These rare configuration Italian Stilettos have a fully automatic flat grind blade that is fired by the same action that we use to close a bolster release Italian automatic.



Recently uncovered in a Maniago Italy warehouse, 1000 of these were built custom by Frank Beltrame for Indiana Cutlery in the 90s.

The swivel bolster is used to fire the auto mechanism as well as unlock the blade to close it.

No other Italian built knife ever had a secret mechanism like this one it is truly amazing!
