Gran Police

ej. navajas abiertas Police Knife The Police Knife uses the swiss-army-knife style layered construction approach. A selection of standard Aitor blades and tools are arranged in a fashion that would appeal to law enforcement and other professionals. The large folding plier makes this device as much a "tool" as a "knife," gaining it entry into the Multitool Encyclopedia.

Off The Record

The quality of knives made by Aitor is generally quite good, although not up to the standards of Victorinox and Wenger. There can be no question however that Aitor products are far superior to those presently being imported from Asia.
