Marbles Bolo Camp Cleaver 18

comes with a very good factory grind on it. no need for any extra work unless you are really picky and want it as sharp as a razor !!. handle needed reshaping for my large hands but fairly ergonomic as it is. all in all a pukka little chopper for the money.

Fairly comfortable in the hand. Useful for chopping/batoning on the camp site. Very good for close-up slashing: a large but fast and quite powerful blade. The orange paint can be removed with nail varnish remover (anything with a high acetone content) It's well worth the money. Don't buy the optional sheath, it's useless.

Great value for the money Does chopping tasks with ease and clearing tasks

When it arrived the handle was a little loose and rough, but a mi ute or two's work on the rivets with a ball peen hammer and a bit of rubbing with sandpaper resolved those issues. The shape is excellent and it is nicely balanced for chopping work. The short blade makes for easy handling. The knife is very good for brush clearing and surprisingly effective at cutting through thicker stems. It is ideal for cutting up and trimming the branches of felled boughs. Much more handy than a hatchet.

positives; Its a decent short machete, does everything it needs to do, Its fairly light in the hand. i even used it to split firewood and it was surprisingly effective, negatives; handle is a little chunky and only roughly finished, ... and the color might not be to every bodies taste,

Well always amazed at HH delivery,ordered at 4pm Thursday and with me at 12.30pm Friday,as for this camp cleaver ,get one,great chopping ability from a not very heavy knife so great as a lightweight option, I've sanded my handle already as a bit rough and you get the one with paint at the rear of the handle and a lanyard hole with brass tube , for this price grab one .

Had one of these for years. Used as a daily tool, chopping, cuting, clearing. Best all round tool I've used. Fits in a rucksack, and it's not too heavy, so doesn't add weight if your on foot. Easy to keep to keep sharp, but the edge does chip easily, but at the price that is not a problem. With regards to previous comments regarding paint and handles, it's a tool for using, not looking at. Buy one.

I Lllllllllllllike it !!!

It is cheap so it is a bit of a project. I sharpened it to razor sharp easily. I am going to take away the orange and shape the handle to be more rounded then epoxi, wrap with string and oil it. Fit is absolutely not perfect but the steel is really good. Chopping food and to turn over food on a grill is my intended use for it. I will take it into the woods when i got a sheath for it. I picture googled it and it came up some nice mods people had done to this model!
