Anybody know any history of this knife???

I don't know but it reminds me of the now discontinued R.E.K.A.T. Knives. Know of anywhere that still caries the R.E.K.A.T. line?
 
Dont know anything about it.

BUt I first saw this thread earlier tonight, and while searching ebay tonight, I accidently found this one. So you can buy another.:). The price might tell you something.;)

Try searching "Muela" on ebay.:)
 
Just as a little info...
The brand name is Muela, what looks like a Y is really the head of a buck with their TM 2 Ms, (The one of the two "M" s), between the antlers. The family has been making knives for several generations.

I think they use a 440 with molybdenum-vanadium added. They make nice looking, inexpensive production knives, (about on par with CRKT I'd say), and some very nice semi-custom models as well.
I have a crown stag handled bowie style, and I gave a smaller rubber handled camp knife as a gift for Christmas, and it was well received.

The polymide handle has been taped over, and the knife has seen some use, but it is a Muela ALCE utility knife. The knife is an inexpensive commercial rendition of the Aitor made fighting knives issued to the Spanish Special Forces units.

I taped over the handled shortly after buying it, the hard plastic checkering tore my hand up while chopping a 3" sapling down with it. After taping, it never did bothered me again. For a cheap knife, this one has sure taken some abuse, and after sitting put away until yesterday for many years, a few strokes on a DMT diamond hone had it "spyderco sharp" in no time.
 
Muela and Aitor are excellent knife values which are too often overlooked in the US.
