Corsica is a large island off the southern coast of France. It’s famous for giving birth to the concept of the “Vendetta” or blood feud. Corsica’s modern political climate is rather stable now, but in centuries past it was anything but. Justice was almost unknown and taking it into one’s own hands was the only route available. On many occasions a minor insult would escalate into entire families and even villages feuding for many years! One vengeful murder would spawn another and, while firearms were often involved, it was the knife, or more particularly, the easily concealed Stiletto, with its long thin blade and narrow sharp point, that became the weapon of choice.
Around the world robberies, home invasions, rape, car jackings, murder and various terrorist attacks are crimes that threaten Americans, and the need for a slim, light, easily concealed dagger goes unabated. That’s why we have introduced our own Stiletto and named it the Corsican in honor of the island that inspired it. Designed for Cold Steel by custom knife maker Bud Nealy, it’s an elegantly simple design that’s focused on one mission…the thrust. The point of its narrow triangular shaped blade is quite sharp and acute, yet surprisingly sturdy due to its uniquely faceted tip. It’s skillfully crafted from AUS8AUS-8 Metal: A high-carbon, low chromium stainless steel, which offers a good balance of toughness, edge sharpness and corrosion resistance.
The handle is fashioned from polished MicartaMicarta Material:
Layers of linen cloths soaked in resin and pressured together. Most commonly used on more stylish knives due to its rich finish qualities. Available in colors. Full Tang Knife: A full tang is the width of the handle and is designed to have scales (sides) attached pinned or riveted into it.
The Corsican comes complete with a slim, light Secure-Ex® SheathA method for carrying a knife, tool, light, etc., on your belt, pack or anywhere a strap is. Sheaths are made of ballistic nylon, leather, kydex and various other materials. Sheaths usually come with a Velcro or snap closure.
