Stiletto body types other than CS ti lite

Thanks Sharp Phil! anyone else have any recommendations? i actually bought a ti lite and i really dig it. i like the more modern zytel handle a lot
 
there is the benchmade 530, the though 530 is a much smaller, lighter knife

Hen & Rooster also makes a modern version of the classic stiletto. The handle is aluminum and the button unlocks the blade. I borrowed the picture from a web site but I do have one and it's not bad for a $30 knife.

I got about 6 from SMKW and a few more from EBAY, but they are not made anymore. Frank Beltrame had them listed for abit but no anymore.....
 
Everytime I see a photo of the BM Pardue I lament the fact that it's so diminutive. If this knife were a 4" blade folder it might well be my favourite folder of all time based on appearance. I bought one once, but couldn't think of a reason why I should carry such a small folder, when they are larger ones available, so I exchanged it for a bigger knife.
 
Hello! I myself do not consider the BM530 (a knife i LOVE,) to be a stiletto. I would say that all stilettos are daggers, but not all daggers are stilettos. As far as I know, the general consensus on the definition of a stiletto (as far as I know) would be a dagger style knife, with a narrow blade such as the Ti-Lite you spoke of. Some 3 edged daggers with a narrow cross-section were considered stilettos. In fact some of these 3 edged stilettos had edges that were not sharpened. The sharp point combined with the narrow profile of the blade allowed for a very nice stabbing usage, that left behind that nice triangular hole, allowing blood to escape freely. My Randall #2, my very old Gerber Mark 1's, 2's and Guardians are all considered daggers not stilettos. No matter what we call them though, both wide and narrow configurations, they are indeed beautiful knives. They may not be as utilitarian as other styles of knives, but they certainly are very effective at what they were designed to do!
 
If you're okay with automatics, you might look into the Protech Godfather., Godson and Don.
 
If you like the Ti-Lite looking knives, there is some Fury knife that looks just like the Ti-Lite but with faux wood scales. I got mine at a gun show for free when I bought something else.
