Un poco, sufficiente por mi trabajo, y nada mas...Border spanish and very poorly spoken. More properly Border Spanglish-English/Spanish mixture of words.

You see these knives all over the mercados in the border towns. I would call them part of the border culture.

The name is bowie or bolo. Note that many of these have a reverse wedge section at the ricassoe; possibly evidence of intended edge-up thrusting. Typically well-made and of traditional native styling. THe whole concept of tourist blades is, as I've often said, exaggerated in a number of ways, including that, as recently mentioned by another member, they must derive from something?............
