That's not a machete, that's a kukuri.

I've never known a stable person to own one.

It’s a type of machete. Machete’s are cheap. If you own an expensive one, your a dork.

Yeah, it’s, like, a farming tool. For cutting cane or squash stems. It’s not really a luxury item.

I think the implication was nice functionally and durable tools, not one signed by tom cruise. I am sure you know the difference

If you don't know that the word you're attempting to mangle is actually "you're" (which stands for your are, not a possessive) then you're nowhere near as smart as a dork.

Around these parts. They are fairly standard in certain places. Very common everyday tool in some Nepalese and North Indian cultures.

The khukuri is a common tool in Nepal; a generally humble and kind nation, mostly Hindu and Buddhist, with a recent influx of extremist Islamists from India. The tool is found in various sizes and used for many things, from opening a letter or can and otherwise managing food, to building a structure. Any extremist or nihilist will find or make a weapon, be it a tool or psyche.
