knives
Nieto makes folding knives and fixed-blade knives for outdoor, field and general cutting tasks. Its range combines established knife patterns with model-specific choices in blade steel, handle material and size, rather than applying one specification across the brand.
The Camping line includes folding knives with AN-58 steel blades and either olive wood or stamina wood handles. The Cetrería line covers fixed-blade knives in several sizes, also using AN-58 steel, stamina wood handles and brass bolsters. These families offer a comparison between folding and fixed-blade formats.

Choosing a format
Nieto’s Camping and Cetrería lines illustrate two different knife formats. Camping consists of folding knives suited to compact carry and general camp tasks. In the catalog, models 395 and 396 have olive wood handles, while models 501 and 503 use stamina wood. The listed open lengths are 17 cm for models 396 and 501, and 19 cm for models 395 and 503, giving shoppers a way to compare size as well as handle material. All four listed Camping models use AN-58 steel blades and brass bolsters.
Cetrería consists of fixed-blade knives, so the blade does not fold into the handle. The catalog’s four models in this group have blades from 14 to 20 cm long. They share AN-58 steel blades, stamina wood handles and brass bolsters, while blade and overall lengths vary by model. This line offers larger fixed-blade options alongside the more compact folding Camping knives. Specifications apply to the cited models, not automatically to every Nieto knife.
Materials and company background
AN-58 is the blade steel specified for these Camping and Cetrería models. The catalog lists natural olive wood or stamina wood for the Camping handles and stamina wood for Cetrería; it does not use one handle material across the two lines. Both families specify brass bolsters, the metal fittings at the handle-blade junction. Checking the individual model’s materials and dimensions helps when choosing between handle options and knife sizes.
Nieto’s roots in Albacete cutlery date to the early 20th century. The company’s official catalog says the family began selling knives under its own brand in 1980 and established Miguel Nieto S.L. in 1987. The manufacturer states that it makes its knives and folding knives in Albacete and carries out the manufacturing process at its facilities. This background describes the company, while materials and construction details remain specific to each model.
