No they did not when you were a kid it was razors


this article from 2 years ago shows how the machete has rocketed up in use in the last decade

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ven-years.html

Attacks with machetes soar sixfold in just seven years as critics say they should be on list of banned blades]

• The blades are now being used to perpetrate an average of 22 crimes a day
• Figures show machete-related offences have doubled in two years alone
• True figure is likely to be even higher as Scotland Yard did not provide statistics

and it came out of the West Midlands..
