I bought a new machete just the other day from the walmarts to make quick work of catfish I pull into my boat.
Hack... gut... in the cooler.. go to the next rig.
I was surprised at how easy it was to purchase. Why, those things are deadly.

What? No background check? No waiting period? No government issued license?
Cold Steel makes a machete modeled after a Roman gladius. It's considered a "machete" because the blade has a flat cross section; no distal taper. A machete in name only.
I got one a Academy, and I must say, the thing is a beast with a needle sharp point. The blade is slightly flexible. It's really more of a thrusting weapon like an ancient gladius. It would suffice for chopping, but unlike a machete, it's double-edged.
Just the thing for jihadists if you don't have a firearm. They hate the sight of their own blood even more than pork.
