Frank Beltrame 11" Honey Horn ~ Swing Guard Stiletto

The Frank Beltrame 11" Honey Horn Swing Guard is a traditional, Italian-made automatic stiletto switchblade handcrafted in Maniago, Italy. It combines a unique, classic folding guard mechanism with natural, highly sought-after aesthetic scales. 

• Swinguard Functionality: Features a folding hilt or guard. When closed, the guard folds flat against the handle for a slim pocket profile. Upon deployment, the guard automatically pivots outward to form a protective crossguard below the blade.
• Automatic Fire Action: Operates via a robust leaf-spring automatic mechanism. Pressing the face-mounted push button fires the blade out of the side with high speed and authoritative force.
• Sliding Safety: Includes a front-mounted sliding safety switch near the button to prevent accidental firing while carrying.
• Closing Mechanism: The knife safely closes by pressing down on the exposed lockback lever along the spine of the handle, releasing the blade and letting the guard pivot back smoothly.

• Honey Horn Scales: Crafted with natural European horn, varying beautifully from translucent blonde and warm amber to caramel tones with unique organic streaks. Because it is a natural keratin substance, slight texture variations are standard features of its handmade origin.
   
   
• Blade Profile: Classic, polished or satin-finished 440C stainless steel bayonet-style ground blade.
• Hardware: Built over a traditional brass liner frame, pinned with solid brass pins and accented by high-polished nickel silver or stainless steel bolsters.
