Default Re: WWI U.S. Army Engineer bolo machete - Stats?

I'm not sure I believe the "5 pounds" figure, since its pretty clear that the seller is just guessing. You could check it against the volume of the blade times the density of iron. So I'd call it a Good or Fine Falchion. Call it Cheap balance if it really weighs 5 lbs, but if its balanced to chop trees it can probably chop arms.
