Hi...


I once had a U.S. Military surplus bolo knife with sheath. I'm quite sure it was stainless, was fairly thick and heavy, and the blade was quite wide, but less than foot long. It and/or the sheath were marked U.S. Medical Corp, or something similar. Does anybody have any idea why a Medic or Corpsman would need one of these?


NOTE:

"Pathfinder", who is now posting on this forum, is NOT Pathfinder1, which is me...!!

Maybe this will answer some of your questions.
