Muela Bowie

The Muela companies were started by Eladio Muela León in the mid-1950s, encouraged by the great success of his handcrafted 38-piece folding knife with the German engineers of the Empetrol refinery, where Eladio was working at the time.

These same engineers ordered knives from him to take back to their country and this, together with his business spirit, was the stimulus he needed to set up his first handcrafted folding knives and knives factory, employing seven people.

The profit obtained was invested in machinery to make the factory more productive, so that in a short time it was enlarged and located in Argamasilla de Calatrava, in Ciudad Real.
