AKC Italy 9" Stag Bayonet Swivel Release Stiletto 

 AKC Italy 9" Stag Bayonet Swivel Release (commonly known in Italian stiletto terminology as a swivel bolster or bolster-release stiletto) is a classic automatic switchblade knife crafted in the legendary knife-making region of Maniago, Italy. This traditional collector's piece seamlessly combines vintage old-world design with a specialized mechanization system. 

• Overall Length: 9.00 inches.
• Blade Length: Approximately 3.8 to 4.0 inches.
• Blade Style: Bayonet grind, featuring a symmetrical look with a sharp primary edge and a distinct unsharpened top false edge that provides a classic piercing profile.
• Handle Material: Authentic Stag antler scales, which give each individual knife a unique, textured, and rugged brown-and-tan aesthetic.
• Frame Construction: Built with stainless steel liners, brass pins, and polished stainless steel bolsters.

• Deployment: To fire the knife, you push a flush-mounted button on the handle. The blade snaps open rapidly via an internal leaf spring. A small slide safety sits near the button to prevent the knife from misfiring in your pocket. 
• Lockup: Once fully opened, the blade locks into place solidly using a lockback design. 
• The Swivel Closing: To close the knife, you push forward on the top front bolster (the metal guard near the base of the blade). This bolster is on a pivot; tilting or "swiveling" it lifts the locking bar out of the blade tang, letting you safely fold the blade back into the handle.
