Awesome rough use knife for $10.00

[Diesel]

Found this on local Craigslist. Look familiar? Buy for $10... advertize as $50...sell for $30... Not a bad profit.

AHAHAHAHHAAH Yeah I saw that and emailed him telling him he was a crook

I picked up one of these, I believe it is made by cold steel

It is a full tang knife

and it is by far the single best bang per your buck you could possibly spend or find. Outstanding for the money! Same quality as many $100+ knives

Excellent, this is a MUST ADD to your BOB

I'll take a wild guess at China. BTW that knife comes in 3 blade patterns at the same price, I believe it is 420 SS, not the best steel but the price is still right!

Yep, and yep.

Where is it made?

After camping, and doing some more things around the house, I'd say this is an outstanding blade for only $10. I am well pleased, and will probably order another...if I ever need another.

Got it yesterday afternoon. It came out of the box SHARP...the weight is great...the blade is great. For $10 it is an awesome buy.

I was lead to understand this design (yes it is the bolo) was for Lopping of heads.

It most definitely has been used for that and because of it's design does it quite well. But most likely this design was first used by farmers in India or Indonesia, I always get the two confused.

I'm sure that it would lop off just about anything you took a fancy to swinging at.:D Truth be told, it's really to "blade heavy" to make a good fighting knife. I love it as a camp or bush knife though.

Dang! Double post!! How do I delete this thing?

I ordered one last night, and intend on taking it camping a couple of times this month. I will try to give a "heads up" on how it performs.

you see how the point end is wider than the handle end of the blade? this knife is made for rear attack throat slitting. it's a fine weapon.

I don't mean any disrespect, the blade is a bolo design. It is designed for hacking and chopping, like through a jungle or making a lean to. Not saying that it could not be used as a weapon, but that is not it original purpose.
