These bits are so cool! Talk about custom quality! Sliester bits have a long lasting reputation in the western world for being quality, long lasting, and attractive bits. This one measures 5.25" as it lays flat, but with the contoured/snaffle mouth, will fit like a 5", as the contour confirms to the horse's mouth. Thinner mouth, all stainless. This one has the standard 4-point design, swept back 8.5" shanks, slightly shorter purchase, and is in excellent condition. Has some nice engraving work on the bit stabilizer. This bit is in excellent condition! Truly one to use or add to a collection.
