Is Stiletto Italy marked tang on the blade made by Renzo or Frank Beltrame or neither? If neither any idea who makes it?
Re: Stilleto Italy etched on the blade
I've copied and pasted this info to use in various places time after time, thanks to our long time friend and member John. It's the one I've gone by.
Here’s Frank’s timeline for stamps:
1960-70 BV&F was used by Frank's father
Before 1996 Frank's old tang stamp was lower case b (capital letter "B" was used by Renzo B)
1996 to 2004 Frank used Stiletto Italy (AB Cutlery in 1996 also used Stiletto Italy. So, it is difficult to know for sure for 3-4 years)
2003-2004 Frank started using Frank B
