You know what's great for brightening up a bad day? A SMATCHET. 
Though I would love a Clax....

That's true, and science is just now examining the health benefits of Smatchets! Early data suggests that Smatchets lead to increased muscle mass, reduction of body fat, increases in lung capacity, reduction in cholesterol, they grow hair where you want it and shave it where you don't and you can even get a better tan when using a Smatchet!

You gave measurements in cm, I had to convert that roughly 11-13 inches your looking for. The only thing I have to recommend in that category are kukuris. If you are willing to shorten down to 10 inches I feel a Esee junglas is very hard to beat. On a larger scale at 19 inches a itak is awesome but hard to use inside. Some of my favorite reasons for liking the kukri and junglas. On a shorter side 9 1/4 inches is golok potong.

While not a true sword, it is full tang, 1095 carbon steel, comfortable and can be wielded close quarters it has a 10" blade. The Esee Junglas. Another is a kukri 18" OA 11 1/2" blade by Himalayan imports
Or you could go cheap and get a condor machete.

The one you linked to isn't a real Extrema Ratio--it's a knockoff of a knockoff of a....SMATCHET!
