Thank you Xas, so I was correct.

Hi Detlef,

Our bolos appear to be cousins. My blade measures 18" (about 45.7cm) long and the spine is just a tad over 3/8" (just under 1cm) thick at the hilt. Our sheaths are very similar also. I got mine at the beginning of this year. Did you get yours recently also?

Sincerely,
RobT

Hi Rob,

Yes, very similar! And no, my one I have already long.

Best regards,
