Miguel Nieto Knife purchase

[PeterDE]

Went to a local gun show because they always have a few knife sellers. Only one this time. He had an interesting collection but the one that caught my eye was this one by Miguel Nieto. It is a Cetreria 2403 (means falconry, I think. My Spanish is poor at best) Any way I have been looking for a large knife to add to my collection that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. 14" overall. Blade is 8 3/4" Made with AN-58 steel Acera inoxidable (roughly translates to stainless steel) which I understand from reading previous posts here is different than 440 or 420. Anyway it's probably not going to be used, it'll just be an addition to my collection.

Nice! These spanish knife patterns are very distinctive.
(Especially the guard assembly)
Hardly changed in the last 20 yeras
But that in a way makes it a uniquely classic production knife design.
There's an old thread on spanish brands here..

Thanks. I was reading that thread earlier. It's interesting. The knife is distinctive. That's why it caught my eye and so I bought it.
