HonkeyMuela Knives
Hello All,
I am going to Spain this coming April for a wedding. I am a big fan of Spanish hunting knives. Especially Muela knives. I was wondering if any of you blade affictionados in your world travels have been to Spain and know of any must have knife oppurtunities over in Ibiza. Any ifo greatly appreciated.
THANKS

GatogordoKeep a mental or physical list of US prices for whatever models you are interested in. It has been my observation that, most of the time, the knives are MORE expensive in Spain than over here.

WinkI have also found that many European produced items are actually less expensive when purchased in the USA. Value Added Taxes (VAT) are high in most European countries and since most dealers don't sell in the same volumes as in the US the margins are also higher. I doubt if anything is cheaper in Ibiza when compared to the rest of Spain. It's kinda of like going to Hawaii and hoping to find deals on a product made in Kansas.
