The Cold Steel CS97LBMS Bolo delivers exceptional cutting power for clearing brush, chopping wood, and heavy-duty outdoor tasks. This 18-inch machete combines traditional bolo design with modern materials for reliable performance in demanding conditions. The black matte finish resists corrosion while reducing glare during use.
What Makes This Different
The CS97LBMS features a distinctive bolo blade profile with a wider tip that concentrates weight forward for powerful chopping strokes. Unlike standard straight-edge machetes, the bolo's curved design excels at both slicing and chopping motions. The 1055 carbon steel construction provides superior edge retention compared to stainless alternatives, while the baked-on anti-rust coating extends blade life in wet conditions.Key Features
