Product Description The Gerber Gator Axe II saw combo helps set you up for your next trip into the outdoors with an all-conditions axe and a bluntnose pull saw that secures inside the axe handle with an internal magnet. The rigid part of the axe handle is glass-filled nylon for a rugged construction and a light weight. Each tool includes a a textured handle for easy handling.
Good toolDecember 7, 2008 jg(usa) This axe combo works well and is light for its size. I really like the handle and the included small saw is actually usable and effective. It comes pretty dull but that is easy to fix. My only complaint is the finish on the head is a little sloppy but it does not significantly effect its function.
Great Little AxeNovember 6, 2008 G(Houston, TX) This is a solid well balanced hatchet. You can easily cut down trees up to four inches or so. The saw is a nice addition but it will come loose from the axe handle if you really get into your cutting.
This item is much more useful than the cheap camp axes sold at most retail stores.
Solid little axeAugust 18, 2008 Duckweed5 This is a tough little axe for the size. I've been very happy with Gerber products although they don't come cheap. The only disadvantage to this axe is that it pretty light weight so it is difficult to split wood. But for chopping up wood for a campfire it is fine. The saw that comes in the handle cuts very well but it so too short to be very effective.
A tough, usefull tool.July 19, 2008 Shannon Hill(Wild Wonderful WV) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this to use when camping/hiking/hunting. I has proven useful and much more durable than the standard wooden handle model. My kids haven't broken it yet and it shows no rust! The saw is good for small camping/woods tasks like removing small limbs that are in the way. My only small complaint is that is hard to find when you drop it in the dark and the texture of the handle somehow keeps reflective tape (my solution to finding it in the dark) from sticking very well. I ended up putting on a bright colored lanyard. Overall, a good practical addition. I will probably buy another one to keep in my truck.
Well made and very sharpMay 27, 2008 Michael G. Shkolnik 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a very good product, it's well made and sharp. The knife actually goes into the bottom of the axe's handle, and is held there by a pretty strong magnet, you need some force to pull it out. But when you do, you won't regret it, because this is one good and sharp knife.
