Hola everybody! Quite a while back this style from below the equator caught my eye so here’s another Gaucho blade up for your consideration. This is my 6th and all the others had leather, Elk and wood/G10 spacers so I decided to do something different with this one. Hope you like it!
80CRV2 - Dimensions - 5/32”” x 11 11/16” OAL and 7” from tip to bolster and the height is 1 1/2”. There’s even 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. Balance is between the ricasso and front of the bolster, the edge was near sharp before sharpening. The spine is well rounded for a comfortable thumb.
The handle features a beautiful piece of Ironwood with black G10 spacers and a couple of micro-checks in the wood. It’s finished to 1200 grit, then oiled and waxed for a lustrous polish. The bolster is copper and G10 finished to 2000 grit and buffed. It’s pretty shiny!
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.
Only $275 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.
