Rev,
I gave my daddy one, years ago, when I got back from Spain, after living there for awhile. They are for sale everywhere and I do mean EVERYWHERE over there. I got him the best one I could find out of Toledo. Next time I am over there I'll have a look and tell you what kind it is. Seems like it may be a custom knife, but I can't remember. The gypsies over there carry around HUGE navajas. I think they are more for show than actual use!

I haven´t seen one in a loooong time, I´ve heard most good ones come from Albacete and that many from Toledo are for tourists.

There´s probably some good ones here:

Gave my dad this one:

for his birthday. Not a ratcheting model, but Joker does make some.

Quality is impeccable. Very useful blade shape and absolutely gorgeous horn.

Came sharp enough that it would scrape shave. Not hair poppin', but decent.

I would not hesitate ordering another Joker.

Hope this helps.
