gaucho knives

Kronckew, your first is a free interpretation of the criollo, not really a criollo, but a modern style knife inspired on. The puñal criollo has no guard, but it has always a button. This kife was mounted by poor children in a kind of special institution in Argentina (Misiones). The second is a verijero and the third a puñal, those last made in the real tradition of the puñales criollos.
My regards

Gonzalo
