Nice looking knife and sheath. Nicely photographed but perhaps toning down the background would be of assistance to the image.
 
Daniel is a great guy. I had the pleasure to meet him last year during the show he organizes in southern Brazil. You can´t expect less from a guy who is studying with Luciano Dorneles and Rodrigo Sfreddo. In fact they are almost neighbors!

His gaucho style knives are very good interpretations of the culture. A guy keep your eyes on in the near future.

Very elegant piece. Ilove the looong slender blade, the nice stag and the filed butt cap. Great job!

That's a real handsome integral knife. Great blade and stag.
 
Nice package all around Daniel.
Excellent execution of a tough project.
Great photo the props definitely add to the overall.
 
Nice looking knife!!

Why not make a matching BOLAS too
Has anyone done that set yet?
Bolas and Gaucho knife?
You could use the same leather as the sheath for the ropes

It doesn't say what the balls are made of
Maybe you can use some High Carbon 1025 steel or Aus 99 or whatever :eek:

I have much love for the Gauchos because I happen to be a Gaucho
Most people don't know what a Gaucho is

Cuchillo gaucho

I never knew that term
Analogous to the cowboy of the American west and the Mexican vaquero, the gauchos were mounted cattlemen initially living and working in vast undeveloped areas at the fringes of "civilization". Aside from its obvious potential as a weapon in duels, which were to mark rather than kill an adversary, the cuchillo gaucho has a reputation as a truly multipurpose tool and was used for tasks as diverse as slaughtering and skinning cattle, working leather, cutting wood and making adobe bricks. In the wilderness the gaucho could listen for distant approaches by sticking his knife into the ground and pressing an ear against its hilt. The knife was the gaucho's primary eating utensil: a large chunk of meat would be placed in the mouth and the excess cut off with an upward stroke of the knife, stopping short of amputation of the nose. Afterwards, it would serve as a toothpick.
