old ( navaja?) folding knife
Hello all !
Waiting for my sikin panjang, I wanted to show you this large interesting navaja with green horn ( I hesitate to post it in european armoury...) the black one is the spanish model I already have. An old, 19th ? century model , It's 55cm long when opened, I think it's still a good size for use it ( not only for deco as when it comes near 80cm, 1 meter long...) the blade is really large and impressive, well made ( looks an old bowie blade ! ) Is it a spanish model ? does anybody know the stamps ? Kind regards |

Cool knives, I like the roach-belly one with the brass tail best. It could peel my apples nicely, or any other task I might require of it within its remit.

Very Nice!
It looks like the decorative file work was only applied to one side of the spine.
Can we see a shot looking downward at this feature please? |

Thank you Rick and Kronckew for your message,
Rick, here is the spine, yes the engravings-deco are only on one side, it make sense when we see the entire back-spine, nice deco too with the nails making a floral deco on the other side of the hilt. I think it's pretty old. For the blade marks, maybe it's JC or JO ?? |

Roach-belly? Haven't heard that term before, nice to know. I'm trying to recall all the cockroaches I've gotten up close to examine, and fail to see where the comparison lies. Maybe I was distracted by the legs so therefore missed something... |

I like file work on a blade. Unfortunately I have no antique examples to show. It surely adds a little class to the look of the knife.

Exactly. Digressing for all y'alls edification: =========Topic Off======= Better view, of mine. The CS site's photo is rather poor. It is a very good utility knife. The fish is tasty, but Bony. Can weigh up to a kilo (2.2lb.). Bet you never considered eating a Roach before.  p.s.- Asians frequently enjoy eating the insects of the same name. We now return you to your regularly scheduled topic - after the pictures: =========Topic On======= Last edited by kronckew : 14th November 2020 at 03:35 PM. |
