I got this machete and it works great for sawing down small branches and scaring people
My chainsaw also fills both those needs.
E S hahaha great joke
😂😂😂
@@WeldingForJesus maybe but it’s not scary if you run out of $5 gas.
@@thelawnguy7373 unless it’s a electric chainsaw.
I bought mine at BCF ( boating camping fishing) store in Australia. Blade was razor sharp. Saw blade was extremely handy. I love it. But the neighbors look at me funny when I'm cutting branches of my tree in the front yard. It feels good . I'm 6 foot 3. So it's a perfect length. Being a Serb! I love blades. I love this Gerber! Top video. Cheers from Australia 🙂👍👍👍
I am also a Serb living in Australia (Perth)!
@@usr1996 e zdravo majstor! Kako si? I pozdrav za familia!
I have had my Gerber gator machete for years and that part is still working right on the case
When you smoke weed and design a machete
While watching the movie Machete.
Man brother I had mine for close too 10 years and I absolutely love it. You can cut some thick materials.
In Russia I bought this machete under Truper brand. It is cheapest machete I found. In fact the saw is needed to be resharpened. By default it is not sharpened and actually blunt. The teeth of the saw was formed and sharpened by stamping and it can't be sharp. Factory sharpening of the blade was made with the too big degree (total angle of the edge is about 90). After sharpening total angle is about 60 degrees. I used Fiskars axe sharpening tool for resharpening the blade of this machete. I used triangle file for saw sharpening. Now it is really works great. Steel this machete made of is not a bad. It can be sharpened as razor.
Mine was about $30 and I can't see any problem with it at all....... and just remember if it's not Gerber it's not Gerber.... if there is anything more you need out of a machete then this machete right here I don't know what to tell you man you're just doing some extra stuff LOL
Sticker leftovers are easily removed with regular MAYONNAISE. Just put a little bit all over the sticker residue and scrub with any kind of rag or sponge and it will come of. For tougher and thicker residues just leave it for a while until it loosens the material. One or more applications could be necessary. It works every time. Thanks a lot for your great videos! Keep up the good work! 💪🏽
In a pinch would the Bic Mac special sauce work too? Thanks
WD-40. Need I say more?
As a sailor with this the velcrow is better than a button. Snaps all rust on my knives
I just bought my mine. I’m going to test it out of the woods.
Nice video Matt I like Gerber gear
Thanks Matt!
I just got this from Manards. I mainly got it as a novelty item but I wouldn't hesitate to use it in a home defense situation as a backup.
And you know what's even better about that machete? They made a shorter Jr. variation of it, for those who think having a longer blade is an issue for them.
Same great blade, just shorter and easier to handle in close quarters. It's my preferred machete when traveling in the mountains.
The wrist strap doubles as a hand guard to keep your hand in place when sawing and swinging
that looks like a fantastic machete and i might get that one and it should last a while
Cool machete.
The hole near the tip is to loop cord through to assist in a double pull saw action
Thanks for that.
With that technique is it for two people? What is the technique like?
Whatever metal they used for this machete its basically play-dough. It's really only good for cutting small branches and very soft wood. I used it to cut bamboo and the blade bent, broke/ripped and warped on bamboo....
If you are in North America it has a lifetime warranty.
Awesome video 👍👌👏
0:54 , have you tried wd-40 ? Used it on a sticker on the wooden handle on my sling blade , came off well for me , them stickers on any tool is a pain in the but to get off
I used goo gone for mine and worked just fine
Some kind of oil will do the trick
Yeah lighter fluid and gasoline also take stickers off as well as permanent marker. gas and lighter fluid takes off lots of things actually. Lighter fluid will take tar from shingles off of knifes and tools too 8).
How good is the 1050 Carbon steel for Gerber machetes
I have this blade also liking the brand Gerber, I believe using the lanyard as a wrist strap could make it unsafe if drops it should drop clear of you, I seen people put thingers through grip and lanyard works for southern England countryside bracken tall wide sharp annoying, sheath too big hole for nail or whatever. Africa South America use much thicker as used very regular. a lot more expensive for real good models such as gerber
good test
bird 1191.......ha. ha. that was too funny. just bought the machete works great. thank you for the video.
nice, the most sold Machete worldwide, mine is in delivery
Great rview...
BAM!
The hole i think is to attach a second hande for saw work ?
It's made for making bullets.
It's for a string to help with sawing
thats how u play with knives in the wilderness..
question , what kind of fitbit watch is that?
Hello, I baught the Gerber Gator junior (just a little bit smaller than the one presented)) and after one use , in ten minutes on only woodnuts the blade was complettly destroyed !!! I regret I didn't think to make any photos but for me this machette is a real bullshit !
Fortunalely for me I've got a forge and I'll soon rectified the blade soon and tremp it properly .
P.S : I have many machettes and I use it often but this is the first one I call "bullshit" (usualy I'm satisfied of the trade mark "gerger")
I have this machete and the blade dented badly with just light use on living branches .
2 more days I will finally get this machete😍😍😍
How is it
@@BroaddayAssassin I got the machete but...ummm...it's a shit. Sorry but it's true
@@bluebirdfish8171 yhh I might have to invest into an anglo arms
@@bluebirdfish8171 why?
@Trey Camero It's a shit, mine broke after month. It's a cheap NOT stainless steel..
I bought one and loved it!!
BUT it broke while chopping with it. I used the website to try and get it replaced but had no luck or response.
GREAT TOOL
BUT they do not behind them if they break.
If it was a great tool it wouldn't break. Gerber machetes are junk. Condor is the brand that makes a serious machete
Truper 13098?
Just FYI, the wrist strap isn't intended to be used that way. The instructions are in the packaging. "The safety lanyard on this machete is designed to protect the users hand from slipping forward onto the blade of the machete." Either way, it seems hazardous and I dont use it.
First visw like and comment :)
walking new york bronx with that 🤓
The sticker didn't leave any residue on mine :D
You remind me of Jason from the hbo show true blood.
use benzine to remove any/all sticky residue
That’s what I call carcinogenic overkill. I bet corn oil from your kitchen cabinet combined with a little elbow grease would do the trick.
How would this work against zombies
Awful, it rolled on thin branches.
Goo gone will get stickers off easy
Buyer beware: this machete is a piece of crap. After a week of light brush work the blade was bent in several places. The metal is too soft and thin. Absolutely useless. Flaxen Saxon.
Same with the one i got a real pos cheep steal
Yea half hour of slicing flax and it chunked the blade. Slicing not chopping.
Exact same thing happened with mine. It is now a kukri.
Tried to castrate my neighbors dog with this thing and it couldn't get the job done. Plus the dog tried to bite me. LOL J/K
Amen, Fancy! So much a “pece of crap” it’s an insult to crap. I cleared the brush along my back fence line, and the blade was bent and useless before I got 25 yards. It looked like Orcs used it in battle. The cheap-o purchased from Harbor Freight has a tougher blade with a more durable edge.
The sticker will come off, I forgot what I used but it was some kind of liquid cleaner
Blade length?? Thks bro
15"
i got this machete and sadly is low quality... i had to remove a few branches not the thick so i thought no problem but that was my mistake, the blade got a nasty bend maybe three to four inches from the tip the metal is too thin. If you would like a good machete stick to Tramontina its a good product highly recommend.
My ones covered in dents from just light use
Is you want to take the sticker residue, try gasoline, most of the time it does the job
You can get a mf sword for 25$
Better to buy a Forged machete made from leaf spring 😉
That hole is for a handle so two people can use it as a saw
Strap it around your chest or the back of the shoulders
Goo gone will remove the sticky residue on the blade.
I found this machete in the dumpster
NOW...
I have one is a Chinese machete, I don't think it's even steel.....
That lanyard around your wrist could cost you your life. Contact me and I'll show you the proper and safe way to lanyard your hand so that it ain't fly away out of control.
durability of this thing is not so great i heard
Theres 2 versions of this. One is the "outdoor" version. They are quite different even though they look the same. I'd recommend taking the handle off it in a review because once you see how little blade is in the handle (2 inch and heavily tapered) should make you double think the safety of this product. Should've also showed the viewers how flimsy-bendy this is. A lot of them actually come bent like a see-saw from factory. All of these things should be included in the video - I can't even tell which model of the gerber gator this is. Honestly it's one of the worst machetes you can buy that is from a known brand. You'd have a hard time finding lower quality. A review that doesn't even get close to that conclusion is too generic of a review.
Turns out I like men
Hahahaha!!
You need to kill a little tree to show how the machete works?! And the hole in the point is to use it with a stick and use the saw!
Good review but Gerber blows. I wouldn’t trust that thing if it was the machete on the earth.
The edge rolls easily, the saw is average at best.
Just gonna tell you Gerber makes some quality products........this is NOT one of them....grab an Ontario or Tramontina machete for real work
worst machete ive ever used! it is an absolute embarrassment to all machetes in south america.
This machete is horrible and dangerous. It has a bad history of the blade breaking in half at any moment when swinging and the tip goes flying away because the steel is so brittle. It chips up way to easy. Just do a quick Google of gator machete fails and you will see how dangerous it is.
Blades bent from transport, cheap...
This is an awful machete shaped object.
It's pure crap you lost all credibility promoting this blade .
How he was literally clearing brush type debris.
