Bolo Machete – Hand-Forged Jungle Chopper with Copper Guard

The Bolo Machete is a traditional jungle tool known for its forward-weighted chopping power and iconic wide blade. This hand-forged version brings the time-tested Filipino design into a modern, high-performance build—crafted from 5160 spring steel and enhanced with a polished finish and a solid copper guard for added durability and elegance.

Built to thrive in jungle and field environments, the bolo’s wide belly excels at clearing vegetation, chopping wood, and performing heavy-duty outdoor tasks. The full tang construction ensures long-lasting reliability, while the water-tempered blade offers excellent hardness and edge retention.
