Default How Navajas Are Made

Hi Folks,

Here is a wonderful Spanish film on how classy navajas are hand crafted by a master cutler, using very basic tools. The naration is in Spasnish, but the pics say it all.

As can be seen, the process is extremely labor intensive and requires skills that take many years to acquire. And of course, this also explains for the very high prices that these hand made marvels command.
