 Unleash Adventure: The Ultimate US Model 1917 Sharp Bolo Knife with Scabbard – Perfect for Thrill-Seekers!

Our military has relied on the same reliable bolo knife for decades, from the late 1800s through World War II. This versatile tool, manufactured between 1897 and 1918, underwent several improvements during its production period. Initially distributed to medical personnel in the field, it was later issued to combat troops for various purposes such as clearing brush, creating fields of fire, and tackling any task that required a strong cutting tool.
One of the standout features of this bolo knife is its heavy-duty high carbon steel blade, which is sharpened and heat treated in a computer-controlled kiln. The first two inches of the reverse edge are also sharp, adding to its functionality. The knife boasts a full tang that seamlessly integrates with the pommel, ensuring durability and stability. Additionally, the dark close-grained wood grips are securely fastened with two large bolts, providing a comfortable and reliable grip.
To authenticate its origin and production year, the blade base is stamped with "US MOD 1917 CT" on the right side, while the left side bears the stamp "PLUMB STLOUIS 1918". These markings serve as a testament to the knife's authenticity and historical significance.
