My biggest concern was how well is it weighted both with and without the saw in the handle, and without the saw in the handle is it strong enough to even chop without breaking? But my concerns were thrown out the door when I got my hands on it, it doesn't feel awkwardly weighted with or without the axe in the handle and the plastic handle is certainly strong enough to hold up without the saw in the handle. The saw is a good saw and so is the axe, but I'd recommend sharpening it a bit before going out to the wild and realizing you wish you had sharpened it a little, it'll get by no question, but a little sharper means a little less work. I bring this with me every backpacking trip I'm going to be building a fire whether I need it or not, it's great to have.
Gerber Legendary Blades 22-41420 Review by Terry B
I was very excited to get this in the mail just days before my backpacking trip. It came neatly packaged, and closely resembled the smaller counterpart hatchet that I have from Gerber. Upon initial inspection, it seemed to be of the same quality, too. I happily strapped it to my pack, shoved my emergency hand chainsaw in a pouch as a backup, and packed my truck.
On day 2 of my adventure I finally had a need for it. I had a small piece of wood, very dry, that appeared to have fallen off a broken tree at least 4 seasons ago (nice and dry). I placed it on a solid rock, took a swing at it, and hit it square on (not an amateur by any means). Well, the axe head stuck in the log part ways, splitting it down its length, and the handle to the Gerber 'gator combo' piece of junk broke right off at the neck.
Upon closer inspection, it was easy to see why this happened. While the unit has a full tang, the shaft is HOLLOW! I expected it to be hollow at the base where the hand saw is located, but certainly not the whole length of the unit! It was built like a cheap hollow chocolate Easter bunny, with about the same tinsel strength to boot!
My only suggestion - do not buy this piece of junk. It clearly is stamped right on the side "Made in Taiwan", and it certainly boasts typical Taiwanese manufacturing quality.
Shame on you Gerber for selling this unit, as it is a major safety hazard (what if the axe had broken off and not stuck in the wood?) and shame on me for thinking I could strike gold twice. The hatchet is thumbs up, this piece of junk is thumbs down and going in the trash.
Gerber Legendary Blades 22-41420 Review by Mr Tech "Dave" (Hanover, Germany)
Works great. Nice size handle, sharp out of the box, and the small saw works great. The only problem I see with it is the saw in the handle vibrates when chopping and sometimes likes to slip out a bit after a few good swings.
