Premium Handcrafted Gaucho Knife with polished horse bone and nickel handle

A working piece of art. Each piece is individually crafted by the skilled hands of the Argentine knife makers, who to this day still use ‘the old world techniques' that have been practiced by many generations. The knife itself has a 14-20cm full tang, spear-tipped, ‘Nandu’ stainless steel blade with a leather braided handle in the traditional black and ivory woven pattern accented with a nickel silver butt and bolster. All our knives come complete with a hand-stitched cowhide leather sheath to keep your blade protected when not in use. A handsome piece for using, displaying, or collecting. Note: Each braided handle has its own unique pattern, no two are exactly the same, however, they are very similar to the photos shown here.
