Great knife .

I believe 'Garrido' means' graceful' in Spanish .

There i a Garrido knife place in Toledo and one in Coruna ,but they seem to only sell kitchen knives .Maybe check these out
It looks like a 60s piece ,nice scales ,and I for one think they are pretty rare as when looking for them only found about 3 for sale ,but that was in my ebay days of hunting in France ,Germany iand taly .

Another maker was IHER ,but my example shown here has no maker marks.

I cant give a price ,as I have been out of the mix for a while ,will let someone with more knowledge comment .
Thanks for sharing it ,I really like them...they are just different .

Toledo tourist knives.
They were made plain or ultra-decorated with etching and gold plating.
