The 1090 carbon steel balances hardness with toughness, making edge retention practical for extended use in the field. A hand-filed jimping along the spine offers precise control during precision tasks, even when wearing gloves or working in damp conditions. The hand-carved Malaysian Sal Wood handle, complemented by nickel bolsters and a polished pommel, provides a comfortable, balanced grip that reduces fatigue during longer sessions. The thick black leather sheath with a decorative nickel chape protects the blade and makes storage and transport straightforward. With an overall length of 16-3\/8 inches and a substantial feel (19.4 oz), this Facon sits comfortably in the hand for both display-worthy presence and practical performance. Ideal for collectors who value historic craftsmanship and outdoor enthusiasts who need a capable, all-purpose tool that honors Gaúcho tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cold Steel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47688507031846,"sku":"CS88CLR1","price":138.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0859\/9211\/2422\/products\/CS88CLR1_15af6327-197f-40f1-8f90-4c9156f30c90.jpg?v=1771701496","url":"https:\/\/blackcountryoutdoor.com\/products\/cold-steel-facon-knife-88clr1-argentinian-style-gaucho-knife-perfect-for-camping-hunting-and-everyday-use","provider":"Black Country Outdoor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
