I was going to delete this at first, since it looks more like a advertisement than an actual thread about a knife, but on second thought I"ll put it down to enthusiasm for a new knife .  I don't quite understand the blade design, looks like the Spanish attempt to build an American Tanto blade with Spanish overtones, but for all that it looks practical enough.  Spanish knives, such as the Muela's, have always had a reputation for quality workmanship.

It looks like a pretty standard Navaja deign. That blade shape is common among navaja's from certain parts of Spain. Deep belly and strait back.

Nice looking knife.
