Origin of this knife?

[Brezolin]

Hello guys!

Thanks for the reception!

Gene, are two beautiful "facas de ponta". The only thing that caught my attention was the sheath of small, unusual. Usually the sheath of "Facas de ponta" tip is with leather, and when they had metal tips possessed typical format, similar to the body of the guitar.But a lack of large-scale production (industries bladesmiths) knives have a huge variation. (Posters on the link provided other details.)

Chris, thank you.

Jerry, this knife is very similar to the "Faca de Ponta" (northeast), but as Tim pointed a knife she is not Brazilian. By having the guard in the traditional format of bayonets and aluminum fornitures unscharacterizes the knife as a Brazilian. Some possessed guard, especially the imported blades (Some Northeast Brazilian bladesmith imported blade to lay (?) cables - like the gauchos), but not they had the same format of bayonets.

Best regards
