In Albacete, land of long tradition in knives, the sporting knives company, well-known today as Miguel Nieto SL, starts out at the beginning of 20th century thanks to Inocencio Nieto. About 1957, Miguel and Inocencio joined their father Inocencio in a small factory, building it up with effort and step by step. They manufactured knives without their own brand, for the most prestigious knives shops at that time. In 1980 Miguel Nieto Guillén set up on his own with his four sons starting to market his own models and brand "M. NIETO". In 1987 they established Miguel Nieto SL where the basic key is a reliable quality combining the current technology and tradition.
