Muela BW-22N Knife Set
Detailed product description
The Muela BW-22N set is one of the interesting combined sets from Spanish manufacturer Muela. The foundation of the set is a pair of fixed knives that complement each other. The larger BW-22 is suitable for more demanding work, while the smaller BW-10 is ideal for more precise and less demanding tasks.
The advantage of this arrangement is the ability to choose the right knife for the situation. For tasks that require a larger and more robust blade, the BW-22 can be used. The smaller BW-10 may be more practical for finer work or for tasks where a larger knife is not necessary.
Both models have a fixed construction, so there is no need to deal with a folding mechanism during use. A fixed blade provides stable control and a confident grip. The set is therefore suitable for a variety of activities associated with time in nature, gamekeeping, hunting, or camping.
The appearance of both knives corresponds to Muela's traditional design approach. The construction is purposeful, yet it also has a distinctly classic hunting character. As a result, the set may appeal not only to users looking for practical outdoor gear, but also to collectors of Spanish hunting knives.
A practical addition is the shared leather sheath. It allows both knives to be safely stored and carried as one unit. The set therefore represents a compact solution for users who want two different fixed knives available when spending time outdoors.
Character and philosophy
The BW-22N is based on a simple idea: instead of one universal knife, it offers a pair of knives, each of which can be used for a different type of work. The larger knife provides greater working reserve, while the smaller model is better suited to situations where precision and easy handling matter more.
This approach fits well with the traditional concept of hunting and outdoor equipment. The user does not have to rely on a single tool for every situation and can choose the more suitable knife according to the specific task.
At the same time, the set retains the character of classic Spanish knife-making. Muela does not rely on complex mechanisms or a large number of accessories here, but on fixed blades, traditional craftsmanship, and practical use.
Thanks to the pair of knives, the set offers broader use than a single model. The BW-22 can handle more demanding work, while the BW-10 can serve as a smaller supplementary knife for everyday field tasks.

Possible limitations
The BW-22N set is intended primarily for users who will genuinely make use of a pair of fixed knives. For someone looking only for one universal knife for ordinary small tasks, the set may be an unnecessarily extensive solution.
The larger BW-22 is designed for more demanding work, while the smaller BW-10 naturally has more limited working capabilities. The advantage of the set is precisely their different focus, not the fact that both knives are intended for the same tasks.
Even a fixed construction does not mean the knives are intended for prying, striking the spine of the blade, or other extreme stress. To preserve their properties, each knife should be used according to its intended purpose.
Maintenance and care
After each use, thoroughly clean both knives of dirt, material residue, dust, and any moisture. Then dry them carefully. With a set of two knives, it is important to maintain both pieces, even if only one was actively used during a particular task.
Pay special attention to the areas around the handle and metal parts. When used outdoors, dirt, water, or organic residue may collect there. After returning from the field, we therefore recommend cleaning both knives and allowing them to dry completely before placing them back in the sheath.
Lightly oil the blade regularly. A thin layer of oil helps protect the blade surface during normal use and is especially important before long-term storage. If you do not use the set for an extended period, it is advisable to check both knives from time to time and renew the protective layer as needed.
The leather sheath also needs to be kept dry. If it becomes damp during use, allow it to dry thoroughly before storing the knives. Knives should never be stored for long periods in a sheath together with moisture or dirt.
Regularly inspect the edge of both knives and carefully sharpen as needed. Ongoing maintenance is preferable to waiting until the blades become significantly dull. When sharpening, keep the correct angle and work evenly along the entire edge. Aggressive sharpening can unnecessarily alter the blade geometry.
For regular maintenance, we recommend Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF, which is ideal even for plain edges. It allows controlled, gentle sharpening while maintaining the correct edge angle. You can buy it on our Moskito.cz website.
