Hi, this kind of knives are type b, made in the city of Albacete in the 18th century.

Those are part of my collection.

If anyone can visit spain, there is a very nice museum in Albacete. the local Cuterly Museum in albacete created in 2.004 is going all arround Europe showing part of their nice Collection of Spanish knives and folding knives. In their collection they have the Alvarez del Peral collection and a good part of Samuel setian´s collection from Argentina.

Hola OAKSP!

Thats exactly what I was looking for. A group to compare mine with (especiallly the scabbard tip). Is it possible for you to post a larger picture please?
Thanks for sharing

Regards
Gene

P.S. can you explain the classification system for these please? (A-B?)

Right, well apparently I needed to search the web in spanish to find the research material on these.
OAKSP, the material I've seen all identify this type as type-A?
It seems from the singular lack of interest here (and on English language sites) that these are not widely appreciated outside of their native lands.

Shame really, they are rather nice knives.

Hi again !

Your are right, it is type a not b.

I have had problems for over 2 months with my computer at home and have a lot of job to do, lost mails, lost pictures, etc, etc... summer is terribly !!!

I will try to put some more pictures resized concerning to spanish knives (type a and b) and other models from different parts of Spain (Catalunya, Valencia, Aragon, Toledo and Cannary Islands).

There is a big interest on those pieces here in Spain, but they are not easy to find and also because of people are more interested on Navajas rather than knives.

I am sure Carlos, fernando and others will be more helpful than me into this matter.

Regards.

Paco.

Thanks Paco,
I think I am going to have to rely on yourself and other southern European members as I think these are not very popular elsewhere. I have found some good pictures by searching in spanish on the web, but some close-ups of the scabbard tips showing the brass buttons would show me what I need to copy to replace mine.
Thanks
Gene
