Gaucho knife for ID please: Argentine 'La Movediza'

Hi Chris, Gene, et al,

Not to oversimplify, but I would consider them to be gaucho knives just as I would consider the plethora of knives we know as Bowie knives to be Bowie knives - similar in form and recognized as such based on both their design and heritage... Rezin and Jim Bowie have been dead for more than a century and a half, but Bowie knives are still made today.
