The knife is what it is.Jun 22, 2010
By Tobias, Son of Floyd
The knife is a reproduction of a 17th century Spanish folder known as the Navaja or Carraca. It really isn't a fighting knife and wasn't meant to be, even in the 17th century. It is a big bladed toothpick style designed for light duty work such as cutting leather strips or small pieces of meat. The repro has a nice to look and a decent finish. The knife would work well as a fancy letter opener or for light duty work such as cutting hunks of cheese or cutting up slices of melon or jabbing it into a slab of meat and eating it off the blade at a Renaissance Fair . The blade is sharp enough and sturdy enough for these duties but quite frankly if you're picking it up for self-defense you'll be sorry.
For some reason novice knife enthusiasts assumes every knife with a clipped point was designed for fighting. This is not the case. The unfortunate problem with this posting is the the title used. It is not a tactical folder. While the knife is famous for being used by bandits, that wasn't its intended purpose and the ones used by bandits normally had much larger blades 7 to 9 inch blades .
Where this knife shines is if you're into Renaissance Fairs or Pirate re-enactments. This knife would make a great prop for such events. If you know a thing or two about Navajas then you can open this knife with the flick of the wrist. However, most people not familiar with the knife will try to do this while holding the handle (it'll never work). In reality you need to hold the blade between your thumb and curled fist with the blade up and pointing away from you. A quick flick of the wrist and the knife is open, then you reposition your hand slightly and let the knife fall into your open palm. If you don't know how to do it, have someone show you so you don't cut yourself or break the knife. Unlike the real deal, the knife doesn't have a lock or make the familiar ratcheting sound when opening.
In all, it looks nice, and is worth the $8-10 you'll pay for it. Yes it is made in China but a similar quality knife made in the USA would be about $17-22. An authentic Navaja, even one that will not flick open and lock will be more than $60. All in all, a decent reproduction of an old Spanish folder. If you want a real Navaja then you'll need to spend big bucks. If you want eye candy for re-enactments and you're on a budget, this knife will do.

Strictly for looks, it's fineSep 09, 2010

I bought this because we were looking for a navaja to use as a prop in a play. Vintage navajas sell for $300 and up. Current manufacture knives (which look less like the vintage kind than this one does) go for about $100. This is a Chinese copy, stainless blade, for around $10. The blade doesn't lock open, and it certainly doesn't make anything resembling the ratcheting sound of a real navaja when opened, but as a prop it looks distinctive enough and is worth what I paid for it, hence the 3 stars. It would be a better prop if it were a full-sized navaja (seven inch handle and 6 inch blade) instead of being standard pocketknife size; I wish these came in two sizes, with this knife being the smaller of the two.

 Navaja Style KnifeApr 16, 2010
By Nick S. Wilson
This knife is in only reminiscent of an "Old Style Spanish Folder Tactical Pocket Knife" or "Navaja" in its shape. This is really not worth the money to send it to your house. The blade does not lock and if you tried to use this badly manufactured knife "tactically" it would most likely fold in on itself and cut your finger off. When holding the opened blade in my hand and flicking it forward the knife closes half way with the blade sticking out in a right angle from the grip. You have been warned...

For being so reasonably priced, this knife is a show piece. Very classey and different. For display it is outstanding.
