Muella knives?

From what I've read, Muella makes excellent knives. They're a small family owned company.
 
last i heard muella was owned by a much larger company.
I own 2 muelas and i think they're great.
I like the look of that knife too, however i would be wary of the "440 stainless" steel. Anyone that lists 440 and not 440C is probably not using 440C
 
I have a Muela Mirage , had it for like 10-15 years , takes a good edge , shaving sharp,
nice design , I think it´s 440B , not completely sure though .

a decade or so ago, I had this enormous bowie that was made by Muella (Spain). Nice piece but I never actually tested it. I gave it to an employee as a gift.
 
I have a beautiful Muela Alamo Bowie with stag scales that i had reground by Mike Stewart at Bark River that is just awsome--all blade logos removed and convexed edge--he even laser eched it custom 2006--a great hair poppin blade
Have had a few Muela's over the years and have pleased with everyone--:D
 
My recently deceased outdoor buddy carried a 8.5 in muela bowie with a little piggyback knife for 20+yrs of hunting and fishing. A moose and 2 deer a year for as long as I was friends with him.
He loved it and his best friend (and mine)has it now. I am not much for stainless but they are pretty good knives.
Hopefully he is in a boat with his flask of black sambuca and a flyrod.

just checked the link and if you like it I can't see it not treating you right.

Muela is not a bad brand.
some of their stuff looks a bit "mall ninja" or "weekend warrior" oriented, but for the most part they make servicable tools.

I have one of those. :o
Actually, aside from looking a bit ridiculous, though I've seen worse, it's still a pretty decent knife. It's the one with green handles and the serated back edge.

This one:
 
Keep in mind that many European manufacturers stayed with 440 steels (probably 440A or modified) long after the US upgraded to wonderful supersteels like AUS-8. :)

They got very good at heat treating it. Many older Laguioles used it in ordinary working knives, even at softer RC then we like.

Some of those Muela "mall ninja" knives are probably legitimate military models. They overlap with some outdoor use, which is why we see them on the open market.
 
Muela makes some serviceable knives.

That said, they don't find much favor with knife-nuts, afficionados and blade steel snobs.

Honestly, I just don't know how my Grandfather and Father got through their many decades of living, fishing, hunting, farming, working etc. without a multitude of knife types, blade profiles and super-steels!

I remember watching my Grandfather sharpening a working knife first with a file...then moving to a stone. Honestly, the middle of that stone was easily more than an inch lower than both ends! It worked for him...and us kids.

I have a stubby little skinner from them with a pakkawood handle. Seems well made, but I don't know about edge retention as I've never actually used it. It was an impulse purchase. ><
 
The Magnum Alcaraz was carried by Pearce Brosnan in the movie Seraphim Falls. He did some nasty things with it :thumbup:

I have had several and still have a couple, for the money, I never found a thing wrong with them.

I used to watch my Grandpa set on that old pedal grinder sharpening his only outdoor knife, which he made himself. Along with a ax and a bow saw he could hold his own in the woods. Yes he did it without a Busse or a RAT. Who would have believed it. Would I love to go back to those days? Hell NO. We didn't have electricity. Running water was me with two buckets. Milking all those darn cows morning and night 365 days a year, seemed like more.:grumpy: It didn't matter how hot or cold it was, if you were sick or well, those critters had to be milked. I was also one of the milking machines.:)

My Muela is in the front on the left. It has Ruko etched on the other side of the blade, which is apparently a company that imports Muela's and sells them here in North America. It came with a very nice leather sheath, surprisingly nice. I can take a picture of the sheath and more of the knife if anyone actually cares. ;)
