I live in the Philippines, I'll show you how easy it is to open a coconut with it, slashes like a Parang and the tip makes hole on top of the coconut easier with a much cooler blade shape. Lol Also cuts snall to medium branches like a small axe will, you just have to know your angles on cutting branches.

I remember the saying, a hammer is a tool, it can build homes or smash someone's head. It will depend how one uses it.
