hi all, Please see recent work and first attempt to make Gaucho knife. Blade material: EN45 steel Hilt material: american walnut, bog oak, bone. Dimensions: length of the blade 270mm, overall length 395mm, width 35mm, thickness 5mm Thank you

Thank you. Its not a very common style. Its one of my theory of how these blades could look like. I think they could have been made from splited bone in the past. If they would have shoulder at the tang they could break easily. the handle is mounted the same way as the other hidden tang blades. one of my first one yakut knife with this type of blade

Thank you. Yes sometimes, but straight after quenching they can still be fixed.
