further:
1) Improved longer sear - less travel and less engagement. The new
style prevents binding on the 11" and 13" sizes that have tremendous
torque. This makes for a smoother release and keeps the torque all in
the opening of the blade, not the handle.
2) The button can now be moved almost anywhere in the scale - the
middle is preferred by collectors as its exactly where the old antique
Stiletto makers placed them.
3) Button has less of a round dome and prevents "sore thumbs" from
the heavy leaf springs there built with. The wider/flatter surface area
allows for more contact area for an easier firing mechanism.
4) With less range of motion in the sear area the scale height can now
be dropped lower and blend smoothly with the bolster height. This
makes for less drag when carried and less restriction in your hand
when used.
5) Rolled top bolsters - The new rolled style have more of a custom look
while offering a completely smooth transition to the scales. A more
heavier duty style and no molding imperfections thats typical with
casting nickel silver.
6) Short throw safety - built completely from stainless steel with only a
3/32" range of motion to engage and disengage. 10x's stronger than
before and most importantly..... it's stays out of your way!
