Zala Damascus Steel Assisted Opening Knife

José Solchaga Zala, at the age of 15, entered the Spanish Military Academy, where after three years he reached the rank of Lieutenant. In October 1934, when the Asturian workers rose up against the government, Zala and other soldiers united to create the Nationalists, or rebels, to fight against the Republic. Zala was quickly noticed for his great military skills and was promoted to General. He boldly led the Navarrese troops through many battles, capturing the northern Basque provinces and Asturias. In 1938, he led his troops in the Catalonia Offensive, capturing the key city of Barcelona.

Please also note that each knife is individually handmade from natural materials, meaning there will be some variation in color, Damascus pattern, and overall look between knives of the same type. The knife you receive will have the same attention to quality and detail as the one pictured, but may differ slightly in appearance. After every use, wash and dry the knife completely and add a little mineral, vegetable or olive oil to the knife to keep it from rusting while in storage.
