Review: It is an awesome machete - I bought this machete over a year ago it is one of the best I have ever owned. Am from Jamaica where we use a machete for almost everything on the farm, if you need a good machete this is one of the best not perfect because there is no such thing, but absolutely awesome. It is well balanced, the weight is in the tip this make it great for cutting your way through the bush. It easy to sharpen, I love it so much I am going to buy three more for my friends. And don’t forget, you get a carrying case with it. Review: fantastic chopper - Love this bolo. Best chopping machete i have ever owned. goes through small scrub trees and brush like hot knife through butter, but you most likely will have to sharpen as i did. This is not a machete for the weak of hart , it has forward blade heft to it, which is what makes it such a good chopper! This would also be a devastating zombie weapon. for you wondering about that sort of thing. ## Features - DURABLE GARDENING TOOLS: The Gerber Bolo 22" Gardening Machete features an 15.5" plain edge steel blade with full tang construction and a textured Gator Grip rubberized handle and a nylon sheath for secure carrying and storage - INNOVATIVE DESIGN: Gator Grip provides a secure grip in wet or dry conditions;offering a comfortable and stable feel for various gardening and outdoor tasks - OUTDOOR ESSENTIALS: The Gator Bolo Machete corrosion-resistant high carbon stainless steel blade and rubberized handle are ideal for gardening;chopping tall grass and small tree limbs;and many other uses such as hunting;camping;bushcraft and gardening - GIFTS FOR MEN: Perfect gift for dads, outdoor enthusiasts, and adventurers—ideal for Father's Day, Christmas stocking stuffer, birthdays, and groomsmen gifts - GERBER GUARANTEE: Backed by a limited lifetime warranty;ensuring quality and reliability in all Gerber essential outdoor gear ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AU6DKVK | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,758 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #4 in Gardening Machetes | | Blade Length | 15.5 inches | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Blade Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Brand | Gerber | | Brand Name | Gerber | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 987 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00013658133662 | | Hand Orientation | Left | | Handle Material | Rubber | | Included Components | Machete | | Item Dimensions L x W | 2"L x 6.5"W | | Item Type Name | Gerber Gator Bolo Matchete | | Item Weight | 7.1 ounces | | Manufacturer | Gerber Legendary Blades | | Manufacturer Part Number | 31-002076 | | Model Number | 31-002076 | | Product Style | 15.5" Blade | | Style | 15.5" Blade | | UPC | 730707290724 168141564161 013658133662 611105217530 | | Unit Count | 1 Ounce | | Warranty Description | See Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 15.5 inches - **Blade Material:** Carbon Steel - **Brand:** Gerber - **Handle Material:** Rubber - **Style:** 15.5" Blade ## Images ![Gerber Gator Bolo Machete, Full Tang w/ Sheath, Stainless Steel, 22"/15.5" - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Mh1kxVBdL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it full tang and will it chop down the undead** A: No, the tang does not go through until the end. It is 3/4, you can see the bolts in the handle where the steel ends. **Q: Does the sheath have a belt loop built into it? Or is there a way to attach to a belt if desired?** A: As others have said, I does have a loop on the sheath. It is the same loop that the velcro retention strap passes through to hold the machete in the sheath. Mine has not yet ever been hung on a belt and the loop is very tight; but, I cannot see any reason it would not accommodate a belt and should hold the sheath and machete quite snugly against the wearer's body. The loop is made of a material much thinner and lighter than the sheath itself. It may prove to be much less durable than the sheath and may break (or tear) before the sheath shows any significant wear. If I were planning to wear this on my belt regularly, under rigorous field conditions, I would probably consider upgrading this 'belt loop' to a sturdier material. **Q: Is this made in the USA?** A: No its not. The only machetes made in the USA are customs and Ontario. Most of Gerber's current knives are chinese made. **Q: Is this good for fighting zombies?** A: I would think it would do quite well with Zombies as long as you are not taking on too many at a time. I have chopped cactus and my mother in law with it and found that it will retain a sharp blade even after aggressive use. It is weighted nicely and as long as I fully committed to the chop I was able to get the blade through completely and only once did it get stuck. If you are chopping through bone you should be careful as you don't want to remove your own legs and feet - and be sure to keep a solid grip on the handle while using the wrist cord. I keep the machete in my trunk along with a good shovel, duct tape and a tarp. Always be prepared! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is an awesome machete *by A***R on February 15, 2019* I bought this machete over a year ago it is one of the best I have ever owned.

The machete arrived in good condition and appears well constructed. I’m impressed by the sheath quality. I haven’t used the machete yet but the knife arrived with a very dull edge and needed to be sharpened prior to my first camp trip with the knife later this week. The edge needed considerable file work to make it usable along the entire cutting surface. I know many machetes come only partially sharpened but wasn’t expecting so much effort to get the knife cutting to expectations. Seems like a good, mid-weight machete with a sturdy sheath but don’t be surprised if the blade needs some work prior to using. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gerber Gear Gator Bolo 22" Gardening Machete, Full Tang Knife with Plain Edge, Gator Grip and Protective Sheath - Smith’s 50582 Axe & Machete Sharpener - Axe, Machete, Hatchet, & Mower Tools - Large Handle w/ Finger Guard - Handheld Manual - Replaceable Carbide Blades - Wire-Bristled Cleaning Brush - Durable - DDF IohEF Axe/Hatchet Sharpening Stone 180/320 Grit, Professional Whetstone & Tool Sharpener, Axe Sharpener with Portable Bag --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1096228-gerber-gator-bolo-machete-full-tang-w-sheath-stainless-steel](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1096228-gerber-gator-bolo-machete-full-tang-w-sheath-stainless-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-01*
