Title: Anybody received a recalled/new version?
Review: I'm a little dismayed that so much info has come out since I ordered this tool. I have registered to send it back for the handle recall, but really don't use it as my "go to" camp saw, so wasn't in the target recall group. The tang situation is distressing though. I cannot see how they would be so concerned about handle slippage and not take the opportunity to address the ridiculous lever stress point they have created in the front of the handle. The Gerber recall hotline says replacement has a modified handle, lanyard addition, "and other safety modifications". Has anyone received their replacement Gator and disassembled? You can buy a full tang machete on Amazon for $7.99 today, so Gerber deserves the reputation hit if they dont lengthen the tang while they have the chance.
