Gerber Gear DoubleDown - Folding Machete for Camping & Hunting Gear - Green/Stone

So in true form fashion within the first hour i took it apart and took the four locks out. Loosened the main bolts and loc tite applied. It is now a giant butterfly knife. And its awesome! One hand operating and the giant lock at the bottom suffices more than enough to keep it closed or open. I will update once i chop or cut brush or branches. But it comes nice a sharp its heavy like its supposed to be for a machete. But yea they could do without the four locks. Its over kill

Heavy duty

I've been looking at this thing for months and finally tried it out. I like it! The folded package into its sheath is compact and solid. The sheath itself is solidly built and holds the knife well.The knife is easy to deploy, once you know how. I didn't like the safeties at first, but after working with it for a while I quickly figured out why they are there. With such a large blade that many are not used to handling, it would be easy to make a mistake.I actually like the green color, and the handle is easy to grip and control. There is a lot of leverage in the length making Shor work of whatever you are swinging at.The blade is sharp and holds an edge well! I did several chores with it, as well as batoning and it never lost its edge. I look forward to putting it through its paces this spring.Be aware! The locking mechanism at the vase is VERY stiff at first. It's taking a lot to get it where I can open it just by hand. I now see it as a good thing as it will positively hold the handles open or closed. Just don't look for quick deployment. Also, one of the four squeeze locks on mine doesn't have a spring holding the button out. It's ok as I have three more to hold the locks, but it is something to be aware of.Overall I am glad I bought it. I will have some fun with it!

Great knife, makes a small machete to use for cutting brush, bought for turkey hunting but it is heavy, no problems opening or closing, only down side to this is its weight but it has to be for its purpose.

Once you remove all the silly locks it’s a pretty good knife

Strong and beautiful knife very easy to get used to it

Nice to have for packing light while outdoors

Great tool for everyday use or the go bag.
