I've carried this blade for 25 something years. I sand and round the wood handle, learned from Mexicans in the everglades for 2 years clearing malalueca for the forest division. I love a bolo
That is a serious chunk of fatwood. I have a fair bit now. Same as yours, old, grey and super sticky. Mine came from a root ball of a fallen pine. My hatchet & machete copped a workout. My machete took one edge roll because I hit a rock amongst the dirt. It filed out in seconds. Love the Tramontina bolos.
Well, I can’t say for certain. I have never been to Hawaii but I hear it’s beautiful. This bolo definitely works for the woody vegetation south Alabama has so I would imagine it would do well almost anywhere.

If you would have had this channel about 10-15 years ago, you would have saved me a whole lot of money :)

Love the Tramontina bolos.
I have this one. Bro you should try the 15” bolo! Its probably 1.5” wider!
Can't beat that Tramontina sing.
It’s my favorite!
I like the bolo a lot because of the blade shape and it’s just a smaller but good size to carry
My favorite machete!
Nice
I just got one of these Bad M F ers!! I can't wait to sharpen her up and give Her Hell!
Hai, which one better? The latin style? Or the bolo style?
😊
This bolo or the Latin style for the Hawaiian jungle?

I have an Ontario 18” I can say that my hand gets tired on small branches, I want to buy something lighter. how much does yours weigh?
I can’t be sure of the weight on this one but I’m definitely sure it’s lighter than the OKC 18”
Wow not bad
Not bad at all!
