Hello,
I wanted to tell a little bit about myself as I'm going to be around the place now
My name is Ruben Calo, I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I've been making knives since 1993, after getting tired of office work.
I make my blades using the stock removal method and I design my own knives.
I'm friends with Ariel Salaverria and Nestor Benitez / tracer-san here (he made my new website)
Feel free to ask me any questions
Here are some knives I made:
Damascus Criollo Knife
Blade: 6.5" in damascus steel. Overall Length: 11" Integral with file work on the spine. Handle: polished axis deer with spacers in wood and alpaca metal. Pommel also in alpaca metal with a fleur de lys.
English Style Bowie
Blade: 10" in 5160, mirror finish. Overall Length: 15.5". Full flat tang with some file work on the spine near the guard. Handle: red deer stag slabs with engraved guard and pommel in alpaca metal.
Medium Size Drop Point
Blade: 5" in N678, mirror finish. Overall Length: 9.5" Full flat tang. Handle: red deer stag slabs worked and dyed to look like mammoth ivory. Bolsters in alpaca metal.
Filed Drop Point
7" overall lenght. Filed blade in 440C. Handle in ebony with alpaca metal bolsters.
Filed Mediterranean Dagger
11" overall lenght. Integral damascus blade. Handle in ebony with ivory bolster. Sheath in cow leather and alpaca metal.
Boot Dagger
4" overall lenght. Blade in N678. Handle in polished axis deer stag and sterling silver. Heart shaped onix stone in both sides. Carved presentation wooden box.

Regards,
Ruben
