I would say that my Negrito Hunting Bolo is based on that knife. ![[Linked Image from farm8.staticflickr.com]](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7208/6896689610_26465fbf9a_o.jpg)

As I said before, this is the one that got me started on Bowies!

Your Negrito is definitely a Bowie pattern...I don't see where the "Bolo" fits in.

I would love to have an exact copy of this knife made using GOOD heat treated steel. But don't figure I ever will. Just one of those things.

If the maker used a leaf-spring for steel then it should still be pretty good.

Oh It's a leaf spring alright. It does OK, but it's still pretty soft. The good thing is that you can literally sharpen it on a b brick. I HAVE sharpened it on a concrete wall before using water and it did work pretty good.

Of all the knives I have, and I do have a few, this one is I still think is my favorite. It has a LOT of memories associated with it. Maybe that is why I like it so much.

A brick or rock can work pretty well when you have to!

Sure can. I've used river rocks to "Polish" an edge more than once.

I used a rock on the Bowie in VietNam!
