Brazillian handle

[Dhoff]

Hi everyone,

I stumbled on a brazillian knife maker and saw some handles I've never seen before. What is your take on this type?



Also a more classic piece.

Facas Artesanais Weschenfelder, instagram is facasweschenfelder.

Prices seem low-ish. The knife below is around 100 us dollars. Still waiting on the specifications on the knife. My Portuguese is only google-translate

Never heard of them. There are several forgers from the south of Brazil (in your case, Rio Grande do Sul) that make blades for brazilian barbaque (usually with a high tip) or with a design typical of that region (those may remind you some old german blades). The blades are usually far from thin behind the edge if compared to japanese knives, but they usually work well both on raw and hard crusted meats.

Let me know if you need some help talking to them.

If you look around on Etsy, you can find a bunch of fancy handles that are interesting too.

And lastly, not on Etsy but a personal favorite, the Aura Chakra model:

They look like traditional Uzbek pchak style kitchen knife.

Brazil has their own version of Gauchos and knives to match. I have a couple a native sent me a few years ago. Both look a lot like that first knife.

What are they used for and how do they perform noodle?

All purpose cowboy knives with a lot of emphasis on butchering and cutting up beef in the field or at barbecues
