It slices it dices...

Machetes make a lot of sense for various jobs on a boat (splitting lobsters, dealing with coconuts, repelling zombie hordes, etc) and having one or two on board is no bad thing...

Which is why I took special notice of this machete from Gerber...

Not only does it sport Gerber steel which is a cut and a half above what most machete makers use but the back side of the blade is a saw, which when you think about it makes all sorts of sense! Very cool indeed!
