Heres a set that took me a few years to find. They are Kissing Cranes, KC47,
KC48, KC49 and KC45. For size, the KC45 is 15"s
I don't think there is a small KC46 but if anyone knows let me know.

Mr Claudester,
I have good news for you sir ! They did make the KC46 w/ kriss & stag handles. I got mine off auction a while back,they don't show up very often,but I've seen a few here & there....and you can expect to pay around $40 for one. If I run across one I'll let you know.

Thanks Switch67,
I have seen your blades and know you have quite a collection of the same.
Do you have all of the sizes in the kriss and do you know if they made them
in wood also.

I've got all but the KC45 w/ kriss blade so far. I've never seen any kriss blade models with the wood or buffalo horn handles. I can't say for sure they never made any. I've got a couple horn handle KC's...a 13" & 9". And a KC46 in light horn with nickle silver bolsters.

Mr. Claudester,

I owned a beautiful, Italian-made kris stiletto, that was customized for The Edge Co. It had the nicest thick slabs of blue micarta, heavy nickel bolsters, thick back-spring, heavy-guage 440 stainless steel, and was fully brass lined. I sold it when I started to beef-up my switch collection.

I've told someone that many times. [The devil made me do it].

Claudester,
Ah-ha!! You got the stag one :P These Edge Co. stilettos were made by the same italian maker as the KC's. I believe the Edge Co had very limited runs on the "mega-lettos" as they were called.I wouldn't call them rare....but a 'must have' none the less. Here's a pair I have in my collection .
The top one is buffalo horn w/ brass bolsters & liners, the bottom is pearl acrylic with stainless bolsters and stainless liners.

Switch67,
I like your good taste in Blades. I also collect the Falcon stiletto that again is made by the same maker. Heres my other 45 in Blue acrylic.

Switch,
I've got one 9" stag with the Edge medallion, clip blade but it has a bolster
release instead of the lock back. Have you ever seen one? Its the only one I
have found.
