looking for name of knife

[cjg1941]

Howdy folks, I am wanting to know the name of a knife I saw in a movie. The name of the movie was "The Pride and the Passion" It starred Cary Grant and Frank Sinatra, circa 1957. In the flick, Frank Sinatra plays a Spanish resistance fighter during some war or another, and carries this very large folding knife. I have been searching for a knife like this but don't know the name, style or manufacturer
Any help would be appreciated. Thanx, c.j.g.

Generally that large folding knife is known as a Navaja (I believe with the j pronounced as 'h'). Here is an example:
