2 Attachment(s)
Hi all , this small little knife caught my eye though im unsure of its origin , it was sold as being middle eastern ? the blade has a mark on it , the handle is horn with brass inlay, its is a locking knife and the brass work has very fine decoration which is worn and hardly visable ,only measures 12cm long

It looks like a picklock Navaja of some sort; possibly Spanish or French.
The picklock is a feature new to my experience with Navaja's, not that I've seen that many. :shrug: |
Yes, it's a Spanish navaja! :)
|
Thats great thanks for the Id :)

I've been absent for quite some time and have years of threads to catch up on so I might as well start at the top. That's some exceptional detail about the locality, I would have only drilled sown to Catalan but note upon a little reading, Rosellon was a county in Catalan. Thank you. Gavin |

In Spanish these knives are are known as "Navajas de Rosellon", or "Navaja Catalana" so that makes identification easy. Here is a link to lots of pics: https://www.google.com/search?q=nava...w=1024&bih=655 Cheers Chris |
