		Cuchillo gaucho (faca gaucha in Portuguese) is a generic term for a type of knife characteristic of the gauchos, horsemen of the pampas (plains) of South America, principally Argentina, of mestizo (mixed Spanish and Indian) heritage.
		The knife was the gaucho's primary eating utensil: a large chunk of meat would be placed in the mouth and the excess cut off with an upward stroke of the knife, stopping short of amputation of the nose.
		The cuchillo gaucho was traditionally worn diagonally over the small of the back, stuck in the gaucho's wide tirador (belt, usually decorated with silver coins) and secured by its integral sheath clip, edge up and hilt adjacent to the right elbow.
