Stiletto

This exclusive handmade Italian stiletto combines exceptional collector’s value with a rich history rooted in Renaissance Italy. Originally created as a secondary weapon, the stiletto was widely used by knights and noblemen who practiced fencing professionally. Due to its complexity, mastering the stiletto as an off-hand weapon required hundreds of hours of rigorous training. It also served as a striking accessory that emphasized the owner’s status and rank. The piece presented in our store is a unique Gothic stiletto decorated with ornate engravings and a snake-shaped handle — a traditional symbol of luck and prosperity for the blade’s owner. The handle features a full-figure depiction of Saint George the Victorious, flowing into the guard and illustrating a biblical motif. The blade has a triangular cross-section and an impressive length of up to 400 mm with a thickness of 5 mm. Crafted from high-quality weapon steel, it maintains its visual appeal and piercing capability even after long storage. A refined oak presentation case lined with blue velvet is included for storage and transport. This combat stiletto will become a valuable collectible and a centerpiece of any edged or firearms collection, linking historic weapon traditions with the modern world. You can purchase this Gothic stiletto at the Arm Elite exclusive weapons boutique.
