Hell yeah! A very talented bladesmith. If he's going to Little Rock I sure hope we get to see a preview of his knives.

Coupchoux - that's a pretty serious looking piece of cutlery you have there - I bet it chops like crazy. Here's a real nice integral gaucho knife of Ricardo's:

Hello RogerP,

Yes Ricardo is a very talented bladesmith, and, which is very important too a very attractive personality.

Your pix of integral gaucho knife of Ricardo's is magnificent RogerP. Love these traditional designs. That's your?
 
Hi Coupchoux,

Yes, the pics are mine but the knife no longer is. I sure enjoyed it while I had it. It's hard to beat the Brazilians when it comes to value is a big forged integral.

Take care,

Roger
 
Beautiful blade Coupchoux.

Let's see if I can get one of your pictures to show up in this thread.
