Tramontina Machete.
23". Rusty, and handle is very dark with age, oil, and dirt. I had to scrape off some of the rust and dirt in order to see who made it. The stamping says "BRASIL" not BRAZIL, so I think this was intended for semi-native use. Not European or American markets.
Wooden handle. Partial tang. Looks like handle is riveted on, so I think the handle's wood is original.
A real quick clean-up. Nothing special as this is intended to be used vigorously.
Before is at the top.
After is on the bottom.
