I will give you a holler when it shows up. There is a version with a blade just under 7" that is interesting as well, but the price is only a few dollars less.

Apparently it does, but it also is the Spanish word for "headcheese "!

In Swahili it means "rock".

Sooo, hard headcheese?

this brand, too.

I almost bought one of those..... (reply)

......but in my search for a big knife I ran across the Muela.

I will confess that seeing you effortlessly hide that blade at the Taffin Banquet was what got my wheels rolling for a "big" knife. The Muela's blade is a smidge over 8" long, so a little easier for a Hobbit like me to conceal.

That's nice... (reply)

This is a knife!

I have one of these winging its way to me from Spain. Muela doesn't import this particular version, and I spent a couple of fruitless hours searching for a vendor anywhere before realizing the model number was 21OL, not 210L.

The blade is 210mm long, with a 130mm grip. It is 440C and 5.5mm thick. The scales are olive wood. The best part is the price, $76 shipped! Muela does import this knife with stag slabs and a brass guard and pommel, but it runs about 200 bucks! Forgoing the fancy trim and ordering it from a dealer in Spain saved me mucho dinero.

Every home needs one!
