Gerber
Gator Machete Jr
One blade, two edges, two uses. This is what sets the Gator Machete apart from an ordinary machete, and the Junior retains the same principle in a size that fits in a bag.
The two sides of the blade
- A smooth edge, for clearing brush and vines - for clean cuts with broad strokes
- A saw edge, for branches, large branches, and small trees - where the smooth edge would bounce off
You flip the blade instead of changing tools.
The Junior size
It is shorter and easier to store than the Gator Machete. It's the right compromise when every gram counts: less length, less inertia, but a machete you actually take with you instead of leaving it at camp.
Construction
High-carbon steel blade - it holds an edge better than stainless steel and is easy to resharpen in the field, in exchange for protection against rust.
Textured rubber handle: on a tool you swing at arm's length, grip is what matters above all else.
As robust as the full-size Gator Machete, according to the manufacturer.
