bolo knife
A bolo (Tagalog: ''iták''; Cebuano: ''sundáng''; Hiligaynon: ''binangon'') is a large cutting tool of Filipino origin similar to the machete. It is used particularly in the Philippines, the jungles of Indonesia, and in the sugar fields of Cuba.
The primary use for the ''bolo'' is clearing vegetation, whether for agriculture〔 or during trail blazing. The bolo is also used in Filipino martial arts or Arnis as part of training.〔
==Common use==
The bolo knife is common in the countryside due to its use as a farming implement. As such, it was used extensively during Spanish colonial rule as a manual alternative to ploughing with a carabao. Normally used for cutting coconuts,〔 it was also a common harvesting tool for narrow row crops found on terraces such as rice, mungbeans, soybeans, and peanuts. Because of its availability, the bolo became a common choice of improvised weaponry to the everyday peasant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.quanonline.com/military/military_reference/fighting_knives/wwibolo.html )〕
