Its high durometer overmold handle offers superior comfort to reduce hand fatigue, complemented by a durable nylon sheath for secure belt carry. Engineered in Portland, Oregon, this ambidextrous machete combines rugged durability with ergonomic innovation, backed by a limited lifetime warranty. ## Description Packed with smart design, the Versafix is a compact fixed blade/machete hybrid that swings heavy with features. The weight-forward design gives swift results with less effort and a recurved blade shape retains sharpness near the base for traditional knife work. Forward jimping on the top of the blade gives grip when batoning, a high comfort handle means less fatigue and hot spots. The Versafix is an excellent tool to have at your side while moving through dense terrain. Review: Great Chopper - Probably not the greatest steel, but still a great tool all around. I have used it a lot since I purchased it, and it has done everything I have needed it to. The weight distribution is fantastic so it chops through things as well or better than things twice the size. Some reviews I read mentioned that it is difficult to sharpen, but I disagree. It is obviously different to sharpen, due to the unique blade shape, but really not hard. You will get plenty of practice too because it doesn't hold the greatest edge, but when you get a good edge on it, you can chop, baton, feather stick, etc. Review: great sheath and good blade - The sheath is nice and quick but sturdy enough for collisions. I traversed a canyon and slipped and fell on the sheath; it did not break or hurt me. ## Features - The Gerber Versafix is a hybrid fixed blade knife machete that features a weight forward design to reduce the effort needed when cutting, chopping or splitting - The Unique high durometer overmold handle provides unprecedented comfort to reduce fatigue in the users hands - Includes a traditional Nylon sheath for a secure belt carry - The Versafix is 14.3" Inches long, with a 9" Inch cutting Edge - Designed and engineered in Portland, Oregon ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07NMGFTKS | | Best Sellers Rank | #137,253 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #84 in Gardening Machetes | | Blade Length | 9 inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Brand | Gerber | | Brand Name | Gerber | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 659 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00013658154599 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Polypropylene (PP) | | Included Components | Knife, Sheath | | Item Dimensions L x W | 14.38"L x 2"W | | Item Length | 14.3 inches | | Item Type Name | Machete Knife | | Item Weight | 11.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Gerber | | Manufacturer Part Number | 31-003473 | | Model Number | 31-003473 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Style | Machete Knife Hybrid | | Style | Machete Knife Hybrid | | UPC | 013658154599 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 9 inches - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Gerber - **Handle Material:** Polypropylene (PP) - **Style:** Machete Knife Hybrid ## Images ![Versafix Machete Knife Hybrid, Survival Camping Tool, 14.3", Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511u6tsvkoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What steel does it use?** A: Unidentified stainless steel. Well made but obviously not a high grade steel (or Gerber would proudly proclaim it on the package). Still useful but will probably need more frequent sharpening. **Q: Where is this product made ?** A: This product is made in China but it is not true that all their products are made there. I have a Gerber mini covert auto and it is definitely made in USA. **Q: How about for whacking bush?** A: Small jobs only, yes. **Q: What steel is used for the regular versafix (not the pro)? I see the pro is stainless.** A: It’s the same stainless steel used on the pro. The only difference being the pro has the cutouts to reduce weight and improve balance. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Chopper *by V***6 on April 21, 2020* Probably not the greatest steel, but still a great tool all around.

I traversed a canyon and slipped and fell on the sheath; it did not break or hurt me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceeded expectations... *by M***N on October 23, 2022* First day out of the box... Sheath is junk. I'm sure most of you expected that. I did too. Ballistic nylon is just to give you something to put it in. Steel is 3CR13...which...while nothing to write home about...gets the job done. Heat treat on the product I received is excellent. Chopped on some seasoned American Elm and...while it took some doing...it did get it done. Tried to baton the five inch Elm but couldn't. No surprise there. American Elm is all but unsplittable...but the blade didn't break, chip or take a permanent bend even though the cross grain of the Elm did stress the blade out of shape it snapped right back after it was removed. I would not have attempted this with the Pro. The "baton gimping" is pretty worthless on a six inch round as it disappears onto the round almost immediately. If batoning big rounds is important to you, this is not for you. The tip profile all but guarantees your batoning mallet is going to glance right off on anything over four inches. Two, three and four inch stuff it sings right through. It would likely do five inch splittable wood well too. Personally, I've never batoned a piece of wood in the field or at home except in these types of tests...but...I supposed it's nice to know one could access dry kindling in an emergency. Tested the edge on some cardboard after messing around with it for about an hour and it still cut just using it's own weight...and I haven't done a thing to it...it's still the out-of-the-box edge. The grind looks great, even on both sides and centered. And it is very light and comfortable. Other than the sheath being junk...and most nylon sheaths are...I'm pretty pleased with it. It exceeded my expectations ## Frequently Bought Together - GERBER GEAR Gerber Versafix, Machete Knife Hybrid, Black [31-003473] - Gerber Gear Pack Hatchet - 3.5" Steel Blade Axe with Full Tang - Survival, Bushcraft and Camping Gear - with Mountable Nylon Sheath - Brown - Gerber Gear Gator Bolo 22" Gardening Machete, Full Tang Knife with Plain Edge, Gator Grip and Protective Sheath --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/116660421-versafix-machete-knife-hybrid-survival-camping-tool-14-3-black](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/116660421-versafix-machete-knife-hybrid-survival-camping-tool-14-3-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
