guys not one of the words you are using is a technical term, you can't parse the categorical boundaries between them because there aren't any. "Sword", "dagger", "machete", basically all terms with no meaning more precise than "bladed weapon". The closest you will come is that most "machetes" historically had heavy blades for chopping, but so does the kukri - and trying to formalise the boundary line between "weapon" and "tool" is pretty hilarious, because your categorisation breaks down when confronted with axes.
