Recently, I have become the proud daddy of a nice Nepali Khukuri 
(amongst other knives, of course - I love you all the same!)
When I was in Guatemala, I stocked up on as many local blades I could get my hands on. They're all great, and have come in handy many times.
So, (now finally getting to the point) I have this younger brother that is living in Brazil.
He too, is a knife nut (is this genetic? hereditary?) I'd like to take advantage of his situation (like a good older brother should 
) and stock up on some local brazilian knives - broadening my "international" cast. (whatever)
Here's our questions:
Anybody here from Brazil, or been there recently?
What knives should he (my bro) be on the lookout for?
What are the local working knives called?
What information is available online? Anybody have any links?
BTW, he is in or near Maceio, on the east coast in the northernmost area. Note: this is nowhere near Rio, etc. It's a bit remote, but since it's coastal, should have good port access, etc.
