[Or maybe not. More on post 22.]Maybe this is enough gaucho knives for now.

Thanks. I was happy to hear it.
Funny the double-think I have about ages: Woh, 60 years is pretty old!/Wait a minute, I'm only 61.

[As for Elmo vs Eberle, I give up]
Edited to add:
I finally saw one that says (Abromo) Eberle on it, and has the twisted bugle.
And one that says Elmo on it and has a helmet device on it.
So I I think that settles it. I do have three Brazillians and one Argentine.

I have seven of them now. All are Brazillian Eberles (twisted bugle mark), except the short, broad, Argentinian Ju-ca of Tandil, the black wrapped one with no marks, and the home-made one with wood handles and leather sheath. I'm keeping an eye peeled for a Brazillian Elmo (helmet mark (duh, elmo is Portuguese for helmet)).
Roughly in order of acquisition, except the wooden one belongs in the middle.

The only one with a name is old Sweet Tooth, because it was made for a mechanical engineer on a sugar plantation in the 1960s.
