Needed another machete so this camilus carnivore
Got pretty good reviews its really beefy with a nasty saw on the spine .
Only 18 inches overall comes with a little baby knife in the pouch also ....I'm liking it 35 bucks!!!
Looks scary and is scary sharp too.

I’ve bought and used a few. The best one I’ve had is made in Brazil. Does it have good weight to it Dan?

Not really in my opinion. There were two choices from Gerber, and I took the longer one at 20” blade length, it’s just ok. The back of the blade is for sawing and that part is great.

It's made in china of course the handle is full tang.Handle is kinda hard plastic very hard . If this had the gerber gator handle l would like it better. no complaints it was 35 bucks.
I prefer the gerber better for swiping brush .. thinner blade is better for that. I will use it for sure.

I have followed this one through the woods and it's a thing of beauty. And the first line in the description pretty much described the Gerber machetes I wouldn't pay the cost I can get them at.

I got the exact same one the only thing I don’t like and I’m being fussy is the handle it’s doesn’t grip in my hands very good. I have to use rubber mechanic’s gloves.

Take a roll of tape. Pull out a few feet and spin the hanging roll making something similar to a rope with the sticky side out. Wrap the handle diagonally and you’ll have a decent grip.

I dip my way plastic handles like that in my favorite stuff called PlastiDip! It dries with a hard rubber feeling to the grip. I love the stuff and it makes excellent grips! Good luck!
