Bine ate venit to ETS and buna dimineata from California. Is this going to be your only tool? Do you have a smaller pocket knife or saw? Niether knife is going to handle smaller, delicate duties very well. If this is to collect and split beech firewood or deal with an unruly carpathian bear the bolo would be my choice. With their limits either knife will serve you. Many people have done so with much worse. If you believe your knife is urat the results will be too. Something like our effforts at english and romanian <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
