12cm Braided Rawhide Handled Gaucho Knife – 100% Handmade in Argentina

Rooted in the traditions of the Argentine pampas, this piece carries craftsmanship that doesn’t need to announce itself. The handle is meticulously hand-braided using more than twenty strands of rawhide, woven entirely by hand through techniques passed down across generations. The result is a grip that feels natural, durable, and quietly sculptural—meant to be held, not just seen.Fitted with a 12 cm (4.7”) dagger blade in 440 stainless steel, this knife leans into a more compact and agile format than the more common 14 cm versions. It offers precision, control, and ease of use—equally at home in daily tasks or set at the table as a distinctive artisan steak knife.At 22 cm (8.8”) overall length, the balance is immediate and intuitive. Over time, the rawhide braid deepens in tone, developing a natural patina that reflects use and age—no two pieces evolving the same way.It comes with a hand-stitched rawhide leather sheath, finished with a traditional pocket tab for versatile carry.Details that matter:Hand-braided rawhide handle (20 strands)12 cm / 4.7” 440 stainless steel dagger bladeCompact, controlled, and well-balanced22 cm / 8.8” total lengthHand-stitched rawhide leather sheathDevelops natural patina over timeQuiet craftsmanship, lasting presence.
