I went to a old farm house due for demolition and found a Spanish hunting knife

[Deepdiger60]

Since its still cold and the ground to hard yet to dig i just went around looking at sites that might have a few good finds like old farm houses that are going to be torn down to build new houses out here this place was ready to fall !! no windows the walls inside were coming down its about 200 years old last i heard a few migrant farm workers live there in the summer but not now its out in the middle of a heavy wooded area completely over grown i guess free room and board ? i stepped inside the side entrance what a mess i think a owl lives there it scared the heck out of me when it flew out the window anyway looking around i saw a scraper sticking out of a pile of sheet rock i picked it up it was a 15.5 inch hunting knife ? i think its got a bone handle the rest is brass i think and the blade it is some kind of stainless or nickle not sure it was a mess it took me over 2 hours to clean the knife and scraper it did not have any rust at all just dirt and mold .
It says on the knife Muelay Cortuero Moliboeno Vanadio Fabricado En Espana ? i dont read Spanish if its not a expensive knife i can always use it as a backup digger i dont know if i can carry it on my belt ? .A few pics i put below Good hunting Jim

Couldn't find an exact match on a quick scan, maybe yours is a discontinued model?

They make some very sweet Moly-Vanadium stainless steel hunting knives.
Great find!

DD,
You may want to contact them about your knife... With my limited spanish knowledge, the phrase:
Muela y Cortuero Moliboeno Vanadio Fabricado En Espana
translates to
Muela and Cortuero, Molybdenum-Vanadium, Made in Spain

Perhaps they were in partnership at one time, however, I can find no references to that point.

Ahh... I see now, the "y" was just the logo shown on the sheath and the "Cortuero" was the knife line name...

I found the site it looks like they replaced the Cortuero with the Bowie knife its almost identical except for etchings on the side of the knife and the deer antler or elk handle is darker Thanks again for the leads Jim

 

[Indyfan73]

[Goldiver]

Very sweet blade!!

[curbdiggercarl57]

Now that's a knife!

 

[kuger]

Thats an awesome etch!!!It is big sport in Spain and other countries to catch wild boar(pigs)with dogs and dispatch them with knives.That is a high dollar piece to the right person!I would like to have it myself!

 

[pepperj]

Nice looking blade.

Re: I went to a old farm house due for demolition and found a Spanish hunting kn

not a digger.....

 

[Deepdiger60]

Um...
Yeah..

Let's just say that is NOT a 5.00 "gunshow special"

I would compare some of those knives to my Randall or my ATAK..

That's a fine blade.... IF it is one of their "upper line" blades.

I say that because they have different "series" of blades.. Cold Steel also does that..

I would say that one dates "roughly and off the top of me head" From the 1970s-1980s..

WhichEVER line it is of theirs, it's worth at LEAST 50.00

Thanks Spooky i didnt know to much about knifes one thing is for sure it aint going to be my digger

 

[phantomfinder]

Well done , WTG on that sweet looking knife.

Actually that etch is on a Bowie Knife i was using to id the one i found but to bad it wasn't on the knife i found but ill keep it

 

[Deepdiger60]

Now that's a knife!

It sure is i used to have a Rambo knife that was 1.5 inches shorter then this Spanish knife but i had to return it Uncle Sam said no no i cant bring it home i hunt deep woods i never bring any protection this knife would look good on my belt out there

 

[Weddle546]

Very nice Knife! Havent heard of them. I have worked for a custom knife supply shop for years but we deal mainly in supplies for custom makers. Some of my old bosses knives are going for well over a grand. Just another fun hobby to get into....... Gratz on a cool find.
