Greetings everybody! Years ago this style from below the equator caught my eye so here’s yet another Gaucho blade up for your consideration. I just love the style and I hope you do too!
52100 - Dimensions - 1/8”” x 119/16” OAL and 71/16” from tip to bolster, 61/2” edge and the height is 1 1/2”. There’s even some fancy filework on the spine! Hand sanded to 600grit for a clean satin finish. Paul Bos Heat Treat to 60/61.
The shallow swedge flairs at the tip for extra strength. The balances is on the plunge line and the edge was .015” before sharpening. The spine is well rounded for a comfortable thumb.
The handle features a blued steel and copper bolster with bocote and stabilized and dyed Jacaranda, accented with blue and black G10 spacers. It’s finished to 1200 grit, oiled and waxed.
The premium sheath features the real Gaucho man and is a snug fit with great retention yet easy to deploy. So even if you’re not gonna go Gaucho’ing anytime soon this would still make a terrific BBQ blade and be right at home anywhere knives are used.
Still using imgur until the owner resolves the photo limit issue. Imgur compresses (a lot). If you want full resolution images I'll get 'em to ya.
Priced at $270 to your US door, and of course your satisfaction is my only priority. I can accept paypal, check or MO, and the price includes fees and free shipping in the US.
Thanks so much for looking! Please feel free to comment, ask anything here or via PM.
