Finally finished up the Skyhawk Bolos!!!! This is a design inspired by the Bolo a Vietnam War Skyhawk pilot carried when flying over hostile territory. I’ve ground these to be more “knife like” than pure chopper so they’re very versatile! As I was building the bulk of this run, I built a couple variations too. All of these are constructed of 1/4in 5160 with a differential heat treat. Scales are green canvas and natural canvas Micarta. Flared stainless steel tubes and epoxy keep the scales on. Sheaths are black Boltaron with ambi belt loops attached. The eyelets will also accommodate a large size Tek Lok. Prices are $425 each shipped in the US.
