stiletto
A stiletto () is a knife or dagger with a long slender blade and needle-like point, primarily intended as a stabbing weapon.〔Limburg, Peter R., ''What's In The Names Of Antique Weapons'', Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, ISBN 0-698-20233-3, ISBN 9780698202337 (1973), pp. 77-78〕〔''Secret Arms'', The Saturday Review, London: Spottiswoode & Co., Vol. 77 No. 2,002 (10 March 1894), pp. 250-251〕
The stiletto blade's narrow cross-section and acuminated tip reduces friction upon entry, allowing the blade to penetrate deeply.〔〔Atkins, Anthony G., ''The Science and Engineering of Cutting: The Mechanics and Processes of Separating, Scratching, and Puncturing Bio-Materials, Metals, and Non-Metals'', London: Elsevier Ltd., ISBN 978-0-7506-8531-3 (2009), p. 214〕 Some consider the stiletto a form of dagger, but most stilettos are specialized thrusting weapons not designed for cutting or slashing, even with edged examples.〔〔Cassidy, William L., ''The Complete Book Of Knife Fighting'', ISBN 0-87364-029-2, ISBN 978-0-87364-029-9 (1997), pp. 9-18, 27-36〕 Over time, the term ''stiletto'' has been used as a general descriptive term for a variety of knife blades exhibiting a narrow blade with minimal cutting surfaces and a needle-like point, such as the U.S. V-42 stiletto, while in American English usage, the name ''stiletto'' can also refer to a switchblade knife with a stiletto- or bayonet-type blade design.〔Zinser, Tim, Fuller, Dan, and Punchard Neal, ''Switchblades of Italy'', Paducah, KY: Turner Publishing Co., ISBN 1-56311-933-1 (2003), pp. 5, 8, 69, 85〕 The term in plural "stilettos", is also used as slang for a long, thin, high heel (stiletto heel) for certain boots and shoes, usually for women.
