Vince, my daughter bought mine in the workshop of Mariano Zamarano, a famous knife maker in Toledo, Spain. But he apparently keeps some production knives on hand for customers who can't afford his custom blades; these he marks with his blade etch "M.Z. Toledo". My knife has no markings on it that indicate it was made by the Nieto cutlery company, but it's quite obvious that it's the same model as yours. A Spanish BF member explained to me that this is common practice in Spain.
My Peanut-like knife this week is a Case mini copperhead:
My stag/horn knife this week is a Rough Rider medium stag stockman:
My lambsfoot this week is the 2017 Guardians buffalo horn model that I named Lam Jack (thanks, @mrknife):

Now, that's a knife!
Switched over to this old Camillus after dropping a couple of Schrade into mineral oil to begin the flushing of the 50 year old factory oil from the joints. View attachment 1376430

Thank you, GT.
Thank you, Matt.
I like the Hounds Tooth a whole bunch.
Took a while to find one, but totally worth it.
That's a beauty, GT.

These two today. I didn't get to do any cutting (well, I did use some loppers and a hedge trimmer!), but I was rubbing cutting board with mineral oil tonight and decided to use the excess on the two knives I was carrying. Gave them a nice healthy shine, which is less noticeable in the poor indoor lighting at night.

Thanks Gary; that's classic you recall that, as all I remember (from around the 3rd grade) is getting whacked across the knuckles with a ruler for lack of attentiveness!Thanks, JJ.
When I was in high school, the minister at our church required all of us in his "catechism class" to write an outline of the sermon each Sunday morning, including at least his 3 main points. Not hard to see the main points of your triple wharncliffe beauty!
Thank you for your kind words, Jack; if all goes well I won't be cutting myself!!!That's a great photo of two exceptional knife
It looks as though you had an excellent day with your wonderful threesome, out in the wild; very cool!I usually post in this thread each morning, but I went out hiking early today, so it's evening now, and I've had these three with me today
Your daughter certainly picked a beautiful Spanish gem for you; it reminds me of the wonderful Argento conducted 'Espana' by the London Symphony in 1956/57!(Of course, I'm biased due to my daughter giving me this one for my birthday 4 years ago:
Thank you so very much, Harvey!!!Many thanks, JJ. Superb image. Like I’m looking at a cutlery museum display, under glass.
I greatly admire the rich ebony covers on your JB Lamb; another remarkable image and set, as well!JB SFO Ebony Lamb Foot.

That's a heck of a knife Charlie!
Outstanding stag Classic pairing Joshua
I was feeling a bit nostalgic for 2019, so I put this in my pocket for today’s traditional carry.
Excellent photo

I have to say, I've cut myself far more photographing knives, than I ever have using them Thank you very much, I'll be posting some pics in the Guardians thread later These two jacks for Sunday; the big fella is a Camillus made Remington.
I always enjoy seeing these two beauties, both superb
Love the French Ivory and triangular shield on the Remington Hope everyone is having a great weekend
