Gaucho in 52100 Ironwood and Elk

[John Cahoon]

Hola everybody! Quite a while back 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 11 1/2” OAL and 6 7/8” from tip to bolster and the height is 1 3/8”. There’s even some fancy filework on the spine for a little latin flare! Hand sanded to 1200 grit for a clean satin finish. Paul Bos Heat Treat to 60/61.

The near sharp swedge flairs at the tip for extra strength. The balances is on the first ironwood block and the edge was .012” before sharpening. The spine is well rounded for a comfortable thumb.

The handle features a brass and copper bolster with ironwood and elk antler, accented with red, turquoise and black G10 spacers and a sculpted brass copper pommel. It’s finished to 1200 grit and buffed.

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.




Thanks so much for looking! Please feel free to comment, ask anything here or via PM.

Thanks sharp, it's going to be different around here without the like button, I'll not know what people think unless they take the time to comment so appreciated. I know it's a pain to type compared to hitting a button but we'll adapt and overcome as they say!

I'm not really into the Gaucho design, HOWEVER, that is a damn fine piece of work...
That handle looks really comfy.......
Nice piece of work.....

This is not typically my style of knife, but I could see myself being tempted by a smaller version. Really like your choice of materials for the handle. Obvious quality, crafted by a skilled maker. Like.

Not sure where the likey button went but that's a nice one.

Not sure where the likey button went but that's a nice one.

I would have given it a thumbs up too, but the forum took away that ability for all For Sale sites.

Regardless, truly fine work from John. This knife is

I agree with all the knife lovers who already spotted this beauty and commented on it eloquently. With your file work, that amazing handle build, and Gaucho Man it is a gem.

Wow thanks a lot guys, I appreciate the time it took to comment with no like button anymore. Much appreciated. The smaller version has been added to my to do list... great idea J jacaldwell and cbach8tw . 4.5-5" blade maybe 9.5 OAL.
