"You can't make this crap up"? People are getting hurt by using a knife that could have been designed better (judging by the pictures) and the company is fixing the problem so more people don't get hurt.
You have a problem with that?

The saw side of the machete can stick in wood during use, and if the user's hand slips off the handle and slides forward across the machete blade, this poses a laceration hazard.
I can see how someone could get injured without a guard.

I love my Gerber all in one tool, but the blade on the thing is, indeed, scary sharp. I imagine one could accidentally do some serious damage without even feeling it at first. I'm always extremely careful when it's open. Ah, this is, of course, more about the folly of attorneys than the blade.
