LESSON TWO
THE NAMES THAT THE NAVAJA RECIEVES
The navaja is known by various names among the people who wield it. We won't list all of them here, only those which are more frequently encountered in use, since each province gives it one of its own.
In Andalusia they are called mojosa, chaira and tea, in Seville those of great length are called las del Santуlio; but in the garrisons and prisons, and among the barateros of Madrid and other places it is known by the names of corte, herramienta, pincho, hierro, abanico, alfiler and some others. In our lessons we will call it by the common name of navaja.
