Hi,
This article should answer most of your questions. http://www.vikingsword.com/ethsword/facon/criollo.html I've had occasion to correspond with Mr Domenech and have found most helpful in identifying South American knives. Regards, Norman |

Perfect! Thank you Norman - much appreciated. A facón. A fighting knife. Good to know.

The "white metal" is likely mostly silver, though unlikely up to sterling. A nice, desirable item with some age.

Absolutely right! This knife is from Argentina.
"Puan is a town in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is the administrative centre of the Puan Partido". |
