K-Bars who makes a decent stiletto?

[...]

looking for a decent knife to carry in a suit, looking for a stiletto or dagger blade...most of what im finding is import garbage with Stainless blades.

preferably something in an Auto.....preferably something with Ivory/ bone/ horn handles (nothing "tactical").....not too picky on blade steel, just something that can hold an edge.

under $500 would be preferable.

The Pro-Tech "Don" is very nice and I would recommend it for any formal dinner party. It comes with a wide array of handle choices.

Fairbairn Sykes.

One of my favorites

Microtech Combat Trodoon or Dirac Delta OTF's with dagger blades. Benchmade Infidel is another OTF with a dagger blade.

"Nothing 'tactical'"? This is Sniper's Hide, get with the program!

On a more serious note, here are some ideas from a quality retailer, with whom I have spent way to much coin. A few in your price range, most higher:

Listen, I've already got a custom suit on order....but the missus told me i couldn't wear a saber to our wedding, so I've settled on a PPK in a shoulder holster and stiletto......have the ppk and holster on order.....just need the blade

The Microtech is pretty slim profile and would be within budget; remove the glass breaker for tuxedo wear.

Would look best in a tux wearing P7 and matching pumps.

Stiletto? the left one is an Ek/Spartan that is fairly handy. For BBQ, I'd go with the middle from the Busse custom shop, or step into the wayback for the Gerber Mk II I bought back ~ 1978.

o?

 

[brt1963]

but if I'm all dressed up, it's a Sig P210 and a nice William Henry...

Microtech is top notch. You will have money left over for cocktails and desert.

I have a lightning otf, they are cheap but rugged. Also it doesnt hurt to give them away when someone gets a cool boner over them. I had a double sided one i gave away recently, this one has been tun thru the ringer for the last 5 years or so. Its my go to carry knife.

Did she offer to let you pick her dress?

Guardian tactical recon. IMO a better knife than the microtech. FYI my hands are very large so it’s not a tiny knife. Wife hears that all the time lol.

 

[redneckbmxer24]

Protech The Don or Godfather is what you're looking for. Excellent knives.

A knowledgeable friend suggested Heretic Knives Manticore-E OTF DA's for the quality per price they represent.

We had a nasty old bastard (RM) show us some of the Fairbairn "Defendu" moves, and skills with a dagger.
The guy was magic.Not same bloke in vid, but same skills and mentality.
He was in his late 60's, but still a fucking menace with a dagger.
Bless his nasty black heart.
