I picked up a Rock Island 1907 reproduction bolo based on the design from the Moro Wars in the Philippines. Hands down the best large blade chopper I've ever used and that includes my CS Trail Boss I used to keep under the back seat in my truck. The bolo now resides there. Used it on some bigger limbs I cut down off some trees in my back yard and worked effortlessly on the swing and the bite into limbs as big as my wrist and easily cleaved limbs near as big as my wrist and I have large wrists. Worked better frankly than any bowie I've owned or currently own, or kukuri of which I have a few. It is rock solid too. So there ya go. stay safe and keepem sharp
