Hi folks,
For those who are interested in these knives, I highly recommend Domenech's Dagas De Plata, a magnificent work of 393 pages and in my opinion, by far the best work on the subject.. Despite that it is written in Spanish, the many excellent photographs and illustrations render the identification of knives from the Pampean regions relatively easy. See: https://www.libreriahernandez.com/l/...968/9870502881 Cheers Chris |

Lee,
Thanks for referencing the earlier thread discussing your own cuchillo. The comments there of Abel Domenech were again full and detailed. These knives are fascinating, and such an integral part of the cultures in that large area of South America. |
