Hello

For clarifications

First: the "CARONEROS FACONES" were carried in the chair, with the handle outside, which allowed to be easily taken, assembled or disassembled. This facon lacks the GAVILAN (protector of the hand) because it is of elementary manufacture.

Second: the "CARONA" is not the saddle, but a part of it. It is like a folder or carpet, usually with a sole, which prevents the sweat of the horse from passing to the chair and for padding.

Third: The facon was not used to knock down cattle cimarron, for that the "DESJARRETADORA" was used. The main use of the facon is for the attack. To slaughter, hunt and slaughter cattle, a common knife was used

Sorry for the translator

Affectionately. Fernando K
