The Machete in History: From Sugar Cane to National Symbol
The machete is one of the few tools that has retained its original, brilliantly simple form over centuries. It originally emerged as an agricultural tool intended for harvesting sugar cane in Latin America and the Caribbean. Over time, however, due to its availability and effectiveness, it became a symbol of resistance and liberation movements. Interestingly, the machete is so deeply rooted in culture that it even made its way onto the national flag and coat of arms of Angola, where it symbolises the peasantry and the struggle for independence. In a European context, it is a close relative of the "hanger" or "fascine knife," historically used by woodsmen and infantry.
How to Properly Care for Your Machete
Since the blade is made of carbon steel (not stainless), it requires your attention to prevent rust. After each use, clean it of dirt and plant sap, dry it thoroughly, and apply a thin layer of oil (e.g., Ballistol or standard mineral oil). You can occasionally treat the wooden handle with linseed oil or beeswax to prevent the wood from drying out and cracking.
Safety Warning
This machete is a sharp bladed weapon and working tool. Never use it for contact sparring or human-to-human combat, as there is a risk of severe injury or death. Always ensure that no other persons are within the swing radius when chopping. The machete is not intended for prying or for striking metal objects and stones – this could result in edge chipping or blade breakage.
For a complete setup, I recommend getting a sharpening stone to maintain the edge and high-quality leather gloves to protect your hands during heavy outdoor work.
