Sorocaban Knife
The Sorocaban Knife (Portuguese: Faca Sorocabana) is the name given to a type of knife or short sword developed in Brazil, more precisely the state of São Paulo, around the turn of 18th to the 19th century. Its defining characteristics are the long and slender single-edged blade (frequently curved slightly upwards), the distinctive handle profile, tapering to a rounded pommel, and the enterçado construction technique, in which the blade is inserted into a slit opened in the ricasso and then fixed in place by three Rivets.
