Nja, jag föredraga dammiga sportsandaler, korta fransiga shorts samt skrikig skjorta som klädsel vid kvällarnas tavernabesök i övärlden....

A
stiletto is a short
knife or
dagger with a long slender blade of various designs. This blade is primarily a
stabbing weapon: its narrow shape, ending in a rigid pointed end, allows it to penetrate deeply. It is not suited for
cutting, even with edged examples. A typical early stiletto was a one-piece cast-metal handle and blade, which was then hammer-forged in a V-groove anvil, producing a triangular blade cross section without any sharpened edges. Other examples have round, square, and diamond cross sections. The word
stiletto may sometimes be used in
American English to refer to a
switchblade.
Stiletto may also be used specifically for a knife exhibiting the same triangular cross-section and hollow grind as a
small sword,
rapier, or
épée.
