Mexican knife

[unclemac]

I have found other examples of this makers knives and I am assuming he was active along the border towns selling knives to tourists...I am thinking maybe 1950's. Does anyone have any info on the maker?

It is a tourist knife from the 50's to now, sold in the markets of the Mexican border towns. Suspect the name is the company that produced them.

Cool knife. I'm head down to Mexico on Saturday. I like the open markets there. There is a lot of crap but sometimes you find some very nice pieces.

The prisoners in mexico city used to make knives, including switchblades for the tourist market. The prison authorities would ship them to the markets on the border.
He might have been one of the inmates.
