In Spain between the 18th and 19th centuries, a brutal and fascinating fighting art emerged: the navaja.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book brings back to light the mysterious Manual del Baratero<\/em> (1849), a rare treatise on the use of knife, dagger, and scissors among the gitanos<\/em> and in the Andalusian underworld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through duels, lightning-fast strikes, cunning tricks, and ruthless techniques, a real and practical combat system takes shape\u2014one built for survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enriched with the accounts of Davillier, the engravings of Dor\u00e9, and the author\u2019s practical experience, this volume offers a unique journey through history, technique, and legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For historical fencers, martial artists, enthusiasts of edged weapons, and lovers of European martial traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A ruthless art of honor, deception, and steel.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
