On our Czech knife forum I found this knife. Could someone identify it?
I could probably get better pictures if needed.

Re: Help identify OTF knife
Hi Tanto
I believe this knife is a spanish otf
.
I have its little brother which was contracted by Bonsa to be made in Spain ,but my example is marked with a patent number and has no INOX on the blade like that example.
That is a lovely otf and they have a nice action and sound when fired with decent lock up for an otf.
The scales are black plastic and the body cast aluminium same for the button.Would be great to see horn or jigged bone on the scales.
I think these are from the 1970s -80s and are fairly uncommon ,i missed a similar example on ebay that sold for 130 euros last year .
They are good quality Tanto
Hope this helps

Re: Help identify OTF knife
Great info, thanks! Are the scales glued to the frame?
Re: Help identify OTF knife
Yes those are from Spain. I went there in the 1970s and had a factory tour where they were made. Glued on black plastic handles. They are very thin so be careful if you are taking them off....Nice knife! Can you post a better picture of the middle one with the sticker on it?

I can see the glue where my scale is lifting .
It would be nice to change these scales but i would be worried about reattatching the alloy button for strength but im no mangler ,they would know best.
These would be a super otf with natural scales as they have a real feel of quality about them except for the scales.
Hope yourboth well.
