I was hoping that someone on this site could shed some light on the knife that I was lucky enough to pick up from an estate sale here in Maryland. This came from a collection of a fairly wealthy man and I really do not know much about it. I understand that it was made in Toledo Spain and is called a Navajas knife and has inlaid handles (not sure what the material is in the handles) ..the knfe measures open about 17 inches and has a lock ring ...the blade is about 8 inches ...I understand that these style knives had the ring added around the mid 1800's ...thank you in advance for any info you can give ...Id like to know about when it might have been made ..what the handles are made of, opinion on condition and a value if you have an educated idea ,,,
