Knife ID?? Cool field knife from the 1980s(?)

[scdub]

Hey Folks,

One of my partners asked me about a knife and I can’t identify it.

He said his brother got it as a gift after retiring from the Air Force in Spain in 1982.

The only markings are shown in the below picture. The blade is marked:
TOLEDO
INOX
PAT
The sheath has an imprint of a stag

Toledo is a city in Spain, and INOX is short for inoxidable, Spanish for “stainless”.



Not interested in value, just any maker info, etc.

Thanks!

There are a few knife manufacturers in Spain. Aitor, Muela, Miguel Nieto, and Joker come to mind. Most of them have large fixed blades among their offerings.
I don't recognize the specific knife, but you might try perusing those brands on a couple of the larger knife purveyor sites.

Just gonna bump this once for fresh eyes… Look familiar to anyone? If not I’ll start looking through the brands suggested above.

Looks kind of Aitor-ish to me.

I don't know which model it is, but it's a Muela knife. Here's an old Muela (supposedly from the 1950s) with a sheath bearing that same stag embossing.

I'm revisiting some of my old knife magazines these days. If I run across an ad identifying your friend's knife, I'll let you know.

The Stag imprint is a clear piece of information to investigate. Was it coincidental? Deliberate? Symbolic?

This knife looks like their answer to a Puma White Hunter. Nice looking knife. John

This is correct, it’s a vintage Muela.



I found it on a Spanish forum. Link:

Cuchillo Muela antiguo con marcaje INOX PAT

Hola compañeros, hace tiempo que no posteo nada, en parte porque en verano está todo bastante paradito y en parte porque no he tenido mucho tiempo. Hace unos días dando un paseo por Palma, ví en una vitrina de una tienda de recuerdos unos cuchillos que parecían Muela, le pedí al dependiente...

Ha that’s crazy - I was pretty sure it was an Aitor due to the handle and sertation similarities with the knife in post #4, but it’s an EXACT match for the ones in the post above. Thanks guys!
