Here American ninjutsu master James Loriega
presents the secrets of the three distinct styles of Sevillian Steel, the term for the
weapons and fighting systems that originated and evolved in Andalusian Spain. His focus
here is on the blade most associated with Spain and the one used in the practice of
Sevillian Steel: the navaja – an elegant folding knife that took its classic shape in
the 17th century. Through photos, rare historical illustrations and colorful stories,
Spain’s rich history of blade-handling comes alive in this book, making it an
invaluable resource for anyone interested in knives, knife-fighting, European martial arts
or Spanish culture
