Golok- British & Commonwealth Jungle Military issue short Machete

[@CommonManTools]

there is a lost love for these types of "utility" blades... everyone wants the survival knife of new.. when something like this combined with a small folding knife or multitool will do 90% of what most people need. awesome for sharing! all the best.

thanks! yes these blades were an essential part of a jungle warfare personal kit. golok, pocket knife, and bayonet was initially all they had. the folding saws showed up later. thanks for watching

Look forward to your thoughts and a look at your other chopping instruments. That golok is cool man ! Thanks for sharing

Brother you have a very rare piece. Especially having the sheath. This is a grail for any collector. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing piece of cutlery with us

[@david6920-r6z]

Thanks Brother, yes feel very privileged to have this one. I don’t know its history - might have even deployed to Malaya or Vietnam? (Mind you looking at the good condition of the sheath maybe not). Thanks for commenting 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

Hey mate enjoying the content. Martindale are still making the no2 golok. Condor make a nice copy of that too. Your one looks Aussie made to me... Lithgow. Just my opinion though. Cheers 👍

Hey mate, thanks for watching and commenting. Good to know. And ok - that makes sense that this might be Aussie produced. I read somewhere that Victory made some knives for military contract but that was just a guess. Cheers 🇳🇿
