Heartwood: The secret to older, harder woods
Trees are not only beautiful natural formations, but their internal structure is fascinating in its composition and functions. One of the most interesting elements is the so-called "heartwood". This wood, which forms the inner part of the trunk, represents the older, harder and deader part of the tree.
However, this density and impermeability give heartwood its unique durability. It is much more durable than the surrounding sapwood, which is why it is often used in the woodworking industry to make quality furniture or build durable structures. This durability is due to the fact that heartwood is impregnated with resins, tannins and other substances that protect it from rot and pests.
Interestingly, although heartwood is technically a "dead" wood, it plays an important role in the structure and life of the tree. It gives the tree strength and stability, allowing it to grow to greater height and width. Without this internal re-growth system, trees would not be able to reach their full size and withstand the rigors of nature.
In short, the Heartwood is a fascinating example of how nature uses even the dead parts of organisms to ensure their long-term survival and growth.

The Italian stiletto knife is an iconic knife that holds a significant place in history and pop culture. Its elegance, pointed shape and precise workmanship make it unique among knives. The stiletto has a rich history that dates back to the Middle Ages, and has become a popular and prized item among collectors and armourers around the world.
The Italian stiletto knife has deep roots in medieval Italy. Its name comes from the Italian word "stilo", meaning "blade". Stiletto knives became a favorite among nobility and soldiers because of their elegant appearance and ability to penetrate between the clothing and armor of the enemy. They were used in both warfare and personal defence.
The stiletto is known for its long and narrow blade, which is typically tipped with a pointed point. Its blade is usually made of stainless steel and is diamond-shaped, giving the knife excellent strength and piercing power. In addition, the typical feature of a stiletto knife is the blade, which is usually made of different materials such as wood, bone or horn. The blade can be decorated with engravings, inlays or even gems, which adds even more aesthetic value to the knife.
The Italian stiletto knife has become an object of fascination not only among collectors, but also in the world of film, literature and music. In many cult films, such as "The Godfather" or "Blade Runner", the stiletto played an important role as a symbol of power, danger or style. It was also widely depicted in the Italian Mafia and its representatives, which contributed to its mystique and popularity. The stiletto has also appeared in song lyrics and in many works of art as an inspiration.
Like many other knives, the stiletto has also been associated with controversy and illegal use. In some countries and jurisdictions, the carrying or possession of the stiletto is restricted by law due to its potential misuse as a weapon. However, it should be noted that in many cases, collectors and lovers of stiletto knives are more fascinated by its historical value and artistic design than by the weapon itself.
