For almost a year I have been using both a Tramontina bolo and a Condor golok to limb small branches
(both green and dead) prior to sawing logs for our stove. I think I like the bolo better. What's been your experience?
 
I like the Bolo better also, I use a Bolo for yard work / pruning / limbing now. I got mine for free because I found it on a tractor I was working on, brand is unknown but she cuts and chops like nothing else.
 
What is it about the Bolo that you like better? I've been eying the condor golok for a while but I'm still open to other options.

The balance seems to work better for extended chopping sessions. The blade is thinner on the bolo which seems to help in in limbing, particular green wood. I also seem to be able to aim better with the bolo so there is less wasted energy. If I get a few extra bucks, I might try the Marbles (also made by Imacasa, the maker of the Condor). On the other hand, the golok is beautiful enough to put in a display case.
