Outstanding!
It does have a certain arabic-berberian look to it. Were the arabs ever in the Canarias? BTW, the exact term is "falTriquera", a very old term for pocket or bag... So, the "naif de faltriquera" is an antique... pocket knife! Regards M Quote:

Hi Manuel, Thank you very much  I'm not sure if there is any arabic influence in the Canaries? It does however make a nice companion for the rather elegant 'cousin' I have from Albacete. I got the name from this page: http://www.pardelera.com/Webnaife/tipologia.htm Pocket or Bag knife would make sense considering the small size, I couldn't find a translation of 'Faldriquera', so its interesting to find the origin of the word, thanks again. The ones with a blade of 15cm or less are apparently called 'Cuchillete' lol, little 'knifette'. Mine has a blade of 16cm, so according to that site falls into the next size category. Assuming my auto translation of the page is reliable. I do agree also that everyone was right, it is better without the raised disks  Regards Gene Last edited by Atlantia; 28th July 2009 at 06:38 PM. |
