The fascinating story of the Stiletto

The stiletto, a knife with a rich and diverse history, has its roots in the Middle Ages. It was often used as a concealed weapon by nobles, spies, and assassins. The slim and pointed shape of the stiletto made it the ideal tool for quick, discreet, and precise attacks. Over the centuries, the design of the stiletto has continuously evolved, but its basic form, function, and unique charm have always been preserved.

In the 20. century, the stiletto fell into disrepute in many countries and was restricted or even banned by laws, as it was often associated with criminal activities. Despite these challenges, the stiletto has never lost its allure and its status as a coveted collector's item and reliable tool. It remains a symbol for many knife enthusiasts and stiletto aficionados worldwide.

Various types of stilettos

Stilettos are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and mechanisms, depending on the intended use and design preferences. Some of the most popular and sought-after types of stilettos are:

• Manual Stilettos: With these knives, the blade must be manually unfolded. They are often slimmer and offer a more traditional handling than their automatic counterparts.
• Automatic Stilettos: These knives feature a mechanism that automatically springs the blade out of the handle. They are particularly popular among collectors and stiletto enthusiasts. However, since switchblades with spring-assisted opening mechanisms are classified under Switzerland's weapons law, Meister Messer does not offer automatic stilettos.
• Mini stilettos: These compact stilettos are ideal for everyday use and can be discreetly carried in a bag or on a keychain.

Material and Design of the Stiletto

The choice of material and design of a stiletto often depends on personal preferences and the intended area of use. Some prefer traditional stiletto designs with wooden handles and steel blades, while others favor modern materials and innovative designs. Regardless of your preferences, Meister Messer offers a wide range of stilettos that will certainly meet your taste and requirements.
