South American knives

I am often asked to share interesting things I have tucked away here and tonight I find myself with a little time to do so.

The attached images shows some knives and Bola from South America.
There have been many nice examples presented over time in these pages and I thought these worthy of the mix.

If I am on target, and those more learned might chime in, the knives from the top down appear to be from Chile, Argentina and Brazil.

The Chile is a very fine presentation example, for I suspect valour looking at the script but this may be customary when gifted? The Chile blade also shows names to the cartouches within the scroll work. The large one is a great working knife and the Brazilian example is a fine example of the type.
