Vibro-machete

Vibro Machete

General term for a cutting tool used Union wide for thousands of years.

While the term and the form of the tool shown are distinctive Terran, similar tools have been invented and utilized by many cultures and societies.

A vibro machete is usually a long cutting tool with a single edge meant to cut vegetation and similar obstacles. The edge of the machete is agitated by a vibration mechanism that oscillates the blade to assist with the actual cutting. Sometimes called Ultra Sonic knives, these tools are essential for farmers, ranchers, colonists and frontier- beings.

No mention of Vibro Machetes would be complete without talking about the Colonist 3000. There aren't many tools that are as common and as famous as the Colonist 3000, the SII Vibro Machete.

Made of genuine Ultronit with an edge honed to mono-filament ( thickness of a few molecules) and a vibration cycle of 100,000 swings per second it cuts through anything short of Compacted Ultronit with great ease. This made the Colonist 3000 and indispensable tool especially for colonists.

The Colonist 3000 had been used as a weapon of course and is virtually the same as the Army Field Engineer Multi Purpose Cutting Tool 19 (AFEMPC 19 aka “Army Shaver” aka A19)
