Hola Fernando,

That navaja style is most definitely French, more specifically from Thiers.

I always wondered whether those sold with Valero Jun stamped into the blade, were made in Spain or under contract in France and merely retailed under his name.

The ones that I have seen appear to be of above average quality, for Spanish knives, strongly suggesting that they were actually made in France. A few were of poor quality, more consistent with Spanish folders, and suspect that these were local copies of the French made navajas.

Cheers
Chris
