Small Gaucho - NitroV, Olive and Granadillo Repost

[John Cahoon]

Greetings everybody and Merry Christmas! Many moons ago someone suggested I make a smaller version of my gaucho style. So I did! I hope you like it.

NitroV- Dimensions - 5/32” x 10 3/8” OAL and 5 7/8” from tip to bolster and the height is 1 3/8”. Filework on the spine. Hand sanded to 600 grit for a clean satin finish. Paul Bos Heat Treat to 60/61.

Balances on the bolster and the edge was .015” before sharpening. The spine is well rounded for a comfortable thumb.

The handle features a copper and brass bolster with black micarta spacer, Olive wood, green fiber plus black micarta in front of a Granadillo handle. It’s finished to 1200 grit, oiled and waxed.

The sheath features my feather motif 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 with a very versatile profile for the kitchen and camp.

Price is $220 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.

John Cahoon i know I mentioned it the first time, but this is one of my favorites I’ve seen. I love it. Colors all tie together and the profile is <chef’s kiss>.

Hey thanks for all the kind comments fellas, I really appreciate it! ETA Yes Jack O'Neill I'm a big fan of olivewood too. There's a lot of trees in the Phx region and a few years back I saw a crew cutting one down, grabbed as much as I could and been using it since. (Mesquite too same story)

this is no longer available. I sent it out to the remote desert RV resort that sells my knives to the winter visitors. Inventory out there was low since several knives had sold already..
