Hi, I'm asking someone knowledgeable about classic Albacete knives... I bought this on a second-hand app — Celaya?
It really looks like it. Blade: 8,5 cms to the bolster. Is it stainless steel? (I think carbon steel or ferritic) with bone handles, and I’d estimate it dates from the late ’70s to the ’90s. Although the rivet on the bolster suggests it might be older. The shield is from Albacete, even if it looks like a ‘T’.
Edited this post...
The same seller has this Navarro; it's very similar and seems to be from the same period, but I see some obvious differences:
Or is the difference just the size and the fact that they are handmade? Me searching all over the internet... and then this guy has one so similar!
