440 is surgical stainless steel, your machete s probable just a carbon steel. Does it have a patina, dark staining on the non painted part.

I have a Kabar one, but Imagine any abroginal would be happy with a cheap wal-mark $4.99 special. It is amazing what people that live primatively DON'T have but make due with. I am sounre on of them have $300+ knives, LOL
