Gerber Gear 31-002076N Gator Bolo Machete 22 Inch, Black

I like the design of this site. My life has been spoiled a bit, I guess. While I am not too familiar with high end machetes / bolos, this is no match for the home made bolos I am used to in the Philippines. In addition to their heavy weight and sharp edges, the bolos there have a good grip. When it comes to lifting, the weight is most likely to do the bulk For flooring and side walls on houses, it is easy to cut bamboo branches and join them together. In addition to its thinness, this blade is also light in weight and not at all sharp. A branch the thickness of a good magic marker was my objective when I went outside to cut it. Tree limb that has just been cut. With just its own weight, it took several whacks. It does not make sense for me to need to swing so hard just to cut a simple branch. The "TOY" on my hands is just a big stress in my life, and I just wish I could return it and wait until I get You can save your money by going to harbor freight and spending 10 dollars. Both sharpness and weight are the same.

This one is awesome. In a nutshell, Machetes are among the best I have ever owned, so I bought this one over a year ago. My home is Jamaica, where the machete is used for almost everything on the farm, if you're looking for a good machete this is one of the best, not perfect because there is no such thing, but absolutely fantastic. This makes it ideal for cutting through dense bush as it is well balanced and has a light tip. Sharpening has never been easier, I am going to buy three more, so that I can pass it on to Don't forget to use the carrying case that comes.

There is no longer any value in the product or the company. In the end, I ordered a machete and received a blunt object, so I spent two hours sharpening it to get a dull blade, and I'll continue to work on it It was scratched and had blemishes when it arrived to me. I was shocked to see that they couldn't even get their Gerber logo on the blade right. It's all bubbled up and looks terrible. I will never do business with Gerber If I go to the gas station, I can buy a 10 dollar knife that's more durable. There's no denying that Gerber is at the bottom of the barrel.

A rugged and sturdy design. Each time, I take this in the field. It's a balance and strength that I have come to rely on. I would expect that with a cheaper blade, but the edge goes away quickly. The wetstone that I keep in my pack is a wetstone. Brush clearing for my forward observers was made easy with this tool. Molle straps on the scabbard make it a perfect molle case. There is not enough velcro on the bag. After a few days of use, the handle has begun to separate, but it's There have been a few occasions when I have tightened the handle after it was abused. It was accidentally hit by one of my soldiers, but the rocks were easily ground down. I am able to cut through a six-inch tree trunk with this but it is soft enough for me to apply a quick edge. There is a possibility I will order these for an entire unit. Fan of his work. As a whole, I think this is a great tool to have working This is my go-to equipment for all my Army field training, and it keeps getting used. Still has a lot of life left in it but I frequently use I like how easy it is for me to take it out and get.

This allows you to swing more accurately and therefore feels more secure than swinging a blade that is too long or too short. Ultimately, it depends on personal preference, and I know some pros who can use any type of However, I feel this one is just right.

It was a couple of weeks ago that I bought this machete, and today (Easter Sunday 2014) I just got back from my first camping trip where I used it for all my chopping.

There was a great sense of weight to this tool. It performed extremely well, and I had a great time swinging it. (As you can see from the picture, one big problem with this machete is that its blade is chipped. ) Please don't be surprised if I need a new one as the blade is now damaged. I'm right, the blade is now chipped diagonally on both ends! ), and that has caused two large chips in the blade's front. This is a major disappointment for me. At the beginning of my camping trip, I was really pleased with my purchase, and at the end of it, I thought I had wasted my money. (
What kind of crappy steal you get I mean it. This is the main reason why I gave this machete a low rating am inclined to believe that the steel used was not of good quality. In the past, I would trust your brand name, but now that you have partnered with Bear Grylls, can you do for us what you did to him? Please accept my regrets, but I am not sure I can trust your brand anymore. This is indeed a very sad story.

It did not cut small branches or vines, although it had been professionally sharpened. Weed stalks that were hollow or tuberous were cut by this device. The cutting tool was not well suited for everyday work, so it should be left hanging in the shop.

Other than that, I really like it. I just wish the blade was thicker and had saw toothed rows along the spine. A deal this good won't last long, especially for this price.
