CAS Iberia Bolos

[Benjamin Liu]

Does anyone have any experience with CAS Iberia bolos? They have a couple models, the Bonifacio and Katipunan, which Kris Cutlery no longer carries. I have a couple KC bolos and IMO they are great knives. I'm wondering how CAS compares to KC. Thanks.

Actually the catalog lists them both as Katipunan, the Tusok and the Tabak. I have the former. Haven't handled a Kris but the CAS version has a so-so sheath and very little edge--would take a great deal of work to make the edge sharp.

No handle play, though, and a pretty decent weight to the thing. All in all, I'd still rather have a Fehrman HH 10 or a Crossada instead. Hell, I'd take a Battle Rat if SRKW would get around to shipping it!
