5″ Tom Balding Floating Spade Curb Bit

There is a reason to invest in quality bits. Not only is the quality so much better, they will last a lifetime. This bit, from famed bit and spur maker Tom Balding, is an example of that quality. A household name for a reason, Balding bits last. This is from Balding’s baseline lien of bits, called the Medium S Shank Double Cross, often called a floating spade. 5″ mouth, 7.75″ short shank, shorter purchase, and floating spade measures 1 7/8″. Mouth is sweet iron and has just started to rust. In very good used condition. Brilliant balance and feel to this bit.
