Gerber folding machete

That is just a big knife, not nearly long or heavy enough to be use the way I use my el-cheapo home built machete. The idea of clearing brush along a trail with that looks fatiguing. I like some of the other multi-tool offerings but am sort of Leatherman fanboy. Not sure what I would use a butterfly knife that large for. To big for fine work not big enough for machete work. YMMV


The homebuilt corn-cutter/machette. Started life out as a blank cover in a larger instrument rack for an old shaker table.

Are they going to call it the Folding Large Multi Function knife..?

Puts me in mind of the Hackman(?) Camp knife. Just bigger.

I may be off base, but that strikes me as more of a folding Bowie.

No, it doesn't have the typical Bowie profile, but the size class seems about right.

Resembles my old Fogcutter scuba BFK, now part of the XS Scuba line, but bigger.

I could see maybe someone that wants to store it in there pack like a casual hiker or camper. I do like its USA made. I wish they would make the Flat Iron in the USA then id buy one

Meh. Got machetes and fixed blades for what that can do.
