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!

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.

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!
