## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it full tang and will it chop down the undead**
A: No, the tang does not go through until the end. It is 3/4, you can see the bolts in the handle where the steel ends.

**Q: Does the sheath have a belt loop built into it? Or is there a way to attach to a belt if desired?**
A: As others have said, I does have a loop on the sheath.  It is the same loop that the velcro retention strap passes through to hold the machete in the sheath.  Mine has not yet ever been hung on a belt and the loop is very tight; but, I cannot see any reason it would not accommodate a belt and should hold the sheath and machete quite snugly against the wearer's body.  The loop is made of a material much thinner and lighter than the sheath itself.  It may prove to be much less durable than the sheath and may break (or tear) before the sheath shows any significant wear.  If I were planning to wear this on my belt regularly, under rigorous field conditions, I would probably consider upgrading this 'belt loop' to a sturdier material.

**Q: Is this made in the USA?**
A: No its not. The only machetes made in the USA are customs and Ontario. Most of Gerber's current knives are chinese made.

**Q: Is this good for fighting zombies?**
A: I would think it would do quite well with Zombies as long as you are not taking on too many at a time. I have chopped cactus and my mother in law with it and found that it will retain a sharp blade even after aggressive use. It is weighted nicely and as long as I fully committed to the chop I was able to get the blade through completely and only once did it get stuck. If you are chopping through bone you should be careful as you don't want to remove your own legs and feet - and be sure to keep a solid grip on the handle while using the wrist cord. I keep the machete in my trunk along with a good shovel, duct tape and a tarp. Always be prepared!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Favorite Sawback Machete
*by D***X on July 26, 2024*

This is a mainstay for me when camping or bushwhacking to get to those favorite fishing holes. The saw works really well--it's hard work, but you can cut through 4- to 6-inch logs relatively easily, provided you source properly dry deadfall. I've tried other sawback brands/designs and this is the only one that really gets the job done. Bought my first Gerber Gator back in 2010 and finally had to replace it last year (2023) because the teeth on the saw had dulled. Absolutely nothing beats a chainsaw, but if you're backpacking or just wanting to "go native," this blade will do the job.
