Blade is super sharp and easy to sharpen. The serrated edge is great

I've had this for years and have used it around the house to clear branches and other growth. It has held up with no rust. Sharpen it every once in a while and it keeps going.

Used it multiple occasions. Hacked many branches with ease up to 3". Couple bends and chips from slight misuse, but nothing that hinders performance, yet. Handle stable. Had this for three+ years. Now, I shove it beside my bed for extra security.

The blades are really soft, does not hold a edge very well. Suggest tempering a little more.

I spent hours hacking away at trees and weeds and got heaps of blisters. The blade did get a buckle after I miss swung and I had to stop using it. I hope to get a new Gerber machete soon.

I was gifted this model nearly 10 years ago when Gerber was apparently still sourcing high-quality steel. I've abused the blade tremendously while clearing brush and limbing trees around fencing and metal junk, but it's always sharpened true. I finally broke it yesterday when the polymer composite handle snapped in half in my hand after a heavy blow. I will attempt to remount the blade.

This machete is a great tool. the saw on the spine is super handy . The steel is good. It sharpens easy and edge is strong and lasts. I use a drag sharpener and it puts a beautiful edge on it It's my go to for tool bushwacking or setting up camp. Sheath is good as well . The only thing that's wore out on the machete is the textured "gator grip" but the handle is still grippy even without the texture. Ignore the other bad reviews of this product cuz I'm telling ya it's your best bang for your buck$

This is my favorite tool to use in the woods. Effective, simple, reliable. Definitely worth the money. I think these one stars are bots or something

First off some people need to watch training videos before attempting to use this machete. I used this machete to cut throw a 1.5inch thick oak tree with only one swing and little effort. I then found a newly downed 5in thick tree in a quad trail and proceeded to use this thing like it was an axe. After about 3 min of hacking away at this 5in tree I managed to cut my way through it. and then remove it from the trail. The blade does need to be sharpened now. But I don't think it was designed for that kind of use. GOOD PRICE AND VALUE. JUST REMEMBER TOOLS WORK THE BEST, WHEN THEY ARE USED PROPERLY!!!!!!

I got one of these 2 years ago. I've put it through constant hell. I had the misfortune of it being stolen. A friend bought me a fiskars that was supposedly comparable. After one morning using it i realized just how good the gerber was,promptly returned the fiskars and bought another gator. I wouldn't bother with another machette. Its a true workhorse.

I haven't had any problems so farwith it and the only problem I got is when I got it it wasn't so sharp but still good knife

I found this machete at the end of a bushwacked trail. The brush cut seemed several days old, yet the blade only had minimal rust. # pretty durable.
