The dubious quick kill pt1 & 2

That is why "Machetes" are a poor defence weapon. You will see this sometimes reported on TV from some destabilized African Country ethnic violence, where a victim in the street is cut maybe 40 times with a machete before finally expiring. A horrible way to go but it shows the inefficiency of the light cutting blade of the cheaper mass produced type of machete commonly available.
