Gaucho knife

Hello

The blade of the knife has the name "La Movediza", because the town where the factory was located is Tandil, a town in the province of Buenos Aires, famous because it had the quicksand of Tandil, a natural formation of a stone gigantic that rested on a single point.

The leaves were acquired by the silversmiths, who encased them and made the sheath, so that it is not an old knife, it can be from 1950, at the most.

Sorry for the translator.

affectionately

Thank you so very much for all your comments on my gaucho knife. I really appreciate it. As soon as I get it in my hand I will try to take better pictures of it.

I like these kind of knives but of course, to have an antique big one from the end of the 1800 should be fantastic. The real deal so to speak. Anyway, I guess that should cost me an arm and a leg at the least. Well, to dream about it doesn´t cost anything so....
