My Husband Excited Over his First MACHETE. BeachWednesday.
Machetes are not very popular or well known in Europe, or North America, but in tropical and subtropical countries, the machetes are used as a tool, for agricultural purposes like cutting sugar cane, or they are mostly used to cut throught rain forest undergrowth or just a tool used as a garden tool, for example cutting down the banana leaves or coconut leaves, clearing bushes and trimming the grass.
In Latin America, the common use of machete is a household tool for tasks like cutting large foods into pieces or splitting open coconuts etc.
In Central America countries, machetes are used as an everyday tool in agriculture, such as chopping, clearing, cutting and felling. The machete has a long history of use and it is still seen as a part of the everyday dress code of the rural male inhabitants. In the older days the machete and the skill of it were used as token of manliness and it was also carried as a sword-like, which was carried in the ornamented sheaths made out of leather. The machetes also played a role as a ready-to-hand weapon for self-defense, but modern laws now prohibit its use as a weapon.
As a part of the male dress, it is normal to see a man carrying machetes with them on a daily basis, but it also plays a part in the cultural expressions like dances, or skill exhibitions and horse taming contests.
In Mexico and Central America macheteros are contracted in clearing paths for the construction of new roads or structures.
God Bless You!
Living in the Philippines we use the macho hammer for everything. Also most everyone is carrying a machete, who knows if they are friend or foe!

In South Asia, we use it in our daily life to cut things. Great enjoyment on the beach.
I bet is pretty much the same as in the Latin countries and I guess everyone has a machete in their house for the daily tasks.
I still have to get used to it, since I'm a bit scared of it and my aim is not that good when I try to cut the coconut in half.
Thanks for sharing how you use this tool in South Asia.
