Need some 17th Century, Italian man jewellery in your life? Look no further than our Bundle of Stilettos. One of each of our Stiletto range sold together at a discounted price for you to enjoy.
The Stiletto Dagger (only available with black sheath)
The stiletto developed in the late 16thC and by the 17thC, widespread across Italy, Spain and Portugal and to a lesser extent the rest of Europe.
Never a weapon of war, but a civilian dagger either as defence or more popularly considered for offence. Small, delicate looking, always fancy and above all lethal. Because of their ability to be stunning ‘Man jewellery’ combined with all their other attributes they were often sported by the moneyed rough and tumble set.
Because of their thin and small size they were named stiletto; a small pen.
Steel grip and guards, steel blade, vegtan leather sheath in black.
Please note, the blade on this knife is unsharpened and unhardened.
