Real Italian stiletto (switch blade)

[JERRY]

Where's the best place to buy a true Italian (auto) stiletto with mother of pearl grips? Preferably a 4" blade somewhere around there.

Lots on offer but I don’t know about relative quality and desirability.

In my youth, I wanted a nice stiletto. My Dad persuaded me to spend the same money on a cheap stiletto and a Case knife. Which I got a lot more use out of.

So who sells the Italian switch blade stiletto where the blade doesn't have the word China Pakistan, India... on it?

Mother of Pearl will be expensive. At least $200.

If you're willing to pay $500 look at Burn. burnknives.com

Understand what you want is no longer commonly available. Imitation pearl isn't hard to find but real Italians in MOP are collector items.
