Manufacturers[edit]

"Applegate-Fairbairn" is listet as a manufacturer of smatchets.
There is no manufacturer of that name. Col. Applegate and Capt. Fairbairn were combat-instructors and designers of knives. According to their designs those knives (including the smatchet) have been built by several companies. --kj — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.139.187.131 (talk) 16:00, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology?[edit]

I heard "smatchet" is a mix of sword + machete + hatchet. Correct? 89.241.58.117 (talk) 21:50, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
