Befitting the Italian title of The Grand or The Great, this deluxe 9.5 inch version of the Italian Milano Stiletto has a piercing pin point tip and razor-sharp edge. The sharp silver kriss-style blade on this addition to the legendary stiletto line cuts to the core. Arguably the most difficult blade profile to make and derived from Indonesian cultural customs, the merit and value of a Kriss blade is determined largely by the number of undulations. A second key factor is the median ridge. It should flow smoothly and follow the undulations of the edges perfectly just as this one does. Many Kriss blades have 13 undulations, in Indonesian culture, 13 is seen as a lucky or even magical number. The Rosewood handle has a smooth look that does not diminish its usefulness housing a swift automatic switch that makes rapid deployment a breeze and a handy safety mechanism to prevent accidental deployment. 2.9 mm thick and 4 inches long, the piercing bayonet-style blade extends its pin-point tip out to a 9.5 inch overall length. Shiny brass rivets and a gold-plated lining adorn the solid and well-constructed ABS handle. Includes a FREE black nylon sheath with sturdy belt loop. Overall Length: 9.5 Inches Blade Length: 4 Inches Blade Material: Stainless Steel with Silver Finish Blade Style: Bayonet/Kriss-style Blade Thickness: 2.9mm Handle Length: 5.5 Inches Handle Material: Rosewood with Brass Rivets Includes: Free Nylon Case with Belt Loop

The safety switch on this one has a slight issue. The wood around the safety button is kind of chewed up. Its because the button or switch does not seem to be seated properly. This is also making it hard to close the knife.
I only bought one of these so it might be that it is the only one with a problem. The chris blade makes this knife stand out. if it came with a rainbow blade and other colors/styles for the handle I would be more interested. as it is I may order one more to see what condition it is in. if it looks okay I will order more in the future
