Just got this beautiful Navaja at the local flea market, for about 2$...
This is a Spanish Navaja made by Julián Galván, born in Santa Cruz de Mudela in 1922, the son of Julián Galván Arroyo, from whom he learned the craft is considered the best craftsman of the twentieth century posthumously. It was first prize of Handicraft in Cutlery of the Provincial Exhibition, in the year 1974.
Nowadays, and due to the reluctance of his last years of life to sell pieces of collection of his property made during his whole life, the knives that this craftsman made are considered works of art and extremely valued for their scarcity.
Three and a half hours of restoration work, polishing and sharpening of the blade. I hope you like it..
