Used in	Global usage
Review (criteria)	Comment I would expect this to be called a sword, not a machete. The description says it's for use in a slaughterhouse (ritual slaughter?), so machete would not be right for that type of blade. Charles (talk) 17:12, 26 September 2019 (UTC) Thank you for interest in this curiosity. this weapon was well endowed in the French army under the popular name of "machette" and under the official name of "sabre d'abattis" for the colonial troops (Cf.Machette and here).--Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 08:53, 28 September 2019 (UTC)  Comment Thanks. There is no definitive English translation so scope should be the French Machette.
