mini bolo and leuku

[koyote]

I have a mini-bolo and a longer full tang leuku pattern available right now:


The leuku pattern (wilderness model 1)

Overall length is 11.25 inches

Blade is 6 inches long, 1 3/16 inches broad. Made of 1/8 inch 15N20, full quench and blade temper with a differential temper on the spine. Grind is a convexed scandi grind.

Handle is ipe with stainless tubing pins.

Sheath is an expedition model, fully hand stitched and double seamed. Belt hanger is adjustable, reversable, and removable for horizontal or strap/pack carry.

asking $180, $10 shipping in the US, and paypal, money orders, or checks all work fine.

thanks for looking!

Second, I have a mini bolo up. The mini bolo is a handy fine cutter with a reasonable amount of short chopping force. I keep the blades thin on these, as they are made to be camping and brush tools, not felling axe replacements

Overall length is 11 1/8 inch

Blade is 6 inches with a maximum breadth of 2 inches. Again, steel is 1/8 15N20 with a full quench and temper, and a differential temper on the spine. Forge finish on the blade is smoothed with 400 grit and the tang and spine are blued on worked areas to match.

Scales are Ipe with stainless tubing pins.

Sheath is an Explorer model, double needle hand stitched and double seamed. Snap retention with a removable, reversible, adjustable belt hanger.

Asking $185 with $10 shipping SALE PENDING

thanks again!

Kristof,
If I did not have the drop edged Nessmuk from you, that mini bolo would have been jumped on by ME! Really like that design. Also love the looks of the Explorer sheath- maybe my Nessmuk deserves new pants

I've been considering a thread for "enhancements" over on my subforum. I'm extremely fortunate that I can honestly say that there's no need or reason to mess with your knife, though it's one of my earliest ones! However, since Sierra came on and we challenged each other so much in teaching and learning the leatherwork, the sheath could stand an upgrade. email through the website with a reminder of which knife and we can work out an arrangement to reseath it for you.
