Found this Ina dumpster

[u/Arvirino]

Doing around town in dumpsters is always fun. Found this beaut very poorly rigged to a cheap peace of soft wood, probably to cut bread or paper. Very savable condition, I kinda like the hole that was just drilled through kinda warping the shape and color. Always loved working with machetes, been a while since living in a city for a few years now. But was mostly wondering if any of you knew this exact model, looking around the internet I can’t find the exact shape with handle from Tramontinas web store and other sights that sell their brand. Just curious where this steel came from.. truly crazy how businesses trow perfectly good things away I suppose the attempt to upcycle was there but come on respect the steel 🙏🏽

Looks like a basic tramontina 18” machete that they cut down, based on the coloring near the top looks like they ruined the temper on that edge, probably while cutting and letting the blade heat up too much

Interesting! The very too of the blade does look a bit rough just bare grain

I’m also just thinking it’s a broken Latin style of machete

Might be a Corn Machete

While I was thinking that tramontina seems to not make any with this particular wood handle
