Gaucho Knife

This handcrafted Gaucho knife embodies the rugged spirit of South American cattle-ranching culture. Forged from a pneumatic hammer chisel, the blade carries the toughness and resilience of a tool built for impact, now refined into a balanced cutting companion. The handle blends 18th-century leather, American pecan wood, and brass accents, creating a timeless, earthy aesthetic. The hidden tang runs fully through the handle and is peened at the end for maximum strength and reliability.
