Gerber Gator Machete (31-000758) is an attempt to create a real multi-tool for typical forest activities. The product combines the functionality of a large blade with a wood saw. Combined with the use of modern materials, this idea translates into an interesting proposition for all outdoor enthusiasts.
The machete blade is made of stainless steel. Thanks to this, the tool will be perfect even in high humidity conditions, without requiring additional care or maintenance. The handle of the Gerber Gator model is characteristic of the GatorGrip® brand products. The grip is made of a modern, thermoplastic elastomer with a texture reminiscent of alligator skin. This technology provides a very high grip, which is important especially when using a tool such as a machete.
The shape of the tool refers to the typical, large machetes, which work well, for example, in equatorial forests. The flat scandi grind ensures very high cutting edge strength. Thanks to this, Gator is not afraid of such tasks as chopping hard wood, hewing stakes, or various camp work. At first glance, the presence of the saw on the back attracts attention. Although usually similar solutions have only an aesthetic function, in the case of this model we are dealing with a full-fledged tool with which we can easily saw through thicker branches. In the Gator model, its additional advantage is its length, which ensures very high cutting efficiency.
The large handle is also a characteristic element of the machete. Its interesting shape provides a very good grip and firm support, which we will appreciate, for example, when working with wet or tired hands. At the end of the handle there is a hole with a cord attached, thanks to which we can additionally protect the tool against slipping out of the hand. In the set with the machete, we also get a durable black cordura scabbard, which allows you to safely carry the tool or attach it to the backpack.
The Gerber Gator Machete is a large tool that can certainly prove useful on long, demanding trips. Thanks to its dimensions and original design, it combines two very practical functions - the long blade allows you to clear its way through the thicket, and the saw allows you to effectively perform camp work, prepare wood for a fire, etc.
