AKC Italy 9" Blue Swirl Kris Swivel Release Stiletto

AKC Italy 9" Blue Swirl Kris Swivel Release is a highly collectible, classic Italian automatic switchblade crafted in Maniago, Italy. It combines traditional old-world knife-making techniques with a striking, wavy blade design and a specific bolstered lock mechanism.

• Overall Length: 9.00 inches
• Blade Length: Approx. 3.75 to 4.00 inches
• Blade Style: Kris (a distinct, wavy serpentine blade profile)
• Blade Material: Polished Stainless Steel
• Handle Material: Blue Swirl Acrylic/Composition polymer
• Lock / Release Mechanism: Swivel Bolster Release (pivoting the top bolster unlocks and closes the blade)
• Country of Origin: Italy (Maniago) 
  

• Kris Blade: Unlike standard straight bayonet or dagger profiles, the Kris blade has a traditional wavy shape. It is highly polished to a mirror finish, highlighting the elegant curves of the steel. 
• Blue Swirl Handle: The handle features smooth acrylic scales with deep pearlescent blue and black swirls. This gives the knife a rich, liquid-like depth that catches the light uniquely on every piece. 
• Swivel Bolster Mechanism: To open the knife, you press the classic push button on the handle, which fires the blade out rapidly from the side. To close it, you push down or tilt the top metal bolster (the guard piece near the base of the blade). This swivel movement releases the internal lock, letting you safely fold the blade back down into the handle. 
• Intended Use: Because traditional Italian stilettos are handmade using classic pinning techniques, they typically feature a more rustic fit and finish compared to modern machine-made tactical knives. This knife is primarily intended as a collector's display piece rather than a hard-use everyday carry tool.
