Hello
"Q U I" is Italian, means HERE, in this world. Therefore, it seems to me that the razor is Italian Affectionately |

Catalan navajas generally have a different shape. The inscription reads like misspelled Spanish. We have to remember that most cutlers were illiterate and engraved the legends by rote. Cheers Chris |
