The Stiletto was a European thrusting dagger first developed in Italy. The entire weapon was usually forged of a single piece of steel. The blade was long, narrow, and triangular or rectangular sectioned without a cutting edge. Adept at inflicting deep puncture wounds and even piercing light armor, the stiletto was a popular secondary weapon for soldiers and citizens alike. The stiletto was particularly popular among assassins because of its narrow width and ease of concealment.
