Hollowdweller,

Is there any way that you can post some detailed pictures of the Reflections Of Asia Bolo.

I have just been looking at those over the past week and would like to see a little more detail on them. I am thinking of the 12" model or the 15" curved tip. I would really appreciate any info. or pics. What is the spine thickness on the one you have?

Thanks in advance.

I can but not today. Spine is not that thick. Maybe a bit over 1/8" They are worth the money.

i love it... this was my first knife that i got from Matt, about 4-5 years ago... i think i have 4 of blades...
this knife is also one of my most used knives all together... it is my go-to camp knife as well as one of my favorite kitchen knives...

on a recent camping trip, i had a friend's son ask me, "is that your grandpa's knife, it looks really old"...:D

matt's knives are all meant to be used... you're going to love em'...:thumbup:
 
1) ML Knives Hudson Bay. It will slice up your Thanksgiving turkey or chop down a few trees with equal ease.
2) Barktario machete- Just a great chopper & brush remover.
3) Marbles Trailmaker- similar attributes to the Ml Hudson Bay, but not as effective at slicing IMO.
4) GB Wildlife.
5) Fiskars 14" hachet.

I don't own any "chopper" knives,and only one camp axe.

So my favorite would be my 30 year old Official BSA True Temper camp axe I got when I was nine.With it and the saw on my Vic Hiker I make do just fine in the woods.
