    Had some experience for the first time with a Frank Beltrame switchblade.

    9 inch stiletto.

    While the craftsmanship is undeniable and the lock up as tight as any of the best folders I've encountered, the blade was as dull as a butter knife and the point about as pointy as a sharpened pencil.

    The blade on my Kershaw Link is vastly superior.

    But nonetheless, it is definitely a classic for sure.

    None of the Italian stilettos are sharp. They're not made for cutting work, but for stabbing. The steel is most likely 400 series stainless.

    Not a fan of FB, great marketing but poor craftsmanship with insufficient materials.

    Found an AKC leverletto for a little bit more and it is stunning.

    AKC leverlocks are good quality for reasonable money.
