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.

i bought the axe for camping and what not, however i brought it to work one day and i now where in on my belt at all times, i have tried to break the handle but so far it has performed well as a saw an axe and a hammer.

Great item around the camp site and home. When used for appropriate size jobs it can't be beat.

Awesome design. It looks like the head will never come off, and it won't because you will only be able to use it for a few days before the handle snaps in two. I used it for barely 2 days before mine broke. So far it looks like gerber is going to send me a new "axe", but I probably won't be using it because it wouldn't be safe for anyone within 50 feet of me.

The first and only time I used this product I was Backpacking in the Big Horns of Wyoming and when cutting fire wood for the fist night on a week long trip the handle broke. Two days later when using the axe with only half a handle the head of the axe came off. This product is garbage do not rely on it. It made my trek into the wilderness very difficult.
