Machetes are meant for the jungle, where every tree is built like a nerf football. A 16 year old girl, with a dull and rusty machete can take down a 10” plantain tree like a hot knife through butter. They are also the perfect tool for watermelon, and harvesting mango, avocado, coconuts and bananas, and make short work of bamboo. That said, I’ve tried them out up here in the Canadian bush at various times and found the machete to be utterly useless.
