Gerber Clearpath Machete w/ Nylon Sheath — Black

The Gerber Clearpath is a compact double-edge machete designed for those who travel off-trail and need to cut through dense vegetation. With an overall length of 439 mm and a weight of 512 g, it fits in a pack without giving up cutting performance.

The corrosion-resistant stainless steel blade holds up in humid environments and through temperature swings, where lesser steel would rust quickly. The primary edge, ground on the flat side, is optimised for fast chopping through brush and vines; the cross-cut serrated edge on the spine tackles thicker, harder branches where a plain edge would tend to bounce off rather than bite. Having both profiles on a single tool removes the need to carry a separate saw, but there is a trade-off: the serrated edge works well on dry wood and branches up to a certain diameter, and it does not replace a long-toothed saw for sustained cuts through large logs.

The GatorGrip handle provides a secure grip even with wet or gloved hands — a detail that matters when conditions force you to work in the rain. The nylon sheath is compact and attaches to a pack or belt without getting in the way; it includes a retention lanyard to secure the machete to the wrist or to gear during movement over rough terrain.

Key features

• Dual edge — plain for soft vegetation, cross-cut serrated for branches — reduces the number of tools to carry.

• The GatorGrip handle provides a secure hold with wet or gloved hands, reducing the risk of slippage during strikes.
