			Greetings Panton and welcome to the forum. I was thinking with the decorations on the blade and the overall design of this dagger that it was more likely from the Philippines than South America. It does show a great deal of Spanish influence in its design but I have never seen a gaucho knife of this style before. Do you by chance have any reference to ones of this style? I would really be interested in seeing them. What really puzzles me is what the scabbard is made. Would anyone else care to make any comments on the dagger or scabbard?
