Blade grind query

[Michael Blalock]

I once brought a machete, (for use) at a pawn shop that was dresses like this, serated and smooth sections. I remember it was made in Brazil but was not new so it could have been sharpened elsewhere. It cut brush better than anything I have ever used. I would assume that would be the case with flesh too. Once it was worn down I could not get the edge back.
