Ive always been a fan of big knives, the bigger the better 
I picked up a Cuda Maxx 5.5 and CS Voyager X2 and love them both (the Cuda is my EDC). After reading a bit on the X2, I found out it was patterned after the Spanish Navaja. Well I was hooked and really wanted one to look at and fiddle with.
After some Internet research, I found quite a few places that sell Navajas but all of them were more money than I wanted to spend without actually looking at it first hand. So off to eBay and for less than 40USD I have my new toy:
Here is my Navaja beside a Spyderco Delica:

And just to show how big it is, here it is beside my Voyager X2:

So, a little about my Navaja. The blade is 9.5 inches long and has an overall length of 20.5 inches (yes, very big). The liner/bolsters look to be a single solid cast unit (mystery metal) with real (mystery) wood handles. It has Rebel Edge on one side of the blade and China Stainless on the other. A Spanish knife made in China, will wonders never cease
Overall Im pretty happy, got a big-a** knife and spent less than 40USD including S&H to Canada.
Would I trust it as a weapon NO ! ! ! Does it make me giggle MOST DEFINITELY ! ! !
