User questions & answers

Question:	Do you think this would work well for carving pumpkins
Answer:	Yes, it is a great buy! I bought it and got it four days later. It is very easy to fold, you just press the little button on the side and it closes right up.
Question:	How long is the blade
Answer:	The blade is as thick as any standard toolbox saw. I use it for pruning. It cuts 2-3 inch branches easily. Well made. It’s a good tool.
Question:	Does the blade lock in both the closed and open positions
Answer:	I haven't found any.
Question:	Does this saw come with a carry case? I am trying to replace an older Gerber Exchange blade saw that has been stolen
Answer:	The blade is 12" from hole to hole, but there are rivets in the holes to hold the blade in the frame. I suppose you could put your own rivets in a standard blade to make it work.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the tab that holds the blade near the handle plastic or metal
Answer:	I think you have to report this to Amazon.
Question:	How much does this weigh
Answer:	That’s called “using an actual jigsaw to make the puzzles,” and is a sign of quality.
Question:	What are the dimensions when it's folded up? Is the blade completely enclosed so that it won't snag while in my pack
Answer:	No, it can't. The teeth are too hard to re-sharpen or set.
Question:	Is there extra blades for this
Answer:	I have only used this saw for cutting rough boards down to more manageable sizes, followed by squaring with machines. It leaves a rough surface but cuts reasonably well for both rips and cross-cuts. It doesn't "shred" the tissues but the cuts are much rougher than I experience with better (hundred year old) saws.

Product description

Featuring a rugged forged steel head that retains blade edge, the Gerber 22-41420 Gator Axe II is a great addition to your basic camping gear. This axe is designed to work under any and all conditions, so you're ready to tackle whatever comes your way. It comes with a durable ballistic nylon sheath for easy portability, protection, and storage.

Longer Handle for Incredible Striking Force

Boasting all the features of the popular short-handed Gator Axe but with a longer handle, the Gator II provides incredible striking force, making it ideal for a range of camping, hunting, and other outdoor or around-the-house applications. Gator texturizing keeps this striking force in check and maximizes your grip for optimum control.

Fiberglass-Filled Nylon Handle for Lightweight Performance

This axe features a glass-filled nylon handle for lightweight, yet strong performance. In fact, an internal magnet holds a detachable razor-sharp saw inside the handle so you can enjoy the versatility of two "cut-ups" in one handy unit. Chop firewood quickly and efficiently, or saw limbs to improve shooting lanes.

Forged Steel Head for Edge Retention

The Gator II has a 3-inch forged steel head for great edge retention, and it's sharp and ready to go right out of the box. To protect the blade from wear and tear, the Gator II comes with a durable ballistic nylon sheath.

Axe and Saw Dimensions

The Gator II has an overall length of 15.6 inches, with a blade length of 2.7 inches, and only weighs 2.26 ounces for comfortable handling and portability. The inserted saw has an overall length of 10.24 inches, blade length of 6.1 inches, and weighs 2.4 ounces.

About Gerber: A History of Innovation

Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that have contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.

It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand--one that commands respect among knife lovers and knife makers alike. And now that same high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and more.

What's in the Box

Gerber 22-41420 Gator Axe II with internal saw and nylon sheath.

From the Manufacturer

The short-handled Gator was such a hit when it debuted, we decided to offer a version with a longer handle. Dubbed the Gator II, this all-conditions axe makes a great addition to your basic camping gear. The longer handle results in greater striking force. And that force is kept safely under control because of our Gator texturing, which maximizes your grip. The rigid part of the handle is glass-filled nylon that's extremely rugged yet lightweight. A saw can insert inside the handle and be held in place by an internal magnet. The axe head is an all-business rendering of forged steel, noted for edge retention.

• Forged steel head for blade durability + striking force.
• Glass-filled nylon handle hides a coarse blade saw for brush/branches.
• Gator Grip handle material provides sure grip in all conditions.
• Saw is held inside handle magnetically, for easy + secure transport.
• Any condition. Any task. Get out there.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the handle replaceable
Answer:	NO. The Handle in Injection Molded around the Axe Head. If it beaks its broke. No fixing it. No replacing it.
Question:	Does the axe come with the rubber strap to hold in the saw? or is this something that came with earlier models

Question:	Does this come with the Balistic nylon sheath
Answer:	Yes it does come with a nylon sheath
Question:	Does the saw store inside the axe handle
Answer:	yes, the saw does store snugly inside the handle!!! great axe and saw combo!!! al in sun valley, ca
