I’m adding this recently acquired example to this older thread. It’s stamped APALIT like Ian’s example, with the number 53 on the other side. No scabbard. (Well, it came with a machete sheath from Belize that coincidentally fits the blade 😂

Is there agreement that this is a butcher knife, and is there a local name?
