MIGUEL NIETO
MANUFACTURING SINCE 1957

MIGUEL NIETO SL Sports Cutlery Factory, has its origins at the beginning of the twentieth century in a land of deeprooted knife tradition as Albacete and totally artisan procedures driver} by Inocencio Nieto.

It will be in 1957 when Miguel and Inocencio will join their father in order to start manufacturing for the most prestigious cutlery of that time. With great effort and with the limitations of a small workshop they manage to manufacture knives that would not have their own brand yet. At that time a suitcase and a motorbike were essential instruments to get sold at the different agricultural fairs of that moment.

The brand M. NIETO will arrive in 1980 thanks to the initiative of Miguel Nieto Guillen and his sons who undertake a new and exciting project of manufacturing with their own brand that crystallized in 1987 with the foundation of MIGUEL NIETO SL.

A constant desire to improve and adapt to the demands of the market as well as the search for customer satisfaction has led us in this new stage to the incorporation of different high quality steels for the manufacture of our knives (Bohler N-690co, Bohler N-695, Sandvik 14C28N, Vanadium 1,4116 among others). The quality, the latest technologies and the attachement to the traditions that gave meaning to their origins are the hallmark and identity mark of the factory that we are today.

The constant effort of a whole production and marketing team, the specialization and skill of a human work group as well as the trust of our customers have given prestige to our brand and our products. For all this, for the way traveled and the one to remains to be traveled, we want to express our sincere gratitude.

KNIVES

All our knives have been designed following the advice of experienced hunters and professional soldiers, with their purpose in mind.

A line of professional hunting knives that meets the needs of the hunter. Hunting knives, and knives for anyone who wants an effective tool.

Knives in a classic design world known as "BOWIE" to satisfy every kind of customer, a mixed production: the blades are made with all the latest technical developments and the handles are entirely handmade. Almost all are one piece, with an effective grip and handles in exotic woods and deer horn, assembled with brass, aluminium or 330 stainless steel.

Combat knives for tactical use only, in different blade types, ground into the handle for better use and balance, in forprene or katex. The blade finish is polished and the edge ends in a cut.

AN-58 STEEL

Since 2007 our company has used AN58 INOX steel

After years of using different types of steel and drawing on our experience, MIGUEL NIETO SL decided to produce a completely new steel that meets the requirements of a high-quality product today: hardness, corrosion resistance, edge retention and impact resistance.

The above is guaranteed by Science and Engineering at the Materials College of the University of Castilla-La Mancha.

Hardening is carried out in a controlled-atmosphere furnace at 1,060 °C with 3 hours of tempering at 350°, giving a hardness of 58° to 60° HRC.
