It looks like an Argentine Facón. As Tom said, Gaucho is a traditional name for the Argentine Cowboys. They would carry the facón in the small of their back tucked behind their belt.

I missed the knife edge measurements earlier. The Facón was more of a large fighting/butcher knife. This is more of what they would call a asado “grilling” knife.
 
This is an interesting thread. Since we are discussing South American knives I want to post this picture. This is a Brazilian muladero, a Brazilian cowboy. He carries a similar knife in a very unusual sheath. Has anyone seen this before? Anyone have an idea why this would be practical? I have seen several like this, seems to be very common to this region. I tried researching this and found nothing.

That one has me stumped!

Not sure on this one. I have connections in many of the South American countries but sadly not Brazil.
