This website is my personal 'visual bible' whenever I come across one of those old Spanish folding knives that no one seems to know anything about.

It features a comprehensive list with brief explanations (in Spanish) and bibliographic references. You’ll also find a few French tang stamps in there (Spanish market) . While the layout is basic, it’s an excellent starting point for researching, dating, and pinpointing the geographic origin of these pieces.



The list was compiled by the NANVAJA 19 group (web is Navaha 19), which is dedicated to the study and restoration of historical cutlery. I hope I’m not breaking any forum rules by sharing this, as they do sell some pieces on their site. However, the link goes directly to the reference list to avoid any commercial conflict. If anyone feels this post isn't appropriate according to the rules, please let me know.
