Machete
The machete (
International Phonetic Alphabet: ) is a large
cleaver-like cutting tool. The blade is typically 50–60
cm (18–24
in) long, usually with a thin blade under 3
mm thick. In the
English language, an equivalent term is matchet (though the name 'machete' enjoys greater currency).The machete is normally used to cut through thick vegetation such as
sugar cane or
jungle undergrowth but it can also be used as an offensive
weapon. There are many specialized designs for different regions, tasks, and budgets. In
Central America it is not uncommon to see a machete being used for such household tasks as cutting large foodstuffs into pieces — much as a cleaver is used — or to perform crude cutting tasks such as making simple wooden handles for other tools.

Il machete è uno strumento da taglio metallico, con impugnatura e lama dritta a un solo taglio, lievemente ricurvo. Viene usato per disboscare ma può essere considerata anche un'arma bianca. Fu usata massicciamente in
Ruanda dalle milizie hutu per sterminare i tutsi durante la guerra civile del 1994. Nella bandiera dell'
Angola è disegnato un machete. Angola è l'unico paese che possiede una bandiera con un machete.
