This one doesn't have a tang stamp, but it's probably Italian too.

An R. Zafrilla (Albacete, Spain), I believe from the 70s-80s. Manufactured by the son of Ricardo Zafrilla Martínez: Antonio Zafrilla Tobarra. Rescued from a second-hand app.

The acid-etched engraving looks very well preserved to me; it has had a good life, and the snap is still strong. A bit of history...

The R. Zafrilla Cutlery Lineage​

The Family Succession: The continuous use of the "R. Zafrilla" stamp spans nearly a century due to a direct line of succession sharing the same first name. The Zafrilla family is a cornerstone of Albacete's knife-making industry.

  • Ricardo Zafrilla González: Established the commercial brand around 1919. The demountable trench knife was a highly practical, rugged designed for soldiers fighting in the trenches during World War I, and this innovative model was officially registered by Ricardo Zafrilla in Spain and was widely sold to the Allies

  • Ricardo Zafrilla Martínez (Son): Took over in the 1940s. After his passing, his widow, Sara Tobarra Medrano, managed the business until the late 1970s.
  • Ricardo Zafrilla Tobarra (Grandson): Inherited the company in 1978, shifting production toward modern materials like stainless steel.
