Gauchos and Their Knives

Hi G. Maisey,

Yes, it gives as good an overview as I have found anywhere in English, notwithstanding that it has one bad error (Garibaldi did not found Buenos Aires for the 2nd time, that was done By Juan de Garay in 1580 - Garibaldi fought in Uruguay in the 1800s, before returning to Italy) and it uncritically repeats a number of common culturally entrenched platitudes regarding knives. Nevertheless, I still think that it is a worthwhile read.

Cheers
Chris
