A stiletto (or stiletto knife) is a kind of knife that differs from most of the knives known. It basically is more similar to a dagger than a regular knife. It features a normal blade, which is long, slender, and has a triangle shape, often ending in a needle-like, sharp tip. Because of the blade’s shape, the stiletto is considered to be used mainly for stabbing, unlike the other knives that are specially designed to cut or slice things.

The stiletto knife is believed to have originated in Italy, during the middle ages. The original design of the knife is quite similar to its modern counterpart although the stiletto’s primary owners have changed. In the very beginning, the stiletto knife was primarily an offensive weapon, which was used by knights as a backup weapon or as a tool to finish off the wounded soldiers. It eventually made its way into the hands of assassins and criminals. It also obtained a bad reputation because of that.

Post world war II, the stiletto knife gained even more fame than before when the knife manufacturers began to produce high-quality real Italian switchblades. It is important to note that not all switchblades are stilettos and not all stilettos are switchblades.

Even though self-defense is just one of them, there are a number of other scenarios where a common knife can be used, such as hunting, opening letters or boxes, cooking, and other such activities. The common knives work in almost all scenarios because of their blade and its shape. Most of the stilettos have different types of blades. it is triangular in shape. This type of blade is specially made to damage the opponent, which is why the stiletto knives are usually used as only inoffensive ordeals.
