My Corn Knife(machete)
has a 3/4 inch wide back edge for about 6 inches about 1/3 of the way back from the tip, tapering toward the edge, hilt, and tip. It can be used to drive a wedge, dig a hole, whittle a toothpick, be used as a draw knife to make an ax handle, and cut a 2 inch limb with one stroke. I can't think of a single tool that is more versatile.
Don't think I'll be trading it in! :msp_wub:
