If not, anybody here have hefted one?
I'm looking for a gardening/rooting tool (in this case very small trees). I've been switching back and forth between a machete and a hatchet, neither of which is quite right. The hatchet is too short (overall), and the blade is too short, the machete is too long (overall) and the blade too light.
For some reason the word "bolo" got stuck in my head when I was thinking of what I needed, and when I googled it, it looks like the length and shape is right for my purposes.
Does anyone know if a bolo blade is heavier (thicker) than a machete blade, or is it just a differently-shaped machete?
