6 Reasons People Are Gifting This Silver-Sheathed Asado Knife Instead of Another Bottle of Whiskey

The handle is a real piece of deer antler. Every ridge, bump and shade of brown is its own. Next to it sits a sheath cut by hand, line by line, with chisel and hammer. Nobody else at his table will have this one.

A lot of "silver" knives online are shiny coating over cheap metal, and you can't tell from a photo. So we say it plainly: the sheath is nickel silver (alpaca), chiseled by hand, then silver-plated. And we had it checked. An independent lab in Buenos Aires cut a sheath in cross-section and examined it under a microscope at 500x. It confirmed a real layer of silver over a nickel base. No guessing, no "fine silver" fairy tale.

This isn't a showpiece for a glass case. On the pampas, the gaucho cut his meat with this knife and speared it like a fork. At his next asado, he slides it out of the silver sheath and it becomes the knife everyone asks about.

The knife in its silver-plated sheath, a lined presentation box, our signature Gaucho ribbon and a postcard for your note. Write your message; we take care of the rest.

Antler darkens where the hand holds it, and silver softens into a patina. Years from now it will be his knife, worn to his hand, and someday his son's. And when he tells the story, it starts with "my wife picked it out."
