ArchangelDM Posted December 11, 2017 Share #1 Posted December 11, 2017 Hi all Rarely do I post in this section of the forum , but I thought I would share my named bolo knife. Named to A R BABER of the Usmc. This is my first bolo and I absolutely love it. Its been named on the leather case , named on the handle twice. Whats your thoughts on it , its in very good condition and has the original Shoe lace on the bottom of the scabbard. If anyone can help with the name that would be lovely Merry Christmas Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
