The gaucho's preferred weapon was the 'facon', a one-edged knife carried in the back. Outlaws preferred a longer weapon, shaped as a dagger, like the one shown in this page.

This gaucho dagger has a handcrafted handle and sheath. The handle is made of alpaca metal. The sheath is a perfect combination of alpaca metal and leather. The carbon steel blade is 20 cm (about 7.9 inches) long and was made in Argentina using traditional techniques.

Important Notes:        The blade is made with a durable steel composition, but it is not stainless.         The blade of our knives is covered with a moisture repellent paste to ensure that you receive it in perfect condition. Clean before use.
