Awesome Tool,
April 21, 2009
By TFScouter

"This tool has proven to be one of the most important during the early stages of trail clearing during a recent Eagle Scout project. The blade retained its edge throughout the process and with only a minor honing, was back to its top notch readiness. GREAT TOOL!!"

Buy This Machete FIRST,
January 19, 2009
By jozman
from Millstadt, IL
|
"Great tool, I no longer carry a hatchet or bucksaw to clear small brush. Does some chores faster/safer than my Stihl chainsaw. Easily cuts through 1 1/2 to 2 in honeysuckly brush (a very aggressive nuisance).
As stated in other reviews, the handle is slick, doing this type of work you're probably wearing leather gloves AND the handle is drilled for a lanyard. A couple of minutes with some 550 cord or a leather strap and this thing is stuck to your wrist like glue."

THE BEST,
December 16, 2008
By TeamRooR
from Morgantown WV
|
"This is hands down the best tool I have used!! I am a field forester and my job requires me to travel around to many different places, I have to measure every tree in a 41 foot cricle sample area and the brush really gets in the way! I have used this extensivly!! more than a lifetimes use in florida, georgia, texas and most recently New Brunswick CA where it met its match!! This thing will eat through just about anythign, I have cut down trees 5", mind you they were really soft but I cannot say enough about this thing!
YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOITNED!"

Dyno-mite,
November 3, 2008
By SJMMJS
from Boston
|
"I used this to little beast to tame 1/8 acre of little maple saplings and thorn bush/tree. I mean, this was a jungle. Took me 3 days of 4 hour shifts each day. Its awesome. The tool comes super sharp and kept a nice edge throughout the job. The hook portion of the blade dulled a bit so I'll probably order a knife sharpener to renew its full potential. I would totally get this over the typical machette. Shorter blade concerning you? Don't sweat it. Add to cart! :) Other people commented about the grip and I would agree. Tape it up, get some nice gloves, and tether the thing."

Good Product,
November 3, 2008
By Cook55
from Michigan

"Heavy sharp blade. Well balanced and feels good in your hand. Cut 1 inch brush with ease. Only complaint is that the blade doesn't go far into the handle. Never had issues with Gerber products in the past, so not too worried about it."

Gerber Brush Thinner Machete,
June 7, 2008
By Mrlemonjello
from Hillsboro Or
|
"This is a great machete! It is still sharp even after hours of chopping through Blackberries and vine maple. Even dead and dry wood is no match for the very sharp and stout blade.
Why then you may ask am I only giving a four star rating?
I think the handle, (even though quite comfortable) is way too short. It should be about twice as long so as to keep your hands and arms well clear of any thorns you may encounter."

A REAL MACHETE,
February 12, 2008
By JoDe
from Andalusia, AL
|
"I purchased this machete and used it the first day. Clearing out heavy brush has never been so effortless. The blade is so much more sturdy than any machete I have ever used. No problem cutting through limbs up to two inches thick! The handle is hollow and eliminates the vibration, however does get a little slippery with sweat. Another user suggested placing "soft grip" as used on tennis rackets, and that will solve the grip problem. I do also recommend putting a wrist strap in the holes provided just in case it does slip out of your hand. It also comes with a great zippered case for transport.
Extremely great product for the money!!! I will order another and have suggested it to friends!"

Awesome brush chopper,
October 15, 2007
By kingkabelashopper
from Southwest Washington
|
"Really really glad I bought this- probably the best brush chopper I have ever used. It's really unbelievable just how WELL this thing works, I mean ya gotta try it to believe it. I own several pretty darn good machetes (thank you, Cabela's) and this works the best of all of 'em for brush up to 2 inches.
Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the handle- too slick (fixed that with some grippy tape) and the handle just feels, well, kinda FLIMSY...it hasn't broken yet though, and I used it a lot this summer clearing trails on a very overgrown parcel in the Northwest. I have definitely recommended it to my friends."

Backpacking tool,
September 12, 2007
By anth
from Illinois

"Light weight but not flimsy. Used it to chop firewood and clear camp sites. The molded zipperd sheath is a nice feather nd made it much easier to strap to my pack. only real knock is the slick handle, they should look into upgrading that. For the price it was good, i feel it wil hoold up well to extended use."
