Gaucho-style knife

[kamagong]

I recently picked up this knife. It's a gaucho-inspired camp knife. It's a good sized knife at 11" overall length, with 6" of flat-ground cutting goodness. The koa handle has an oval cross section so that I'll always know where the vorpal edge is. I can't wait to put it to work this summer.

That's a really nice-looking piece. Where did you get it and how much?

Nice!

What steel?

Use it in good health.

Very nice! I really like the style of that blade, and the look of that wood. Walnut?

Thanks for the compliments guys, I'll pass them on to the maker.

Vonderek, I commissioned this knife from a custom maker. Drop me a line and I'll give you his info.

The knife has an O1 tool steel blade. The handle is made from stabilized koa.

Now that's my style also. Lucky man. Enjoy.

Nice gaucho. Here's mine, which I received as a souvenir from friends traveling in Argentina.



The blade narrows at the back at the last 1/3 toward the tip, so this knife can be used for both hard chopping and finer carving. Perfect for barbecue on the range.
