Anyone recommend a good machete?


Nov 22, 2021, 12:15 PM

Both Home Depot and Amazon have just terrible reviews on what they sell recently. Mainly due to cheap steel. Even the Gerber ones.

Now I'm flagged at work for searching for a good machete.

I keep a Gerber Gator Jr in my Jeep between the seat and console. With sheath, it functions exactly like those Seat Gap Fillers, totally hidden from view. No one in the vehicle has ever noticed it.



It's small and NOT very stout at all, I just have it "in case". Very agile little tool.
