Reverse Blue Damascus Knife Bolo Tie | Handcrafted Western Knife Bolo

Reverse Blue Damascus Knife Bolo Tie | Handcrafted Western Knife Bolo

The Reverse Blue Damascus Knife Bolo Tie takes Western wear in an entirely different direction.

Built by Mike’s Custom Bolos using a compact Damascus-pattern folding knife, this design turns a functional pocket knife into a bold, wearable bolo tie. The brilliant blue resin-style handle, ornate Western metalwork, Damascus-pattern blade, light brown genuine braided leather, and polished silver HELIOS tips create a piece that looks just as good hanging from a Western shirt as it does displayed in a collection.

Unlike a traditional bolo, the knife is worn in the reverse position, with the handle becoming the focal point of the design and the leather passing through the opening at the top of the knife.

Wear it. Carry it. Open it. Use it.

🤠 Reverse Bolo Tie Design

Mike converts the folding knife into a wearable Reverse Knife Bolo Tie, allowing the decorative blue handle to become the centerpiece while keeping the folding blade incorporated into the design.

The light brown genuine braided leather passes through the knife's rear opening and is secured as part of the bolo configuration. Polished silver HELIOS tips finish both ends of the leather, adding a clean Western shine to the completed design.

The result is part Western accessory, part pocket knife and one seriously memorable conversation piece.

⚠️ Functional Knife

This is not a decorative imitation blade. The centerpiece contains a functional folding knife.

The blade should remain fully folded and secured when the bolo tie is being worn. Always remove the bolo tie before opening or using the knife. Keep fingers clear of the blade path and locking mechanism when opening or closing the knife.

Buyer is responsible for following all applicable local and state laws regarding the possession, carrying and use of knives.

What Makes This Bolo Different?

A traditional bolo tie starts with a slide.

This one starts with a knife.

Mike's Custom Bolos takes the unexpected shape, hardware and character of a compact folding knife and turns it into wearable Western art. The brilliant blue handle gives the piece its punch, while the Damascus-style blade reveals an entirely different personality when opened.

It's made for the cowboy, collector, outdoorsman, EDC enthusiast—or anybody who looks at an ordinary bolo tie and thinks:

Yeah...but what if it had a knife? 🔪🤠
