lcaserapiao · Jan 16, 2012

Hello Friends,

I would like to show some knives "integral" concocted by me. This piece is known in Brazil as "Gaucho Knife." I made some modifications to the classic style of knives according to my philosophy.

Steel: O1, Blade length: 10 "Thickness: 6.5 mm. Selective Quench the blade. Grip Material: ebony.

Steel: 5160, Blade length: 10 " Thickness: 5.0 mm. Selective Quench the blade. Grip Material: stabilized box elder

Steel: 5160, Blade length: 10 " Thickness: 5.0 mm. Selective Quench the blade. Grip Material: karilian massur birk

Tanks for looking.

Beautiful Knives!
The last one with the Birch is my favorite.
All 3 look great.

Tanks for looking, Burl !!!

I really like this type of knife. It requires a good skill to forge, to be extremely tough and objective.

Those are all beautiful knives! I'm partial to the one on top. BTW, my wife is from Recife. She says Garanhuns is beautiful and not as hot as Recife, we might have to pick up a knife the next time we are visiting family. I've wanted to get a quality knife from Brasil, other than a Tramontina machete

Great knives all, but the first one is quite the piece.

Thank you, my friend. It would be an honor for me to receive your visit!
I was born in Recife but I live in Garanhuns ten years ago. In fact, Garanhuns is a beautiful city that has a very pleasant climate, with mild temperatures even in summer When it comes to Pernambuco, come visit me. You are invited now.

A hug.

I also liked very much. Full tang integral knives are difficult to do. But when everything goes right the result is great. And the ebony is always a good choice.

Thank you for comment.
