Hi carlos, I see. Thats even more of a burn that I got rid of the larger one I had. You can see what I mean by small though? Its tiny compared with the type A that I've got:

 Keep looking, you'll find one eventually. I've been looking for a while now to get this type B. Would you post a picture of your 5 examples? I'd very much like to see them. Next I would like a lantern hilted one, pierced blade type B, or type A with 'offset hilt'. They are beautiful! Best Gene |

What is the size range from smallest to largest? I've heard that the pierced blades are for poison, do you think that is true? What about age? You have a great collection, something for me to aspire toward. Thanks for sharing. Best Gene |

Hello! The bigger has 13 in and the smaller has 8.5 in. In Spain this type of knives are easy to find and not very expensive, 100 euros to up, the age are from end of XIX century. I know a book, with more information about Albacete cutlery, " INTRODUCCION AL ESTUDIO DE LA CUCHILLERIA ARTISTICA DE ALBACETE". Best regards carlos |

To place yarns while fixing boat sails.
BTW, this type of knife was brought to the Philippines by the Spanish, and it is still being made there, _exactly as it was during the 18-19th Cs._ From what I remember, it was also made in Spanish America, namely Mexico and Peru. Best M Quote:

There's two at Victor Balaguer museum, near Barcelona (pics below).
I also two to three such daggers in Museo Oriental in Valladolid, Spain (grouped under the Philippine collection). Thanks. |
