Massive Vintage Stiletto / One of a kind...unique and wicked…


New York City. 1977

Some now call it The Summer of Sam.

Everyone was on edge as somebody was blowing people away with a 44 Magnum.


That June was a hot one.

Beyond the headlines and growing panic in the streets of Brooklyn, the street gangs ruled and menaced the streets. (Ever seen the movie: The Warriors?)

Tensions were running high between The Courtyard Saints and the hated rival Black Pearls. On the last day of school, colors were donned as things had come to a full boil.


The schoolyard stunk of piss and despair. The street-lights reflected off the broken glass scattered about the schoolyard as the two gangs swaggered in for their showdown.

There was nothing remotely secretive as one set came in from one street and the other from the other block. Neighbors stood on their stoop in horror as over 50 soldiers per side formed up silently keeping a safe distance. None scattered as this was building up to be quite a spectacle.


Everyone knew that The Courtyard Saints would not make a move until “Terror” Donnelley showed up to lead them into battle.


By now, New York’s Finest arrived on the scene to do all they could to avert the clash.

Unfortunately, there was little they could do about a gathering in a schoolyard of a bunch of muscled teens in denim and leather.

This was a time when few gangs were armed with guns and often fights were limited to guys going at it from the shoulders. A few punches, maybe some stitches, a belt buckle across the head but nothing too much as NYPD was on the scene and no one dared have any weapons showing…In those days it was much more of a macho subculture and fist-fights never left anyone dead.


On the other hand, nobody was gonna be the first to leave at suggestions of dispersing by the cops. Blood would be spilled. Legends were to be made.


Just as things were starting to stall, who should saunter into the schoolyard like Hector coming out of the gates of Troy, but the fearsome and giant “Terror” Donnelley. At 6’ 4” with blazing blue eyes and long blond hair, conversation froze as the warlord took the field. Tonight, The Courtyard Saints would reign.


Officer Malavida approached him to advise him to have The Saints stand down and for everybody to cool off and go home. All eyes were on Terror.

Drunk. Belligerent. And full of a holy rage that The Pearls were gonna taste.


He turned to his warriors and that’s all NYPD needed.

Poking out of his Levi’s was the monster being offered here today.

Over a foot long of lethal steel. Sharp, huge and evil. Both Terror and his pocket sword alike. Malavida motioned to his fellow officers and they fell on Terror like a tidal wave of blue.


It took five of them to get him in the squad car that night. In the melee, and booking later on, Terror also had a half-gram of Bolivian Marching Powder on him. The knife possession charge was never even made as the charge for possession of the disco dust would prove a much better bust. (Shit like that happened back then…)


40+ years later, Terror’s “pocket sword” has surfaced.


It is over 14 ½ inches long opened and over 8 inches closed.

Seems to be a hardwood handle and in very clean condition. Couple of dings and scratches. I imagine it has had some sharpening / modifications. I have never seen anything like it! Locks up fairly tight but it ain’t made to be a bank vault. Straight and sharp and maybe first time out of a glycine evidence bag since Jimmy Carter was in office. This knife is a stunning relic from a time in New York City when pride ran deep and hearts were strong. I want buyers to know that this is not a knife for the faint of heart. Nor is it something that should be carried. Police simply wouldn’t like it. There are no museums that I know of for the weapons of NYC street gangs, but if there was...this one should be in it. Anyone who sees it or handles it will definitely mumble a “wow”.

Think of it as a conversation starter...or a conversation ender.

Truly iconic piece of pocket cutlery that is a must for any collector of stilettos or interesting knives. Watch The Outsiders or The Warriors, you’ll feel the vibe.


See my other sales too…Selling a massive collection that was curated and previously owned by a retired NYC Policeman who gave me his collection.

Good luck offerding. Please do not let expectations exceed reality. Know that my description of item and events surrounding it and the narrative presented are naturally subject to interpretation and poetic license.

Other items in photos serve only to help portray and display the knife and NOT part of the sale.

By offerding you are attesting to the fact that you are 18 years old and allowed to possess this item.
