The Gerber DoubleDown is a folding machete. With black handles and a stonewash finished drop point blade, this is a collapsible survival knife built to take anywhere and conquer anything. The DoubleDown uses Gerber's QuadLock system to deliver maximum strength.
The DoubleDown is ready for heavy chopping and serious cutting. It folds in on itself when you are ready to store it for maximum blade safety.
To use the QuadLock system, you pinch the four release buttons (two on the front and two on the back) which allows you to pull the handles apart and deploy the blade.
The Doubledown is designed for 3 essential functions: chopping, splitting, and core knife work.
- For splitting tasks, we added jimping to the spine of the blade so that when batoning, maximum energy is transferred straight into the wood.
- Whether you're chopping brush or small trees, the extended length of the Doubledown optimizes force and impact.
- For core knife work, choking up on the handle gives complete control over the slightly recurve blade.
