Rooted in the traditions of the Argentine pampas, this gaucho knife features a meticulously hand braided handle crafted from more than twenty strands of rawhide, woven entirely by hand in a technique passed down through generations. The result is a grip that is both durable and quietly sculptural.The knife is fitted with a 12 cm (4.7″) Dagger stainless steel blade, a more compact and agile proportion than the commonly seen 14 cm blades. This balanced format offers excellent control, making it perfectly suited as a distinctive artisan steak knife.Measuring 22 cm (8.8″) in total length, the knife is accompanied by a hand-stitched rawhide leather sheath with traditional pocket tab, echoing the same heritage craftsmanship found in the handle. Over time, the rawhide braid deepens in tone, developing a natural patina that reflects years of use.Specifications• 440 stainless steel blade• 12 cm / 4.7″ Dagger blade• Hand-braided rawhide leather handle (20 strands)• 22 cm / 8.8″ total knife length• Hand-stitched rawhide leather sheathA knife shaped by tradition and made to endure.To learn more and watch a video about the making of Gaucho knives click here: Making of Gaucho Knives braided knife handle making gaucho style
