Disclaimer: I have no problem chopping down trees or making fire wood with an axe just because I'm better at fencing with a rapier instead of a sabre, amigos! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Do you carry an axe when hiking? Just in case .. i'm thinking survival here .. when bad things happen.
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)?
