While not really responsive to your question, you might find this of interest regarding African machetes.
I acquired this well-used Masai seme some time back, and upon examination it was obvious that it started life as a plastic-handled factory-made machete. In tracking down the manufacturer's mark, I discovered that a principal source of contemporay machete production is China, which was the original source for my creatively recycled machete.
