TheGerber Gator Bolo is a sturdy Asian-style machete equipped with a 1050 hard carbon steel blade and a comfortable GatorGrip handle. TheGerber Gator Bol o is inspired by the traditional bolo machete, used in Southeast Asia like an agricultural tool for harvesting crops. The Bolo machete is distinguished by its curved and widened blade tip, which is designed so that cutting energy is created through inertial force. Durable carbon steel The machete's blade is made of tool-grade 1050 carbon steel, which is characterized by high hardness and wear resistance. The machete has a full-tang (full shank) design, which means that it is made from a single piece of steel. Carbon steel 1050 retains its sharpness for a long time, has high impact strength and is relatively easy to sharpen, which is crucial for field tools. Carbon steel has a lower resistance to rusting, so the surface of the blade is coated with an anti-corrosive powder coating. Tools of such construction are resistant to damage and are not afraid of hard work, which is why they are commonly used by soldiers, military, survival and bushcraft enthusiasts. A tool not only for survivalism Abolo-type machete is perfect for those looking for a tool for chopping and grubbing. The head has a strongly outlined belly of the blade and the center of gravity shifted forward, which contributes to excellent cutting properties, as well as ease and efficiency of work, in which we do not have to put so much force. The flat grind is not only durable, it also has good cutting properties, and it does not wedge in the material when chopping and cutting. The Gator Bolo is perfect for overcoming overgrowth, chopping wood, pruning branches and anywhere else you need a sturdy tool for the job. Sturdy handle A contoured handle made of fine-texturedrubberized GatorGrip plastic is responsible for the comfort of work and a stable grip. The grip provides excellent grip and effectively dampens vibrations during work. The enlarged hilt and finger cutout protect the hand from slipping on the blade. At the end of the handle is a clip to which a safety lanyard is attached. Safe carrying The set comes with a nylon sheath that is fastened with a belt clip. The ballistic nylon used is a material resistant to moisture, mold and mechanical damage.
