Summary
| Description |
English: The bolo is a heavy 19th century blade believed to have originated from the Batangas province in Luzon, Philippines. This substantial knife has a large handle made of horn with brass fittings. The blade is heavy and well-made with a false edge on the backside of the blade.
As is characteristic of Luzon blades, the tang is peened on the rear part of the hilt. The blade is made of laminated steel. The bolo's design follows the traditional form. What is unique in this sample is that it is chisel ground (that is, one side of the blade is flat and only one side is beveled). Overall length: 511 mm (20.1 inches); Blade length: 352 mm (13.9 inches); Maximum blade thickness: 7 mm (1/4 inch) Other uploaded materials by the same author are here: (a) Luzon weapons; (b) Visayan weapons; (c) Moro weapons; and (d) Lumad (non-Moro Mindanao) weapons |
