Set of South American knives for sale
1 - Excelent Brazilian gaucho knife, "puņal" type, strong uncleaned
blade 18 cms. with false edge. Thick scabbard and grip in German silver. With marks of a famous Belgium gun makers family, trading in Brazil. Widow (VĒ) Laport ran the busines and the company's name around 1870. This is a heavy old piece, not the tourist stuff they offer air travellers. 2 - A knife called in Brazil "faca de ponta", with a 20 cms. nickeled blade, retaining most finish. The blade decoration has the word ENFIN ( French for "at last" ? ). Leather scabbard and stitching both in perfect condition. 3 - A small knife, whch could be considered a "verijera", with a 13 cms. blade. Leather scabbard a bit split at its mouth. Price for the set 285 Euros ... will consider best counter offer. Fernando |

Gaucho (Puņal) and small (verijera) sold.
Price for the one in the middle ( faca de ponta) 60 Euros. You don't know what you miss; its blade is over 4 m/m thick at the forte and the leather scabbard is a master piece. It only misses a couple micro stitches at the tip ... almost unnoticeable. Fernando Last edited by fernando; 8th May 2008 at 11:00 PM. |
