Thanks Gonzalo,
There are some very beautiful knives there, and some very 'grand' ones! Some of these Gauchos clearly had refined tastes, and money to indulge them.
I've seen a few 'lesser' knives of that type in the UK over the years, but they are not common. Do they come up for sale often in Mexico?
The 'asymetric' shape still gives them a utility or even 'cutlery' look to me, but having had mine for a whole day now ;-) I find the shape is starting to look more pleasing to me. I could see myself having a collection of these if I lived somewhere where they were regularly available.
Do you have any in your collection?
Regards
Gene
