Erm close enough. it doesn't have a name as far as I know, other then a latin machete, but its all home made anyway so it can be called the faggot knife for all I care.

Have you guys ever wondered how trail maintenance was done in public parks and national forest? Most people think "oh they send a bunch of mexicans out with weedwackers."

Nope, Its mostly white people, with dirtbikes, machetes and sickles. is exactly how we clear undergrowth, the dirtbikes handle the shit like grasses and ferns, and the machetes things like bushes/vines/palm trees [like saw palm and palmetto.]

"the divot" is there for cutting vines, or reaching over and grabbing stuff, while clearing over water ways so it doesn't fall in. you grab a vine with your hands, and then reach over with the machete, and pull straight back with the vine on the cutting edge of the 'divot' and it cuts vines really easily, anyone whos actually cleared bullshit wild grape vines, will know how they hate being cut with slashing actions.
