Thanks fellows.

Kamilaroi, are you speaking of the "bolo"-type Aussie bayonets? With just the description, I'm not sure.

Over the centuries, bayonet and military field knife design hasa always been hampered by the desire to make a utility knife versus a sticking knife for soldiers. Bayonets especially are a conundrum for ordnance and logistical services. A blade that is rarely or never {statistically-speaking} used for its "intended" purpose {sticking the enemy} gets thrown away unless it has some other utilitarian purpose {firewood chopping, can opening, brush-clearing, fingernail-cleaning...etc...}

Anyway, the "bolo-style" Australian blades I've seen were such an attempt at making a useful tool out what is seen by many as a worthless appendage.

Get us a pic if you can.

Have used my cleaver now several times and it works great. Very heavy and makes nice chops and will make the ribs an easy job compared to using the old handsaw.

From here on in, after use, the blade and grip gets rubbed down with olive oil as a rust preventative and grip wood treatment.

What are the Rosary, the Cross or the Crucifix other than tools to help maintain the fortress of our faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
