Fixed Knife Muela TEJON-16
Detailed product description
Muela TEJON-16 is a versatile fixed knife from the Spanish manufacturer Muela. The fixed-knife construction is based on a simple and proven principle – the blade is ready for immediate use and does not include any folding or locking mechanism.
This design is especially practical in nature, where the knife is used repeatedly for various tasks. TEJON-16 can be used for food preparation, working with ropes, light wood processing, setting up camp, and other common tasks associated with outdoor use.
The character of the knife reflects the traditional approach of the Muela brand. It is not a complicated tactical tool with a multitude of additional features, but a classic fixed knife focused on functionality and practical use.
Character and philosophy
TEJON-16 is built on a combination of fixed construction, classic appearance, and practical use. The fixed blade provides a stable working base while eliminating the moving parts typical of folding knives.
A characteristic feature of Muela knives is the combination of traditional Spanish knife-making design with more modern manufacturing processes. TEJON-16 therefore looks traditional, yet is designed as a knife meant for real use.
It is suitable for users looking for a knife with a more distinctive character than standard all-purpose utility knives, while still keeping the practicality of a fixed construction.

Possible limitations
A fixed knife is less compact to carry than a folding model and requires an appropriate sheath or other safe storage.
The traditional construction of the TEJON-16 may not suit users who prefer very lightweight minimalist knives or modern tactical designs.
When using the knife, it is also important to respect its intended purpose. While the fixed blade offers high stability when cutting, the knife is not designed for prying, chopping hard materials, or other extreme stress.
Maintenance and care
After use, always clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. Dirt, moisture, or aggressive substances should not be left on the blade for long periods.
Lightly oil the blade regularly, especially before long-term storage. This helps create a protective layer against moisture.
Sharpen the edge regularly and gently while maintaining the correct angle. For precise and controlled sharpening, we recommend Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF, ideal even for plain edges. Customers can buy it on our website Moskito.cz.
If the knife is supplied with a leather sheath, protect it from prolonged moisture. Before placing the knife into the sheath, it must always be clean and completely dry.
