Gerber Gator Machete, Gator Grip Handle, Sawback Blade
With its many impressive features, the Gerber Gator machete puts all of the power and strength of the legendary bayou beast into your two hands. It includes a 15-inch high carbon stainless steel blade that's fine-edged on one side and sawtoothed on the other so you can use it on practically anything: small trees, firewood, brush, and hostile swamp rats. Its handle is covered with Gerber's trademark Gator grip, which will maintain your grip in even the dankest humidity. And with its included nylon sheath, you'll be able to take this blade anywhere and keep it clean and dry.

In 1939 Joseph Gerber hired a local knife maker to build 25 sets of kitchen cutlery to be given as Christmas gifts. The knives were so popular that Joseph Gerber left his advertising agency to start Gerber Legendary Blades®. The unique style and high quality manufacturing of Gerber cutlery soon developed wide spread acclaim. In fact, Gerber Legendary Blades are the only cutlery on display in New York�?s famous Museum of Modern Art.
From very early on, Gerber collaborated with top knife designers, setting a standard of quality for everyone else to follow. Renowned designers such as Al Mar, Bob Loveless, Paul Poehlmann, "Blackie" Collins, William Harsey Jr. and Ernest Emerson have all designed knives for Gerber. In 2002 this tradition continued as Gerber released the Silver Trident�?, designed by Chief James "Patches" Watson (U.S.N. Ret.) and Bill Harsey Jr.
Today, Gerber continues to design and manufacture unique, high quality outdoor recreation products. In 2003 we are proud to introduce the next generation of multi-tools: the Recoil�? Auto-Plier. By constantly utilizing new technology and innovative design to develop new products, Gerber continues to be an industry leader.
