        Comments about Gerber Junior Gator Machete:

        Humanitarian field worker in South America and Africa. Only machete I would ever use. Excellent for clearing brush and sawing (especially useful when your truck gets stuck in the mud and you need to lay down traction). Field tested and approved.

        Great fit in back pack,nice light all around tool.the only thing I didn't
        Like was right hand only carry sheath! I'm a lefty only and machete
        Only fits in sheath one way and can only be drawn out from the
        Right side waist carry correctly,The sticker glue cleans off real
        easy with a bit of stove fuel in a couple swipes! So easy to do
        I did it right handed!

        Comments about Gerber Junior Gator Machete:

        This little thumper works great for hacking brush and the saw blade is functional and sharp.

        Right away I used this thing to collect firewood, and split wood, it worked great.

        The reduced price is an awesome deal!

        The only down sides are the sheath is a bit rough when trying to put the blade in and out, and the blade comes with a sticker on it that leaves a sticky residue when you pull it off.

        Overall a great buy!

        Comments about Gerber Junior Gator Machete:

        This more compact machete is not as effective at yard work as a full sized model. However, it is lighter, fits in a backpack much better, and is an effective chopping/sawing tool. Great for firewood gathering as well as minor trail work. The high carbon blade works well with fire strikers. Good durability so far.

        The sheath functions, but poorly.

        Lastly, as a double edged tool there is no safe side for the clumsy. Butterfingers beware!

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
