Machetes, 16- to 20-Inch Blades

Machetes, which are also known as cutlasses in some parts of the world, are typically very thin-bladed tools for chopping vegetation, but are also used as hacking weapons in regions where firearms are not available. Machetes are subject to high impact stress during regular use so tough, spring-like blade qualities are desirable. A search around the world will reveal hundreds of common patterns with this genre of knife, so design isn’t very restrictive. Machete blades are usually wide enough to provide adequate strength for the thin blades and also to withstand years of repetitive sharpening. When more momentum is desired, more weight will be present towards the tip of the blade.
