	Bolo knife - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A bolo is a kind of machete, used particularly in the jungles of Indonesia, the Philippines, and in the sugar fields of Cuba.
		Such bolo knives were a particular favorite of the Filipino resistance during the Commonwealth period, and during the Philippine-American War.
		For this reason the study of the bolo is common in the Filipino martial arts.

	Review : Tramontina Bolo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)

	MILITARY BOLO KNIVES
		As a direct result of the experience of U.S. troops in the Philippine Insurrection, the Army developed the Model 1904 Bolo Knife, a heavy curved knife that proved useful in the jungles for cutting through dense, tangled vegetation and as a weapon.
		The scabbard for this bolo consisted of a white-pine body covered with tubular woven olive-drab cotton duck and rawhide at the tip and a metal throat with a catch that holds the bolo to the scabbard.
		Bolos were not issued to every soldier but a few were distributed to each unit in accordance with the T/O for the type of unit deployed and their mission.

	[No title]
		So many Model 1917 bolos were made during 1917 and 1918 that they were still available for issue in limited quantities throughout World War II, and unused surplus stocks of bolos and their sheaths continued to turn up in warehouses as late as the 1970s.
		Model 1917 bolos are still so common that their collector value in excellent condition is less than it would probably cost to make them new today.
		Long ago I saw a reference to army machine gunners using their bolos to clear brush and small trees out of the fields of fire in front of their emplacements, but that was all I knew.

	Knife Review : forged custom bush knife [bolo / khukuri]. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		It is a meld of a bolo and khukuri.
		The knife was used extensively in the fall of 2001 limbing smaller sticks as well as some felling and bucking.
		Heavy machetes like the Tramontina Bolo also work well for such brush work but because the steel is fairly soft (sping hard) the edge retention is relatively low.

	Bolo punch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bolo punches are not one of the traditional boxing punches (jab, uppercut, hook and cross) and they are seldom used; much less so during a combination.
		When asked once how he came to develop the wide sweeping uppercut, Garcia said when he was a youth he used to cut sugarcane in the Philippine Islands, with a bolo knife, which he wielded in a sweeping uppercut fashion.
		Two of the most famous cases of a fighter using the bolo punch were when Leonard avenged his loss to Roberto Duran (see "The No Más Fight") and when Leonard drew with Thomas Hearns in their second fight (see: Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Thomas Hearns).

		This knife exhibits a two-piece, smooth, oval shaped, tapered, heavy aluminum grip; the pommel and cross guard are integral to each half of the grip.
		This knife has a dark brown leather washer grip that exhibits, mostly light, (some moderate) bumps, scuffs and nicks with red fiber spacers at the pommel and cross guard.
		Unfortunately, the description may tend make the knife seem worse than it really is. This knife and scabbard has seen hard use, but it’s quite suitable for reenacting or collecting as a representative example until a better one comes along.

	Japanese Times By Grace Talusan
		Each time the knife hit the board, Titong expected to open his eyes and see his fingers, separated from his hand, wiggling on their own.
		At first, Titong was conscious of the weight of his knife, as his newly married brother must have felt the constriction of his wedding ring on his finger, and was constantly unsheathing it, from where it hung on his belt.
		Now that his bolo was in the hands of the Japanese, maybe the guerillas would supply him with a gun—a real one.

		This knife is an early version having the thin leather washer handle with a thick pommel peened on a round tang.
		Neither the scabbard nor the knife have any ownership markings on them as to who the owner was, although it has been well taken care of as there is not a spot of rust on the piece.
		The knife was to be made from all steel to save on critical material such as brass while the handle slabs were to be wood.

		This knife was never produced as the government was in supply of the standard 6" and 7" knives at the time of the proposal.
		This knife is interesting in the fact that it appears to have been used in the American Invasion of Russia.
