Muela knives
« on: May 23, 2004, 12:20:41 AM »
My wife bought me a Muela knife at a Women in the Outdoors event. I had never heard of this brand, and was wondering if anyone was familiar with them. It's a beautiful little knife, with a small guthook in the blade and Pakka wood grip panels. Also came with a nice leather sheath.

I have several fixed blade Muela knives. I like them. The materials and craftmanship are quite good for the price.

i was fortunate enough to visit Toledo Spain last summer where all sorts of blades, including Muela knives are made.  One of the last places who still make large numbers of knives by hand.  Very beautiful, historic, city full of top quality cutlery.  I bought a Muela knife with an olive wood handle.  I could probably find the information that i have about them if there's any more you want to know.

I have a Muela fixed blade and it seems to be of high quality but it just does not fit my hand right, If it did I would trust it enough for general use, and if you are like me "general use" means a hair short of "torture" so thats a huge compliment coming from me...also worth noting is the fact that the sheath is also made from good quality leather and constructed well.

daddywpb That sounds like the knife I bought a couple of years ago. I think if it is not perfect, it very nearly is. It fits my hand and works excellent for coyotes. I have used it on close to 200 coyotes, as well as deer, antelope and even some wet work on a moose last year. After more than 45 years of hunting, this is the first knife I've had that had a guthook on it.  I bought it specifically for skinning coyotes and since they are case skinned, I wanted the gut hook to unzip the inside of the legs. It is slick. With one paw tied to a fence post I can start at one paw and in one clean swipe I'm at the other. It also worked great on deer and antelope for gutting. It is a little small for serious work on moose, but I used it to cape, and it performed great.

Muela makes a very good knife. I own one, and have seen and handles several more. They all are well made, especially at the price.
I carry mine mainly when hiking, for GP use.
