BEWARE OF IMITATIONS!
Because of the  uniqueness of design and excellent quality of Spanish-made Aitor bladeware, the more popular models are much copied and 'cheap knock-offs' are advertised in the market place. 
Genuine Aitor products bear individual serial numbers as a mark of quality, originality and idenitification for insurance purposes.  There is only ONE Aitor - Aitor, made in Spain.


Appointed Australian distributor:
Matrose Agencies Pty Ltd, trading as AKC Mailorder

guaranteed genuine AITOR...  and still manufactured in Spain!

Aitor's reputation as a prestigious knife manufacturer rapidly spread across Spain and around Europe.  Soon, Aitor was servicing an expanding overseas market for their uniquely styled, functionally reliable bladeware.  These days 50% of Aitor products are exported, mainly to neighbouring countries Germany, France and Italy and further afield into Japan, Argentina, Australia  and the USA. 

Founded in 1939, Aitor initially functioned as a sector cutler and hardware dealer, producing pocketknives (known as the 'red line') plus a few sports knives. The firm evolved into the production of a more refined ‘Green Line’ range of multi-purpose pocketknives, as well as green-handled survival knives for military and police use.

Aitor products have always attracted the attention of Australian outdoor users when made available... and we are pleased to be able to present the following range, ideal for Australian conditions.

Aitor Greenline pocketknives are serious military/civilian survival models. The robust nylon handle scales are chequered olive drab, which is embellished with the gold-coloured Aitor crest.  The stainless 7-cm spear-point blade  is ground from 2.5-mm thick bladesteel, which is thick for a pocketknife.

    Aitor's Green Line NATO belt knives (cuchillos) 

    In fixed-blades, a fantastic trio of Green Line NATO models make ideal belt knives for the professional user. 
    The modified V-ground Bowie-style blades with a long clipped-point have been fashioned from 5-mm thick stainless bladesteel that features an aesthetically pleasing ‘worked back’. Each blade has a generous section of straight edge for slicing, a sweeping skinning edge up to the tip and an excellent piercing point. Every blade is engraved with its own unique individualised serial number.

    Aitor utilizes stainless steel that includes in its chemical analysis carbon (inox) 1.50 and chromium 13, which is not dissimilar to 440C stainless bladesteel inclusions, but with better features. Heat treatment (hardening & tempering) is between 56RC & 58RC (Rockwell hardness). Each Aitor blade bears the RC test punch mark as part of the quality control process. 

    The round palm-filling handle, like the Green Line pocketknives, is of a durable olive-green drab nylon. The chequered bulbous grip is furnished with a uniquely-designed cross-guard and a hooked butt-cap with thong-hole, thereby ensuring the knife stays firmly in the hand for all the hard tasks it’s called upon to perform. A matching green hard nylon sheath is fitted with a webbing belt loop with quick-release facility and a knife retaining strap. All class!
