From KnivesShipFree.com:
The Bark River Golok has its Roots in the Traditional Tools of the Region of Indonesia.
This Type of Tool has been used for Centuries and has proven to be one of the most useful for Bushcraft. The Golok is Light and Compact and is easy fo carry for a large knife. It Excels at Trail Clearing, Chopping, Shelter Building, Notching and Spliting Firewood.
The large knife will take Batoning without a Complaint and it great for use as a Draw Knife for Stripping Bark or Creating a Flat Area of a log. We feel it is one of the Best Bushcraft Tools avalible on Todays Market.
Golok Specs:
Overall length: 16.775 Inches
Blade Length: 11.1 Inches
Cutting Edge: 10.775 Inches
Steel: 1080-C @ 54rc rc
Steel Thickness: .224 Inch
Weight: 17.125 Ounces
Balance point is one inch in front of the handles.
Ive had this golok for almost two years (Feb 2009). I dont normally offer American-made knives here at Pinoy Steel, but this one deserves to be used. I prefer my goloks light and fast, and this one has a 1/4 thick spine! Full-tang construction of course, and a convex grind with a scary sharp edge. I believe back in 09, they were made out of 1095 rather than 1080.
I flew out to the Philippines shortly after receiving this golok and it rusted very, very slightly in the four or five days I spent out of town. I hand polished all the active rust off, but some patina and extremely light surface pitting remain. Hand polishing the blade also meant the logos are a little lighter than they were from the factory, but this baby has never been used.
There is a tiny cut in the strap that I sealed with super glue: it was extremely hard to photograph. It was an extremely clean cut since the blade is among the sharpest Ive ever handled: definitely incredible on a blade this thick!
The original box has some oil stains, but nothing serious.
I'll ship this anywhere it is legal for $229!
