A.G. Maisey:
I cannot comment on your navajas without photos and some additional information.
However, I have a representative collection of traditional 19th and 20th century navajas and none of the larger ones are light, in practical terms, or passably strong at the lock. I have handled many antique navajas over the years and have yet to see one with a blade over 9" that was practical..
This subject got a very through airing on this forum about 13 years ago and if you do a search you'll finds lots of good information.
kronckew: Nice collection!
Cheers
Chris
