Brute Forged Gaucho Knife With Deer Antler

Hey guys!
In this video I bring a gaúcha knife. For those who don't know the term "gaucho" refers to some native peoples of southern South America.
People from outside Brazil can associate the shape of the blade with Mediterranean knives, because our cutlery tradition comes from people in that region.
Initially my plan was to forge the blade entirely by hand, but on forging day I had some delays and ended up using the press to save time.
The handle was made from the base of the deer horn, which we call here "deer crown". I really like this material because it is extremely resistant and has a rustic and noble appearance at the same time. The fit was very tight, in the video you can even hear a click when adjusting.
It's a simple project in a way, but with a lot of visual appeal and a strong meaning for a people who had the knife as their main tool in their daily lives.
Olá, Pessoal!
Nesse vídeo trago uma faca gaúcha. Para quem não sabe o termo "gaucho" se refere a alguns povos nativos do Sul da América do Sul.
Pessoas de fora do Brasil podem associar o formato da lâmina às facas mediterrâneas, isso porque a nossa tradição de cutelaria é proveniente justamente de pessoas dessa região.
Inicialmente meu plano era forjar a lâmina inteiramente à mão, mas no dia do forjamento tive alguns atrasos e acabei usando a prensa para ganhar tempo.
A empunhadura foi feita da base do chifre de cervo, que aqui chamamos de "coroa de cervo". Gosto muito desse material por ser extremamente resistente e ter um aspecto rústico e nobre ao mesmo tempo. O encaixe ficou bem justo, no vídeo pode-se ouvir até um clic na hora do ajuste.
É um projeto simples de certa forma, mas com bastante apelo visual e um forte significado para um povo que tinha a faca como principal ferramenta no seu dia a dia.

This blacksmith is a master of his craft. I saw this video a while ago. I've wanted to own a gaucho knife for a long time. I got in touch with him and I have to say, he's a very nice and friendly man, and a professional. He made me a knife that's a dream. Superb, superb. It's worth every cent. It was complicated, because I live in Germany, but it was worth the effort. Just holding it in my hands is a true joy. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!

[@stevelewis7263]

I love watching craftsmen such as yourself, I wish I had the skill and the strength to wield a hammer like that, but 50 years of sitting behind a desk has robbed me of that.

[@cutelariaharpia]

Don't give up, friend! Strengthen your body and then do it! Consult a healthcare professional and make a plan to reach your goal. You can start with small parts, and use as many tools as possible to help you save effort until your body is ready. With patience and persistence I'm sure you can do it!

[@cutelariaharpia]

Gracias! Tenha um bom dia!

[@B-leafer]

Nice job blacksmithing.
Unfortunately, when people make sharp 90deg corners between the ricosso and tang, they create stress risers, a weak spot where breakage can and often does occur (a liability issue). This can be greatly reduced by using a tiny rattail file to round the points of 90deg turns. Most knife makers Unfortunately miss this critically important step.
Otherwise, very nice job.
I'd love to own that one!
