<p>They also sell United Cutlery. I have bought a couple of things from them in the past, Some United and a couple of Timberwolf knives, mainly legs for Debra and a Trapper from Timberwolf.

<p>The stiletto has a long history dating back to the 1500’s. It traces his origins back to the Main Gauche. The main gauche had two purpose. To parry a sword thrust and to deliver a fatal blow or mercy strike. </p>
<p>The stiletto was an out growth with its stron slender blade used to strike blows between gaps in armor and also became a tool for assassins. It’s alway pretty much has been a tool designed for thrusting and killing, both proactive and reactive. </p>

<p>Many early stilettos weren’t even sharpened; just very pointy. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Both of these are are very sharp out of the boxeasily slicing paper and cardboard. Both also easily punctured cardboard as well as a cantaloupe. I have no doubt they would pierce skin. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Of the two, the clip blade with its flat grind is more practical for other uses. I believe the whole reason some stilettos are made with the clip blade is so they could, in theory, be used for more than just a weapon. Hope that helps. </p>
