Rare antique German combination scissors and stiletto push dagger, originally designed as a discreet personal-defense tool. This unusual dual-purpose piece features a steel scissor mechanism that conceals a narrow stiletto-style blade when gripped in the closed position. The handles are fitted with elegant mother-of-pearl scales secured by small brass pins, adding both refinement and visual appeal. Maker’s mark is present on the steel at the joint. A standout addition for collectors of European curiosities, defensive tools, or unique edged weapons.
