Actually I really would like the blade profile for the 13 inch FDM to be the shape of my Negrito Hunting bolo. THAT would make for a GREAT Zombie Whacker!
I just googled the Negrito Hunting bolo; looks like a big "bowie". Is yours slim ie 1/8 thick?
Nope, 1/4 inch thick. Have you seen the pic of it? It's basically the Case bowie (9 1/2) blade. The blade gets wider as it gets nearer the tip.
I saw a pic. It was referenced with Philippine knives. I though it might be 1/8 because it might have been an all purpose knife like for slashing trails and hunting. Is it strictly a hunting knife? Would it work for boar hunting (pig sticking)?
I think it is just a name they put on it to sell it to American GI's. I guess you COULD pig hunt with it, but I think there are better blades for that. I would personally want a slimmer blade so it would slip in between the ribs easier or between the front legs and up into the chest cavity severing the heart and or arteries and veins into and out of the heart.
