Default Would you call this a small Machete ... or not ?

What do you Gentlemen make of this ? Would there be a name of it ?
I bought it in a local street fair. Its 'all steel' manufacture looks European ... to me. Possibly not mass production, although a very accurate work; we can even see a light ridge in the point section. A very solid piece. Some spots of active rust here and there, that i have to deal with ... without erasing its patina; hoping its age goes back to the 19th century.
