My mother and her brother were looking through some old things at my grandmother's house and decided to open an old safe that my grandfather had (he died five years ago). There were some guns in it (which my uncle took), along with this, which my mother took for me (with my grandmother's blessing):

It's a 19.5 inch long machete. I'd like to get it sharpened and cleaned. The edge is slightly curled at some points, so he obviously used it for something. He may have used it when they cleared a section at the back of the yard to put in horseshoe pits a long time ago.
Size comparison with a butter knife:
