Hello got my hands on an old machete today. I'm raised with an axe and a small knife but when I saw this video I thought I would have a go at it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVHeKNbRXgc
Total length is 52 cm. Flat grind near the handle and convex for chopping. Squared on the back near the handle for scraping. Judging on the rust it seems to be made of carbon steele. Full tang.
Quite good shape when I got it, no nicks in the blade.

After some shaping, sharpening and polishing.
