The Argentine house featured in
Every family has one. The man who worked the long years. Who fixed what broke. Who carved the meat on Sundays and never once asked for thanks. Your father. Your grandfather. Your husband, now the father of your kids.
You've bought him sweaters. Bottles. Gadgets. He said thank you, and none of it said what you actually meant.
This does. A silver knife that sits at the head of his table for the rest of his life, and a letter from you that he'll keep in the box beside it.
01
Some gifts get used. This one honors him.
In Argentina, the silver knife belonged to the man at the head of the table: the one the whole family gathered around.
Giving him one says it without a speech: you're the one who held us together, and we know it.
02
He reads your letter first. Then he opens the box.
At checkout, write him a letter. What he did for you. What you remember. What you never told him. It goes in the box with the knife.
Then make it a moment: hand him the letter first. Let him read. When he looks up, give him the box. That's the part everyone in the room remembers.
03
Chiseled by hand in Argentina's knife town
Tandil, in the province of Buenos Aires, is where Argentina's knives are made. The handle and sheath are cut from silver-nickel alloy by hand, with chisel and hammer, using techniques passed down through generations. Then they're finished in .999 silver plating.
No two come out exactly the same. His is his.
04
Certified Materials
Gauchos used Alpaca, similar to nickel-silver. We use the same material, but add a .999 fine silver coating. An independent lab in Buenos Aires cut one of our hand-chiseled sheaths in cross-section and looked at it under a microscope at 500x. It confirmed a real layer of silver over the nickel-silver base. You will know the quality of what you get.
05
Two designs. Pick the one that looks like him.
Ceibo Flower & Spiral: Argentina's national flower engraved in silver, wrapped in spiral detail. For the man with a sense of ceremony.
Spiraled Grip: inspired by the braided leather grips gauchos wrapped around their knives. For the man who likes things plain and strong.
06
He'll use it at every asado. One day he'll hand it down.
This isn't for a glass case. The stainless-steel blade is made to cut. At every asado, he'll slide it out of the silver sheath, and it'll be the knife everyone asks about.
One day he'll hand it to his son or grandson and tell the story. And the story will start with your letter.

Before you buy
Who is this gift for?
The most important man in your family: your father, grandfather, husband or father-in-law. For Christmas, a milestone birthday, a retirement, Father's Day, or simply to say thank you.
How do I include my letter?
Write it in the note at checkout. It goes in the box with the knife, so he finds your words before he finds the silver.
Is it real silver?
The handle and sheath are silver-nickel alloy (alpaca) with .999 silver plating. An independent lab in Buenos Aires examined a cross-section of one of our sheaths at 500x and confirmed a real silver layer over the nickel-silver base. The blade is stainless steel.
Which design should I pick?
Ceibo Flower & Spiral if he likes ornate detail and a story about Argentina. Spiraled Grip if he prefers clean and traditional.
