And ill take that blade Skunk. Its got character. Do you own it?
Any history to impart?
Im loving it.
Yes, I have owned it since 1975. bought it in the philippines for $2.50 (the sheath cost me $25.00 down in texas in about 1980.
It is made from the leaf spring of some kind of vehicle and has only the temper of the original spring, in other words soft. BUT you can sharpen it on almost anything, say like a concrete wall, many times.
The inscription says "Negrito Hunting Bolo".
I have used that knife for everything. Screwdriver, hammer, knife, shovel, electrical jumper, skinning knife.
I Would LOVE to have a GOOD knife made exactly like that one, but then if I did it wouldn't be the same and I probably wouldn't like it as much.
