Beltrame knives have been made in Italy since 1953. The company was founded by Frank Beltram. The secret of making these Stiletto knives is part of Maniago’s history, which has been passed down from father to son. As a small boy, Frank helped in his father’s factory, where he later began working as his father’s apprentice. In addition, he attended a school of traditional cutlery, where he learned all about different materials, the latest processing technologies and different design styles. In 1958, Frank and his family started making automatic knives. A year after Frank’s father died of a heart attack while working at the factory, Frank founded the company Beltrame. In the following years, he continued to study and research knives, suitable materials and design. After a short time, cheap imitations from Taiwan appeared on the market, traditional Italian Stiletto knives. So Frank had to face a new problem. Fortunately, the quality of these inexpensive knives speaks for itself, every collector knows that there is no way to compare them to a genuine Beltrame dagger. Beltrame knives have won the recognition of the most demanding customers in the world thanks to Frank’s passion for these knives. When making knives, he uses his many years of experience, which he acquired at an early age. In 2005, Beltrame knives received the Maniago quality certificate, with which they exceeded European quality standards. This means that these knives are tested for material quality every year.
