© Jeff Crowner 2009This is my personal camp blade. I call it the Northwest Golok. The basic design has been used for centuries among various southeast Asian cultures. I took the essence of the golok and put my own spin on it and it seemed to work out great. I have used this one for various tasks in field and it has done well. The blade is differentially heat treated saw blade steel with a mustard patina finish. The handle is custom shaped horse-matte. I've let some others test and chop with it and the reports have been all positive. This is the one I carry for now in my ruck as it continues in testing. I am currently experimenting with other closely related designs.Northwest Bush Blade
