The Making Of A Navaja

[Chris Evans]

Hi Folks,

This is a link to the first of a six part series on the making an Alabacete style navaja by hand. This is the most detailed film on the subject that I know of.

Very interesting, thanks for posting this.
As one who is mostly self taught, this was very interesting to watch. The hacksaw blade was a novel usage.
I may have to try something with a horn handle some day!

(for scale, larger one (6 in. blade) is 13" from point to end of the grip when opened fully, the baby one is 7in. (3in. blade))
