Check out either the parang as well as the golok both southeast Asian and great blades!
Would like to see the sharpening scheme on the bolo, and the blade thickness of both. Billhook may be ok for a cleaver. I personally never liked bolos, but I've never actually used one so I have nothing to base my opinion on. Just personal bias.
The cleaver style seems like it would be awkward. I've never handled one , so hard to say.
I just don't like the look of the other.

New designs, what do you think?
Billhook - Ancient design but I like this one model. Not popular in US.
