    Philippine Bolo Bring Back

    Here is an interesting one that I forgot to share with the forum when my daughter gave it to me.
    My daughter who is a Staff Sgt. in the US Army was sent to the Philippines to Fort Magsaysay where was worked with the Philippine Special Forces during a joint forces training exercise. One of the SF guys that my daughter befriended gave her this Bolo to give to me (there is a story about this), he makes these as a hobby. I have a number of these that I brought back for the Philippine but none as nice as this. I’ve never seen one where the handle is formed out of the tang.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I'm not sure what its made from, but it is razor-sharp. The SF guy who made it told my daughter it was forged, not ground out like most you find in the farming areas. I once, way back in the dark ages, bought a butterfly knife (Balisong) that was forged out of a truck bearing race in a place called Batangas, it is one of the tougher blades I have seen.
