This machete has same the great quality of all Gerber products! The blade is strong and very durable. It fits snug in the sheath too. I have been using it for a little over a week now and have had no real problems what-so-ever with it. The only bad thing I have noticed with it has to do with the sheath. The belt-loop where you are suppose to attach it is located at the middle of the handle. While carrying it that way it seems to dangle and drag down your belt, making walking very uncomfortable. A solution I came up with is to tighten your belt to a comfortable position around your waist without attaching the sheath. Then you slide the sheath between two belt loops where it is comfortable and easy for you to use.This way is a lot better for me and may also work for you. Overall it is a great machete. When you first start out using it, you may notice some scratches. These are just minor ones that don't affect the efficiency of the blade. I recommend cleaning/wiping off the blade afterwards too.
