Machetes come in all shapes and sizes. Throughout its long history across the many rural areas of the world, the machete has evolved many styles, features and adaptations for specific uses and environments. Names and styles vary from region to region, and often overlap, and you may hear the same machete called by different names in different areas. Preferences for one style over another are generally subjective, and like many other things, based in large part on region, tradition and experience. The most important thing when selecting a machete is what feels right to you.
