I'm stiletto addicted, too. I panic when I've temporarily misplaced it! The one I use is from Clover; the handle feels very comfortable in my hand.

I use a tweezer. About 8 inches long with pointy ends. I can hold or align something easily with it and keep my fingers out of trouble.
If my memory serves me, DH bought at a woodworking store. Occasionally I wonder what in the world a woodworking enthusiast would use it for.

My friend made me a stiletto using a turkey lacer and fancy beads, it is so cute. I am not good at posting pictures, but if you google how to make a stiletto using a turkey lacer, the directions come up.
