Knife with a Spanish Influence?

Lee · 22nd November 2025, 08:08 AM

Indeed, the sheath is much too well made to have been anyone's first or early attempt, so I began to consider just what blade profile that 'reversed polarity' would fit. I laid the knife over the sheath and that suggested it could possibly fit in the right way. So, I very carefully inserted the knife in that way with a bit more force than on previous attempts. Not as smooth, but no serious resistance either, though it finishes ever so slightly crooked at the interface between the sheath mouth and guard. So perhaps, in the end, this couple was made for one another. If I store it another fifty years this way around, perhaps the sheath will re-adapt?
