Machete

 

— a distinctive feature of all modern machetes is the large size of the blade — even in the most compact models, it usually exceeds 20 cm. Due to this, such products are designed mainly for cutting and are closer to axes than to knives. They are useful for clearing bushes and small trees, cutting a path through dense vegetation, and the like.

It should be noted that in addition to the classic machete with a “Latin” profile (slightly widening towards the tip), this category also includes other types of large knives in our catalog — in particular, Nepalese kukris, Malaysian goloks and parangs, as well as Philippine bolos. The specific type for each machete model is specified in the card of the product itself, in the “Blade Profile” paragraph.
