The Facon, Argentina's national knife, gained fame among the Gauchos for its large and simply shaped blade that proved ideal for a wide range of tasks - from dispatching game and livestock to repairing tack and saddles, and even cooking and eating the evening meal. Tracing its roots back to the 14th century, this iconic blade was widely used and carried by people from all walks of life, from peasants and serfs to the landed nobility.
Now, Cold Steel is proud to present their version of the Facon. Forged from 1090 high carbon steel, the wide and thick 12-inch blade features extensive hand-filed "jimping" along the spine, giving it a classic appearance. The handle is hand-carved in the traditional fashion from exotic Malaysian Sal Wood, capped at both ends with a nickel-plated steel bolster and pommel.
The scabbard of this impressive Facon continues the Argentinian tradition, being molded from thick black leather, sewn with a center seam, and equipped with a fancy nickel-plated steel chape.
With its impressive size and authentic design, the Cold Steel Facon is a true testament to the enduring legacy of this legendary blade. Its 12-inch blade and 4 3/8-inch handle make for a substantial and well-balanced knife, weighing in at a hefty 19.4 ounces. The hand-filed jimping along the spine not only adds to the classic aesthetics but also provides excellent grip and control during use.
Whether you're an aficionado of traditional knives or simply appreciate well-crafted tools, the Cold Steel Facon is a must-have addition to any collection. Its storied history, coupled with the expert craftsmanship of the Cold Steel team, make this knife a true celebration of Argentina's iconic Facon.
