The Cold Steel Bolo Machete (brand part no. 97LBM) is known throughout Asia and the Pacific Rim for its distinctive thick, forward-weighted point, which shifts the blade’s weight forward to where it does the most good during heavy chopping or slashing work. The 18-inch blade is forged from 1055 carbon steel and finished with a black baked-on anti-rust matte coating that helps stand up to moisture and humidity in the field. That forward-weighted balance makes the Bolo Machete an excellent survival tool, equally capable of opening a coconut or chopping down a small tree with ease. It’s a hardworking blade built for real outdoor labor rather than display, matching the same core Bolo profile trusted by generations of outdoor workers.
