Gerber Doubledown Folding Machete

You’re always looking for ways to minimize your kit, yet maximize function. The American-made DoubleDown™ Machete accomplishes both with never-before-seen versatility. It’s a muscular 15" long for extreme chopping power, yet folds to half its size to stow easily in a pack, on a belt or on MOLLE. The 420HC recurve blade batons like a beast thanks to spine jimping that transfers all the energy into the wood. And you can choke up on the handle to do deft cutting tasks. The finishing touch? A geared butterfly handle mechanism that opens and closes in locking stages for total control and safety.
