Army Bolo Machete

The Army Bolo Machete is inspired by early 20th-century military choppers, known for their strength and versatility in the field. Hand-forged from 5160 high carbon steel (leaf spring of truck), each blade is water-tempered for hardness and flexibility, then sharpened to a keen edge, making it ready for use. The bolo profile delivers powerful chopping ability, while the rosewood handle with steel guard and pommel ensures durability and control. Completed with a leather scabbard, this hand-forged machete combines heritage design with practical functionality for hunters, bushcrafters, and collectors.
