Made up another large size JEST Bolo 
This one is made from 1/4in thick 5160 with full flat grinds and the tang is drilled out. This reduces the weight to 25oz which isn't bad for a chopper this size. Overall it is 17 3/8in. The blade is 11 5/8in tip to handle. The handle consists of green canvas Micarta over thick orange G10 liners. All of which is held together with flared stainless steel tube fasteners and epoxy. Sheath will be a taco style Kydex in the buyer's choice of tan or black. Price on this JEST is $400 shipped in the US. International available at added shipping cost.View attachment 1147872 View attachment 1147873
