Thanks for the kind words.

Nice. What are the handles made of? Black Walnut? African Bloodwood?

Hi friend, the red one is pau-brasil and the other is sucupira negra. Both are brazilian hardwoods.
The origin of the name of our country is that wood, pau-brasil. In the time of discovery of Brazil (year 1500), the pau-brasil are used for ink fabrication.

A big hug for all you.

Paulo Perci Fonseca da Rocha,on your web page, the tutorial about making the sheath, i am not clear on a few things,is the drill press used for all the holes? What size and type of bit? Also is the red label used to stain and soften the leather? My portuguese is weak.

My friend, I am happy that you liked my knives. Which styles of blades you do not know? I believe that it is the knife gaucho, who is based on the forged Mediterranean dagger in the integral form. I am using a translator, pardons me for any error in the text.

Hi friends.

My name is Paulo Rocha, and I am a beginner bladesmith living in Brazil. I started forging blades a 1 year ago after a course with Rodrigo Sfreddo in the SBC bladesmith school.
