The sheath is doo doo.

Bought the Versafix Pro from a local retailer but wanted to review it here. I have yet to put this to use outdoors so I can’t comment much in the blade itself outside of the comfort and feel of it. Those are top notch. But since it’s a Gerber and I’ve got a 30 year history of buying Gerber gear, I’d...

Not a terrible knife for what it is

I am not regretful for purchasing this, but this would be for specific tasks and not all of what it is advertised for. First, I would not use this for batoning. Although the blad is thick and it is profiled correctly. the hole in the front would surely snap the blade. If batoning, I wouldn't attempt...

Blade is a little bit light and the blade shape makes batoning pretty difficult. Other than that it does everything Ive needed it to. The sheath is really well designed and feels pretty high quality. If you need a good multi functional (for the most part) camp knife/machete to take with you on long ...

I picked this up because I prefer machetes over hatchets and my previous machete was too dang big (but a lot of fun). Like it says in the name, it is a hybrid. It will chop branches for you and split some smaller logs. I actually had no problem using it with a baton. However with this said, don't ex...

Gerber is really improving!

Things are getting better. First of all the price is great on these! I bought two. The sheath isn't great but it’s not bad either. Very light weight and great to throw in a pack as a backup. Mine came with a good edge. I haven’t purchased anything from Gerber for years but the last few years they ha...

trust me I like this overall. it's good, sturdy and to sum it up very solid. But, for those like me who can care about about imported goods and quality I like most was afraid of one minor detail. it's labeled as imported which got me worried. yes it turned out it is made in china and depressing as i...

Good Machete for the price and size

I use this machete all the time. It is so nice, one of my buddies ditched his hatchet for this machete because of how easily I split wood. The price, the weight, the durability, the design, and the click in sheath are all awesome. I give it 5 stars because of the low price, but I wish this machete w...

Probably not the greatest steel, but still a great tool all around. I have used it a lot since I purchased it, and it has done everything I have needed it to. The weight distribution is fantastic so it chops through things as well or better than things twice the size. Some reviews I read mentioned t...

Extremely versatile knife. Not a machete. Don’t use as a machete.

Bought my son one of these at Smokey Mountain Knife Works February 2021. Very versatile knife and can take and keep and edge quite nicely. It’s not a machete and isn’t meant for extreme bush whacking but is good for some light to medium chopping and light batoning. My son cuts branches off trees up ...

It’s about what kind of camping you’re doing!!!

I love this machete. I don’t make large campfires. I use a twig stove. I use this primarily to de-limb fallen trees or dead trees and to make kindling. It does all of those thing wonderfully. It’s also pretty great at clearing brush. Fits in a backpack with ease. You can also wear it on your side. T...
