First one I believe Solingen. About 1760. Toledo was starting again in 1762, with Toledo and date etched on the blade. Possibly they are the same blades as some of the ENRIQUE COEL ones (there are 3 types of ENRIQUE COEL blades in 1728s).

Then, 3 from Halbach. Third one with a Batavian republic hilt. 1775-1810? Many have Montmorency blades.

Mexican machete probably Halbach.

Then two Solingen, after 1820, one marked by Knecht as well. For the Soth American Republics market.

Last one, also Solingen about 1740, in two lines. Easy to mistake with the blades 100 years younger. Central channel is narrower.

I have five "no me saques", 3 from Halbach, one unclear, one from Solingen after 1820.
