Cool! When we went to the Amazon in Brazil, the guys on our last day when we were in a market in a city told us about the well loved local machetes. I have no idea if they were Tramotina or not. At the time, I had no need, so skipped it. I kind of wish I had purchased one.
Now that I've got property, I've gone old school. I've got a ditch blade which I don't much care for. I've also got a bush/brush axe that I cleaned up and hung on a new handle that I haven't tried out yet. And I've got a billhook and slasher from England. I need to put both on new handles.
bank/ditch blade
bush/brush axe (regular 3' axe handle)
