Default Spanish Albacete Knife I think

Hi All
I purchased a few knives as a job lot and I am a bit unsure on this one is it a Spanish Albacete or a Canaries islands knife as it seems to have elements of both, very well made and the brass inlay is on both sides and very well performed,
Opinions and insight on what I have welcome.
Regards
Ken

Hi Ken,

Could even be very well a South American knife!

You're welcome Ken! I would recommend to move this thread to the ethno forum.
