A Machete is a large and heavy knife usually used in forest to clear out vegetation on your path. This is a common tool in Central and South America where most most jungles are found. A machete(usual English term) is about 50 to 65 centimeters long and up to millimeters thick. This tool is also a farmer's favorite especially those engaged in planting large shrub like sugarcane, coffee, etc.
In Colombia, Gavilan / Incolma is one of the top companies manufacturing this bladed weapon. More about Machetes, on the link below.
