Elegant, understated, and unmistakably Italian, the Frank Beltrame 11" Automatic Stiletto with Dark Buffalo Horn showcases one of the most iconic knife patterns ever produced. Handcrafted in Italy by legendary maker Frank Beltrame, this classic automatic embodies decades of traditional craftsmanship, precision assembly, and timeless styling that has made Italian stilettos legendary among collectors worldwide.

This pre-COVID production example comes from the original Frank Beltrame workshop before D.M. Knives assumed much of the regional manufacturing. Its genuine dark buffalo horn handle offers a rich, natural appearance with subtle variations in grain and color, ensuring every knife is truly unique. Combined with polished steel bolsters, brass pins, and brass liners, it delivers the unmistakable look collectors expect from an authentic Italian stiletto.

The mirror-polished 11-inch bayonet blade is crafted from durable 440 stainless steel and deploys with the satisfying snap that has made Frank B switchblades famous for generations. Whether displayed proudly in a collection or appreciated for its traditional mechanical design, this knife captures the enduring appeal of classic Italian automatics.
