Anyone know what the knife this is?

Post by MikeLoomber »

Hi! Does anyone know what the knife this is? In which decades was it made, and how much would it cost on the market?
It looks vintage, it's written ITALY on the blade and the blade is pretty sharp, the overall length is 22,5 cm.
Thank you

Armando Beltrame damascus stiletto.
There were made in the early 2000s. I don't know when they stopped making them.

Any idea where they sourced their 'Damascus', Bill?

I don't remember, but it was quality steel.

I've found damacus pretty hard to sharpen, had a couple back when but sold or traded them off. Most people don't use them but they are a nice addition to a collection.

Yes, this blade is pretty sharp, it's from my grandpa, and I don't want to keep it at home
