| Back in the 1950's the Latama company built a few stiletto proto-types with unique plunge style releases and square buttons. Currently, they are considered to be the rarest and most valuable of all antique Italian switchblades as only about a dozen or so are known to exist. They have passed between collectors hands in amounts of up to $10,000 per piece. Little has been known about how many were actually produced and in what sizes they were built in. Recently, accurate information in regards to these knives has become available and released in a newly published book named "Switchblades of Italy." |
| I have been privelaged to actually hold original vintage 9" and 13" Latama square button stilettos in my hands. From pictures and holding these actual knives I have recreated this style of knife in a 13". They've been kept close to the antique vintage styling as possible with a few modern improvements of our own. Offered in a limited run of 5 hollow ground Kris blades and 5 hollow ground Bayonet blades in 13" AOL. Ten square button knives total (plus 2 proto-types) are serialized and signed by myself "BURN." |
