Hello All,
So when it rains it pours....first the wife with the root canal and now the brakes go out in my car....while the wife is driving back from the hospital!! Luckily she made it to the repair show ok, but the bill is just ever so slightly steep....means it's time to trade knives for cash to pay the man. To that end, I have the following for sale:
**Custom military-style, D-guard bolo from maker Mike Wood in Delaware. This blade is pristine in every respect and has never been out of the house other than to take pictures. Details from the maker are as follows:
"It's 17. 1/4" overall and weighs 31 oz.
The blade is 1095 spring steel 12" X 2. 3/16" and 1/4" thick.
The fittings are 1018 steel WELDED
to the full tang.
The handle is 5" long with scales of Curly Maple.
The sheath is 10 oz. leather with black steel rivets and a
black steel snap.
It's cemented at the spacer and hand stitched
using doubled waxed nylon saddle stitching thread making for an
extremely rugged, rough use sheath.
The rough beveled blade is reheated in the forge to glowing red
and quenched in strained used motor oil. After it's cleaned of slag
it's brought back up in temp. until it can be struck with a file.
I leave the file marks showing. I like a handmade knife to look
handmade.
This is how I harden / temper my blades. They hold an edge
extremely well."
