My husband had an older Fiskars brush axe that my son and I were using extensively to clear trails.In order to regain ownership of his machete he bought us each a Gerber brush axe because of the nice sheath that came with them for the same price as the Fiskars with the plastic sheath.After no more that half a dozen uses the handle cracked in the middle.Apparently the blade doesn't go very far into the plastic handle which seems a serious design flaw for a tool that is used for heavy whacking.Apparently the new Fiskars are plagued with the same problem.I would think Fiskar/Gerber would find this a liability.The response from customer service was rather automated...."Return it by insured mail and we will decide if it will be replaced or repaired."...even though I enclosed detailed photos of the broken knife handle.With shipping costs and the weight of this product it makes little sense to send them a broken knife that I know cannot be repaired.Click Here to see more reviews about: Gerber 31-000083 Gator Brush Trimmer
