Frank Beltrame Switch Bayonet Marbled 23cm switchblade (FB 23/MRBLB)

Switch Bayonet Marble 23cm, traditional Italian spring knife with handle, made of plastic imitating marble. The opening of the blade must take place within a few hundredths of a second (a feature of Stiletto knives). Completely handmade according to the principles of Italian craftsmanship, the knives from the legendary Frank Beltrame manufactory have become world famous for their extreme lightness and strength. Thanks to its characteristics, the Italian dagger is suitable for use in any environment. Solid, sturdy construction and a powerful opening blade spring are the hallmarks of classic Frank Beltrame spring knives.

Steel

AISI 420 MA5M (American Iron and Steel Institute) - martensitic stainless steel rich in carbon 0.15% and containing min. 12% chromium. In the annealed condition it has good formability and excellent corrosion resistance. AISI 420 grade has the highest chromium content of all stainless steels 12-14% and hardness in the range of 52-56 HRC.

Blade

Extremely sharp, precision crafted blade with Spear Point/Bayonet profile, 3.5mm thick with short false point for increased piercing ability. Made of AISI 420 MA5M stainless steel, easy to sharpen with high corrosion resistance. Hardened steel 56 HRC. Plain blade with Flat grind for excellent cutting and penetration properties.

Handle

Covered with imitation marble plastic cladding with unique pattern, gives traditional and exclusive look. The grip covers finished with bolsters made of polished nickel, provide comfortable, secure grip. Safety of use is increased by ergonomic shape of the handle preventing slipping of the hand during work. Rivets made of brass.

Spring

Special attention is paid to the design of the spring (stainless steel): the opening of the blade must take place within a few hundredths of a second (a feature of Stiletto knives). The Beltrame folder, when opening the blade, emits a characteristic sound (click) that distinguishes it from other spring-loaded knives.

Locking device

Protects against accidental folding or opening of the blade. The automatic knife is opened with a solid button located on the handle.
