Gerber launched a LOT of new knives during SHOT Show but the one that stuck out of the crowd is the Doubledown. The overall length is just over 15″ with a 7″ 430HC blade with a glass filled nylon handle.

This Made in USA folding machete features a butterfly design. It’s a beefy, utility blade meant to chop, cut and split wood.

It features a recurved blade, overstrike guard, and stability bar to keep the blade closed during use.

If that wasn’t enough, there’s another fail-safe. Here you can see the Quad-Lock system which not only must be activated to open and close the blade, but automatically locks into place at 45 degrees to prevent injury during closure.

The Doubledown will come with a MOLLE and belt compatible sheath. Available this summer in Flat Sage Green/Stonewash, Black/Stonewash, and Black/Black.
