The story of J&V goes back more than 70 years, goes back from grandparents to grandsons. Currently J&V is led by Juan Martinez, Cutlery Artisan named by the Government of Castile-La Mancha with craftsman license number 0200195.
Throughout his life he has received more than 20 awards in different national and international contests. Some of these prices are:

J&V designs are highly valued by their users as one of the best survival and bushcraft knives that has been ever made. Military commandos, forestry groups, rescue and survival team are some of the examples of the multitude of collectives that trust on J&V products to perform their daily tasks. It’s one of the few national brans which are always innovating on technical and aesthetical improves, such as cryogenic tempering, luminescent materials for the handle, custom designs made on G-10 that imitate military patterns, etc.
Among their most known knives we find names like Axarquia, Hispanus, Gladius or Saurius, but above these all Celtibero stands outs (named the best survival knife by the specialized press back in 2010) along with the tactical folding knives SV1 to SV4.
All these designs have been born from the mind of the talented crew of J&V and the exceptional collaboration with some of the best cutlery designers.
Most of the J&V products are made in the magnificent steel MV-58, tempered with a special heat treatment that makes it reaches the optimum hardness of 58 HRc.
Nevertheless, J&V made their designs in other steel such as Böhler N690Co, 1095, Sandvick 12c27, etc. J&V Adventure Knives has become one of the models in the cutlery world, valued by both, stores and wholesalers and their users. J&V is a global trend on the cutlery business.
