Apparently, Reporters Don't Know Much About Blades, Either
              Man wins a gunfight with a knife:
Normally you lose when you bring a knife to a gunfight, but not Ramiro Silva. 
. . . .
The gunman stuffed the shotgun into a bag and ran into the woods and Mr. Silva grabbed his machete, a fearsome looking blade, and went in after him.
. . . .
Silva wacked the suspect with the sword, using the face not the blade. 
Knife, machete, sword....  All the same to the kids writing news these days.
I suppose we should just be glad that it wasn't called an 
assault blade.
