Again a non genuine navaja but a folding knife from CORSICA, a Mediterranian island with a long tradition. The figure is that a Moor's head, their flag symbol, the Moor having his eyes covered with a headband before 1755 and after with his eyes uncovered representing their liberation.
I would say this is a modern piece; Vendetta meaning revenge, their traditional mythical culture.
