THE GAUCHO KNIVES

All Gaucho knives feature a 440C food-grade stainless steel blade. This high-carbon stainless steel is valued for its corrosion resistance, durability, and ability to hold a sharp edge, making it well suited for everyday culinary use.

All silver knives feature .999 food-grade silver plating over an Alpaca (silver-nickel alloy) handle, paired with a stainless steel blade. The result is a striking balance of beauty, strength, and functional performance.

We recommend sharpening with a whetstone to maintain proper edge geometry and longevity. A professional sharpening service is also suitable. Avoid pull-through sharpeners, as they can remove excess material and shorten blade life.
