"Three Noble Materials. A Tradition That Began in 1900. The Knife That Chooses Its Own Story".

Fernando is 45 and lives in Tandil, Buenos Aires. For years he worked on a cattle ranch, but his free time belonged to creation: lamps, furniture, tables—anything his hands could carve from wood. One day he left the countryside and returned to his city to turn that hobby into a profession. He trained in antler and bone work in a workshop run by artisans with generations of experience. Today, seven years later, he is fully dedicated to what he has always loved.

Fernando works with materials that nature releases in its own time. Axis deer antler sheds once a year, in spring, when the animal naturally renews it. Ñandú bone spends 6 months buried underground—bleaching without chemicals—then rests in the shade until ready. Colt bone is the one chosen by the gauchos: noble and warm.

What’s Included?

Black Friday Founding Heritage Steak Knife with your choice of handle material:

Patagonia — Axis Deer Antler ($300)
Material from an annual natural renewal. The deer sheds it every spring in a cycle untouched by human intervention. Lower availability, unique grain patterns that no industrial process can replicate. 20 units available

Suri — Ñandú Bone ($250)
Iconic bird of the Argentine pampa. Light yet incredibly sturdy bone with natural relief that creates subtly irregular tactile surfaces. After cleaning, it spends 6 months buried for natural whitening, resulting in a luminous white with delicate organic lines found only in this material. Smooth texture with personality. 25 units available

Pampa — Potro Bone ($195)
Gaucho tradition. Proven durability across decades, warm feel in the hand. The material the gauchos chose for life on the pampas. 35 units available

Materials:

420 Stainless Steel
Alloy specifically designed for cutlery. Holds an edge through constant use, resists corrosion from acidic foods, ages gracefully. Perfect balance of durability and easy maintenance.

Alpaca
Traditional alloy of copper (60%), nickel (20%), and zinc (20%) with the characteristic luster of silver. Used for the fittings that join blade and handle. Doesn’t tarnish easily and responds beautifully to polishing when you want to restore its original shine. A noble material of Argentine artisanal jewelry.

Axis Deer Antler (Patagonia)
Dense bone structure covered by an outer layer. Shed naturally once a year without harming the animal. Each piece displays-capacity unique grain, texture, and tones. Scarcer than other materials due to the annual cycle.

Ñandú Bone (Suri)
Native bird of the Argentine pampas. The bone is light yet surprisingly strong, with a unique feature: natural relief that creates subtly irregular tactile surfaces. After cleaning, it spends 6 months buried for natural whitening. The result is a luminous white with delicate organic lines found only in this material. Smooth yet full of character. More available than deer antler, less than colt bone.

Potro Bone (Pampa)
Traditional material of Argentine gaucho craftsmanship. Dense bone structure that delivers exceptional durability. Warm to the touch. Greater availability than antler or ñandú bone, making it more accessible without sacrificing artisanal quality.

Every blade includes your custom engraving at no extra cost. You can choose:

• Initials

• Meaningful dates (DD.MM.YYYY or YYYY)

• Geographic coordinates

This is not mass production. It is craftsmanship that preserves centuries-old techniques. Each piece takes 3 to 6 full days. There are only 80 knives in this collection because that’s the number that can be made with the highest possible quality—not the number that can be sold quickly.
