DID YOU LIKE OUR FIRST BOLO? DISCOVER THE KALONG!

Here is our second training bolo machete, the KALONG, made from high-quality aluminium. Designed for practising the armed phases of Kali eskrima, for Kalis Ilustrisimo or for combat fencing, this BLAKLIST bolo represents a natural progression for any serious practitioner of Filipino martial arts.

Perfectly balanced, our bolo — known as ‘itak’ in Tagalog — immediately makes you want to get straight to the heart of Kali eskrima: the in-depth study of blades. The KALONG’s aluminium blade faithfully replicates the geometry of a genuine bolo machete, with a sharpened edge designed to provide a realistic feel during your technical training sessions.

A MACHETE DESIGNED FOR TRAINING

This training bolo stands out for its ergonomic handle, designed to fit all hands and provide a firm, secure grip during intensive sessions. The handle mirrors the proportions of a real machete handle, ensuring a direct transfer of the techniques learnt to the handling of a real blade.

If you are passionate about fixed-blade weapons, the KALONG will be your ally in making rapid progress. Its aluminium construction allows you to train safely whilst respecting the dynamics specific to traditional Filipino machetes. The carefully calculated weight replicates the feel of a real machete, making it a first-rate training tool.

THE KALI MACHETE: A BLADE WITH MANY REFERENCES

The machete is an iconic blade of South-East Asia, much like the Nepalese kukri or the axe in Nordic traditions. Whilst major brands such as Gerber offer their own carbon steel versions, our KALONG stands as the perfect training companion before moving on to a steel machete.

In the world of blades, the machete occupies a unique place. Between the hunting knife, the survival knife, the bushcraft knife and the jungle machete, each tool has its own specific characteristics. The bolo stands out for its blade that widens towards the tip, ideal for both jungle cutting work and martial applications. With a suitable sheath, it becomes a complete survival tool.

This aluminium blade from Kalis can also serve as a bridge to historical reenactment (HRE) and the in-depth study of the sabre or messer. Think of it also as an introduction to the world of carbon steel blades: once you have mastered the movements with the KALONG, the transition to a genuine steel machete will be all the more natural.
