Cold Steel - Filipino Memorial Bolo Sword

The Filipino Bolo sword or knife comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. The sword that served as a model for this project comes from the private family collection of Guru Dan Inosanto. This historical model, a type of Bolo sword known as Talibon, is notorious for having held its own over time against many formidable blades such as the Kris, the Barong, the Kampilan, and even the Japanese Katana.
This weapon was extensively used by the brave Filipino soldiers who fought on the side of the USA in World War II and the Korean War. Of these original 260.000 Filipino soldiers, approximately 17.000 veterans are still alive today. Cold Steel® will donate 10% of the profit from the sale of this sword to the charity The Filipino Veterans Recognition and Education Project to acquire replicas of the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor for the surviving veterans and their families.
1055 Carbon Steel
The carbon content and the relatively low amounts of other substances in this steel make it a very stable material, free from the brittleness that is inherent in most higher-carbon steels. This steel is excellent for blades that need to have high impact resistance and is therefore often used for large fixed knives, machetes, and swords.
