So there are various threads on here about your favorite edged tool ranging from Swiss Army Knives to Leatherman to Bowie Knives to a Two Handed Celtic Claymore.
This isn't one of those threads.
Specifically - This is the Machete Thread.
I have often been fascinated with the different shapes and styles of this un-glorified and utilitarian go-to tool.
Styles and Uses of Machetes
Machete - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There seems to be a variation on the light weight medium sized utility blade from every corner of the world. What is your favorite size, shape, material, etc. What makes a good machete? As a young man (many moons ago) in Mineola, Texas, I worked a summer chopping weeds with one and have enough machete blisters to know what I DON'T want in a machete, but I wondered what works best for you where you live and in your environment.
