Sorry about that. I was only trying to show the pic of a currently-available US Plumb M1917 Bolo reproduction. Sadly the firm that has the reproduction bolo knives has moved its entire store to eBay.

Here's a pic. Apologies for the small size; it was all I could do.

That chopper was issued to Machine gun crews armed with the Bennet-Mercie Light Machine Gun. It would be used to clear Fields of Fire and then stuck into the ground right behind the bipod legs to further secure the bipod. John

My newest chopper I'm working on of various lengths.... The model is called "No Sizzle"

Comfortable grip, and hits Hard!









I still have to clean it up, add my flared front lanyard tube, still some light handle contour finalizing, and etch.....

Very Impressed so far, really Chops
I'm going to make a bunch

No Fuller?

Deliberate and noteworthy design choice. You wanted all the weight possible under that chop.

Well done!

What steel choice is that?

A strategy in sales states that you don't sell the steak....you sell the Sizzle.

I don't have anything that would be considered unnecessary in my designs........
I've got No Sizzle.

This particular one is AEBL treated to 62,so far No chips. I plan on making them from this, NitroV, 8670, 80crv2, A8Mod, and maybe 1V

Very Hossom-esque handle. Like it a lot.

Jerry Hossom? Thanks. I'm not super familiar with his work, but I'll research him more.....

I'd say my design style for THIS knife (visually) is a muddied mix of Wheeler, Gossman/Livesay, and Kiedaisch and other's thrown in there too. Hahha...
I'm not even sure if that is a possible Mix, but boy would That look cool.... ha.

This chopper kind of looks outside My style, it's a little "too fancy" for me.... I don't like weird looking handles, but I needed a generic handle style that I can put on my bigger blades, that are supportive for heavy chopping. It's almost "Bowie-like". I made sure the heel is long enough to extend past the palm, so it doesn't dig into the hand. I also paid attention to the hook, so it's geometry isn't biting into the pinky as Many knives are known for.

I still need to thin it down slightly, idk to what thickness? Currently it's about the thickness of a 1/4" fullsize Becker. Whick I love, but for some reason feels a bit much here on This one. It might be because the underbelly of the handle is maybe a bit Full/Tall. I might lessen that some....

Thanks, for Your interest!!!
