    Great Bolo!

    Overall Rating

    <span>I grew up in a rainy valley on the windward side of Oahu, Hawaii. Out there, we mainly used 2 kinds of machetes - cane knives and bolos. Both have heritages in Hawaii that can traced back to the sugar cane industry (cane knives) as well as Filipino immigration (bolos). I am comfortable and happy with both having used them for the tasks each were designed for. Given this, I’ve developed a strong affinity to these machete types and am not nearly as comfortable using Latin machetes that are most commonly found on the market in the US.<br><br>I already had a Brazilian Tramontina cane knife and a South African Cold Steel Heavy Machete (in a cane knife format), so wanted to round out my quiver with a bolo machete as well. I really like my Cold steel heavy chopper so ordered a Cold Steel bolo I found on sale on KeepShooting. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised to find a very serviceable sheath included despite the description making clear one is not included - super bonus!<br><br>Pros: Perfect length for a bolo (18” blade); I love the forward balance of the power-inducing tip bulge; a good blend of toughness and hardness from the properly heat treated 1055 carbon steel; durable handle material with ergonomic shape for multiple hand sizes; and I like the semi-rigidity but somewhat lightness of the 2mm thickness for a long blade that is meant for all day work.<br><br>Cons: Arrived with a painted over edge that was practically non-existent requiring 1hr+ with a bastard file and ax sharper to get a proper edge; and a handle texture that is oddly slippery but rough at the same time needing an overwrap of some sort (I used a bicycle inner tube).<br><br>Once I had the bolo set up to my liking, including a lanyard, I tested it out. It was pretty good cutting up a hard, dead, dried out lemon tree (held an edge and didn’t roll or chip), but not as good as my heavy chopper (no surprise there). However, this bolo tore into grass, reeds and light shrubbery like freakin’ demon, totally awesome!!! My super light Tramotina is good for all day light duty work, but the bolo is not bad for long periods either and can take out a much wider range of foliage with no problem.<br><br>All and all, I really love this bolo and it takes me back to clearing patches of jungle for flower beds as a kid in Hawaii. Despite some finishing and edge issues out of the box, it’s a really good bolo design and I highly recommend it if you are willing to put a little work into it. Chop, chop, chop!</span>

    Overall Rating

    <span>Well its a good weight good build however Mine never got fully edged its stamped but not beveled luckily I have the workshop to do this but if you didn't have the tools then you've got a useless piece of steel so be prepared just in case I guess.</span>

  4. Sumaiya Q.

    Not good for sustained use

    Overall Rating

    <span>Ok, if you are knocking down brush on firebreak road or some other slightly overgrown trail. If you are making a new trail, you'll grow to hate this thing. Here's why.<br>Cheap steel, needs sharpening frequently.<br>Handle is hard on hands, you feel every impact in your wrist.<br>Need gloves as the no slip grip only succeeds in being abrasive to skin during sustained use.<br>Came dull as a butter knife, had to spend 30 min or so time with lansky sharpening stone to get it to a point where it didn't bounce off vines.</span>
