thats nice,i have always wondered how good muela knives are,whats the price point on that knife?

 

[TheCarbideRat]

The OP says it's inexpensive, that's good enough for me.

Hey nice knife! I saw some Muelas online some time ago, I like the designs but I did not know about the thickness, thank you on that. Is Muela a family? What does it mean in English? Thanks again, TCR

Muela : Molar ( tooth)

Muela is the surname of Eladio Muela, the founder of the company in 1952 . He was a artisan and he founded the blade company.

It costs about 68 USD in Spain. But may be in US it would cost more. Here's the same, US-made knives are more expensive in Spain than in the U.S.

interesting that the nylon/plastic(?) handle can be slipped off to reveal a full tang blade.
it really doesn't matter if it's inexpensive;
what matters more is that the product comes from a notable company with a solid reputation.
good to note that spain still has spanish made knives...

Is very difficult slip off the plastic handle of this knife. Muela tanto is a good and cheap Knife .

Which letters come after the 440

The knife comes with a life time warranty against factory defects. I have a whole line up of them with stag handles. I have been selling them for years when I was at the Daytona flemarket. Now that I am disabled I am just getting rid of my old stock at the gun and knife shows.
