 Anybody received a recalled/new version? March 15, 2010
rhodeymark (Newport, RI United States)
I'm a little dismayed that so much info has come out since I ordered this tool. I have registered to send it back for the handle recall, but really don't use it as my "go to" camp saw, so wasn't in the target recall group. The tang situation is distressing though. I cannot see how they would be so concerned about handle slippage and not take the opportunity to address the ridiculous lever stress point they have created in the front of the handle. The Gerber recall hotline says replacement has a modified handle, lanyard addition, "and other safety modifications". Has anyone received their replacement Gator and disassembled? You can buy a full tang machete on Amazon for $7.99 today, so Gerber deserves the reputation hit if they dont lengthen the tang while they have the chance.

A perfect material choice for a working machete. Balanced about half an inch in front of the ergonomic grip. The reinforced sheathe makes for easy carrying through the brush. A fine piece of steel from Gerber. Perfect for Steeled Escrima.
Pretty Cool! February 8, 2010

I bought this as a gift. My dad was very excited to start using it while hiking and camping. I shopped around at a few sports places and the price on Amazon was unbeatable.
Expected More From the Gerber Name January 25, 2010
Navin Ram (West Melbourne, FL United States)
I bought this machete because Gerber is known for quality blades. But right out the box, I was dissapointed. It has a very flimsy feel to it. As mentioned in other reviews, this machete does not have a full tang. I do have to admit, though, the serrated side is very useful for cutting down limbs from my palm trees, so it wasn't a complete waste of money.
Not that bad January 18, 2010

I picked one of these up a few months ago for use on my 4wheeler. I ride in some nasty areas with heavy brush and deep cypress swamps. As the machete came from the box the edge was all but worthless. I will disagree with other reviewers here though, it will take an edge. A little time with some wet dry sandpaper and it had a very nice convex edge (dont use a grinding wheel, thats just nuts). I also beveled/sharpened all the teeth on the saw blade with a dremel and cutoff wheel. I Do agree that the handle attetchment is worthless so I used a little metal epoxy to help secure it in the handle. THe finish wears pretty easily and even with it in tact the blade will rust. A coat of turtle wax is all that is needed to prefent that. I wish the blade was a couple mm thicker because it could use some extra mass to help cut and chop.
I've used this extensively over the past several months and overal it has worked well. I have yet to buy a machete that didnt need some work and this is no different. It's flaws are just different than other machetes I've owned. Thus I rate it a 3 which is average. It works but it needs some help to work well.
I will say that the saw back has been a great help in clearing trails and cutting cypress knees that I get my quad hung up on. For that reason I will not be looking for a replacement machete for the quad/ATV.
