Hi

Thanks Olly, maximus1, doctorsahab and brihajee ! Yes maximus I did drool over the luscious Nietos and the switchblade of yours !!

Well, this Nieto and its cousin ( exact replica but with wicked serrations instead of notches) was a gift from a diplomat, I guess he could carry it from Spain ( diplomatic baggage ?) . I am pestering him for a stilleto now...lol. So I wouldnt know the price.

Tc and Cheers

Lawyerme, why not try and get a traditional Navaja Folder from Spain rather than these Nieto's ?

Lovely piece! The leather sheath is cool!

Unfortunately, Nieto with leather sheaths are not available here.

By the way, can any Nieto owner confirm how to remove the handle scales / bolsters? I wanted to remove the plastic and wrap paracord around the entire thing..... (mine is a black coated one with serrations on the back).

Cheers!
