KNIFE MAKING SPANISH NAVAJA

Hello
This is the (personal) reproduction of the classic Spanish pocket knife from the 17th and 18th century.
Napoleon's brother banned swords and the Spanish resistance made huge folding knives to defend themselves from the invader, besides firearms. Finally they went to their country.
These knives (bandolero style) were the inspiration for the famous bowie knife.
This particular blade has a rounded tip, it is designed to penetrate and not break. In the original design, the blade of the knife was wider at the tip, in my case it is the same thickness throughout the blade. Of course they didn't have 3d printers, they used a bull or deer horn. As I have already said it is a personal reproduction.
Today there are still some master knife craftsmen in Spain who make exact and wonderful reproductions of these knives, for instance Luis Vergara google (navaja clasica española siglo 18)

La tipica navaja Sevillana....en la ciudad de SEVILLA ( España)....tambien llamada de muelles,aunque no los lleve,se le dice muelle a la cantidad de piñones que lleva la rueda dentada al final de la hoja ,que le hace hacer ese ruido tan peculiar al abrirla...si contais los clic ,vereis que esa navaja se llamaria de ocho muelles.
Un arma tremendamente peligrosa por su poder de penetracion
Le felicito por trabajo que hace usted y por ser fiel al modelo de navaja

As I knife maker, I can tell you right now, the fact that you did this without even using a belt grinder is impressive. Love the ingenuity of design your operating with.

[@zZz777]

Wow, Thank you.

You're attention to detail is amazing. The mechanism of operation was awesome to say the very least. As for using what's to hand. The finished article is outstanding. Congratulations on spurring me on to make something similar. Can't wait to get started.

Beautifully made. Although not my style, I still would love to own this one. Be proud of your work.

[@zZz777]

Thank you, I understand. This type of knife was designed for personal defense 18th and19th centuries, basically to kill. That is why has a strong and rounded tip. But I like it and I always wanted to have one.

I, JOAQUIN PEREZ-LOPEZ, MADE THIS EXACT KNIFE!!!!!!!!💯😎👼🏽
Dominos and Dice... 🎲
Domino = in Spanish, I dominated
Dice = slice n dice 'em
Because normally Spanish speakers eat spicy foods, it also has to remind one of a Chile serrano, or a pepper, or a jalapeno, etc... And the elegance of the thick and bold to slim and curved design really gives it a Spanish speaking remembrance 💯😎👼🏽🇲🇽🎲
Kind of like the 7 Spanish Angels that took another angel home ❤️‍🔥
