Cold Steel Bolo Machete

Weight-Forward Chopper

The Cold Steel Bolo Machete is built for chopping. Its bolo blade widens toward the tip, which puts more of the weight out front so each swing lands harder than it would with a straight, even-width machete. That makes it a good choice for clearing brush, cutting back saplings and thick vegetation, and working around camp, and it comes with its own sheath for carrying on a belt.

Features

• Bolo Blade Profile — The blade swells into a broad belly near the tip, moving the balance point forward for heavier chopping strokes.
• Black Coated Finish — A black coating covers the flats of the blade, leaving only the sharpened edge as bright steel.
• Long Cutting Edge — The edge runs from just ahead of the handle all the way around the curved tip, so the full blade is usable.
• Textured Polymer Handle — A molded handle with a fine textured pattern gives a surer hold when hands are sweaty or wet.
• Hooked Pommel — The flared hook at the butt of the handle helps stop the machete sliding out of your hand mid-swing.
• Lanyard Hole — A hole through the pommel lets you fit a wrist cord for extra security or hang the machete for storage.
• Nylon Sheath Included — A heavy woven nylon sheath, riveted along the spine side, covers the full length of the blade.
• Molded Tip Cap — A rigid plastic cap bearing the Cold Steel logo protects the end of the sheath, where the point of the blade sits.
• Snap Retention Strap — A snap strap closes over the handle to keep the machete seated in the sheath while you walk.

Sheath And Carry

Two snap straps on the face of the sheath and a belt loop behind the handle give you options for mounting it on a belt or strapping it to a pack. The blade is stamped with the Cold Steel mark near the handle. The handle, sheath and blade coating are all black, so the whole setup stays low-key in the field or in a vehicle.
