I agree, the telek is very nice indeed.

Has anyone any idea as to the function of this re-worked machete?
Would it be considered a working tool, a weapon or a combination of both? Was/is the quality of the imported(?) trade machete blades considered better than locally available blades? Or Less?
Or is it just the fact that it would be easier to rework a blade, than creating one from scratch.
