What differentiates the GATOR® machete from other machetes?

If you still think that all knife or machete handles are the same, we invite you to test them outdoors, in the rain, or in extreme cold. For impeccable cuts, and especially in complete safety, the Gator® grip, created and designed by Gerber, will provide you with all the necessary guarantees. Made of reinforced nylon with fiberglass and a softer rubber surface, with the look and feel of alligator skin. This ensures a firm grip and optimal control. No matter the weather conditions, this machete is unlikely to slip from your hands. To be ready for any situation, consider complementing your kit with an outdoor first aid kit tailored to your needs.

DID YOU KNOW:


The Gerber adventure began in 1910 when the Gerber family opened an advertising agency in Portland, Oregon. During his career at the family agency, Joseph Gerber decided to send 24 sets of kitchen knives to his clients during the holidays. These handmade knives became extremely popular. The Abercrombie & Fitch firm, a Gerber client, was so impressed that they wanted to include them in their catalog in 1939. It was that same year that Gerber Legendary Blades was born.
