Traditional Spanish folders

[sevilla]

There´re a lot more than typical navajas here in Spain. First picture shows three folders from Albacete with the classical 'window' lock and lever release, two of them with bull horn scales and last one with deer antler tip handle and, unluckily, stainless steel blade.

In the second picture there´re four friction folders from different places in Spain. All of them have carbon steel blades and wood or deer antler handles.

Hope you like it, and sorry for my English.

Hello Sevilla,
really happy to see someone with the same interests and living close to here I live in Málaga! In the shops here I never found a Navaja in carbon steel, so, where did you get them? directly in Albacete? Last weekend I wanted to buy a "benito" like a Opinel alternative, but they just had INOX happy to see they are available in carbon steel too!

Nice knives, My wife was in Toledo for a few days some time ago but could not find any good navajas for me, plenty of nice enamel though.

Have you seen the work of Montejano in the Gallery forums ? :
