Oh, Fernando, you are quite something...you don´t forget even to make irony. Well, in my country is not prohibited to have navajas of any size...only to stick them to a neighbor...but authorities are lenient about this...since people is machinegunned on the streets by a dozens every day...a matter of priorities. ![]() ![]() So, I am open to receive gifts, specially a navaja de carraca, since I don't have any. Never did. Though I have examined some of them... Regards |

Here's a little one I picked up some years ago.
Six inches open; 5 clicks with the last one being the lock. |

At least it makes the desired sound when opening.

Sometimes when I watch Forged in Fire I feel so stupid. I have seen and may even have antique examples of what the smiths are to make - but I never recall having heard the terminology before. While attempting to clear some of the accumulations of modern life in my attic I have found - buried in a stack of old magazines - an important reference to ethnographic arms in popular American culture - the Atlanta Cutlery catalog for 1996!
Peripherally relevant to this thread, here are listings for the noisy navaja! |

A rather opportune entry, Lee.
... And a very 'romantic' means to expose the carraca noise saga; not without a pretty fair dosis of realism, though. Thanks for sharing that paper. |

Here is one I picked up from an "Artes de Toledo" shop in Catalonia about 15 years ago which is a dead ringer in dimensions and weight etc. to the first illustration in Lee`s Atlanta Cutlery catalogue.

"Parece que antes había En la venta del Candil Un enano que tenía Voz equivalente a mil". As if the bragging dwarf freqüented a determined Inn, that of Candil. I accidently see that the term appears often in Cervantes work where, for one, Dom Quixote envisions all Ventas as Castles. |
