Gerber Gear LMF II Infantry Survival Knife, Made in USA Military Grade Tactical Fixed Blade with Serrated Edge, Shock Absorbing Handle, Molle Sheath and Sharpener, Black

its a weighty piece. really adds some power to each swing. the blade is fiercely sharp and the serrations comes with its own sharpening system the hilt is very formidable and very ergonomic the nylon sheath harness is really doubtful the plastic sheath itself is sturdy and durable looking with a satisfying locking to hold the blade securely in place this is a multi purpose knife with plenty of features to be proud about the whole product overly passes a quality assurance test but some of the features fall flat you might still love some of your older knifes better regardless can we just say 4.5 stars ?

This is an excellent knife. Do not mistake cost and quality. No this knife does not cost $300.00. But it out preforms many that do. This is one very tough knife with some excellent features. It also comes with a very nice tactical carrying rig. However, if that does not suit you, it can simply be carried on you belt in the most typical way. The steel is hard enough to preform very well, yet it sharpens easily. It will make a spark against a ferro rod and very hard rocks. as it is carbon based steel. It has both strait edge and a small serrated edge part. The handle is extremely comfortable. It has holes that make it easy to make it a spear with some cordage. The back of the handle can be used as a window breaker, to crack nuts or coconuts or as a combat tool if needed. There is a separation in the rear of the tang that makes it safe to strike electronics without being electrocuted (If you chose to do this you should seek training on other Personal Protective Equipment that is needed to do this safely) As many fixed blade knives as I have, and that is a great many, I have two of these and if I could only have one fixed blade survival knife this is the one I would pick time and time again! I keep one out that I use and another in a bug-out bag. I like it so much, I am considering buying a 3rd!

I did a lot of research before choosing the Gerber LMF 2, so you can trust me if you are just starting your search for a great backwoods knife that you've just found it. I wanted a high quality survival knife that wouldn't fail me in the backcountry but at a reasonable price and this is it. This knife is heavier than I expected and I suppose this would bother some folks who intend on wearing it on extended hikes but I wore it on an 8 mile hike the other day and it didn't bother me a bit. I like the heft and solid feel of the knife for chopping and hacking. I crafted a bow on a recent camping trip using just this knife and it was amazing for tillering the limbs. You could work all day long with this knife the handle is so comfortable, and it absorbs shock amazingly well. The knife comes fairly sharp but I took my Lansky sharpening system to it and gave it a razer edge and it has held it very well. The carbide sharpener in the sheath works pretty well and I have read that the carbide blades are replaceable but I can't find them anywhere online so I just use my speedy sharp tool to maintain the edge and I will rely on the sheath sharpener for survival situations rather than wear it out. I also read online that the rubberized grip on a lot of these knives was falling apart from being taken in and out of the sheath but mine has no signs of wear. I wonder if Gerber caught on to this and re formulated the rubber. Also the retention straps to hold my knife in the sheath fit just perfect out of the box, they aren't too tight like a lot of other folks have mentioned theirs were. I would say my only complaint about this knife is the sheath. I loved it at first but now I hate it. It's way too bulky. If you compare the size of the knife to the sheath it's ridiculous. And it holds the knife way too tight. If you wear the knife just on a belt and try to remove the knife you will need both hands because the belt loop is way too big on the sheath and the knife fits so tight. I have to wear the knife crossdraw and upside down on my belt using the tighter lower loop so I can draw the knife one handed downward. The sheath comes with straps for leg carry but how irritating would that get on a hike. One plus to the sheath is it can be fastened to a backpack in a variety of ways so that is cool. I am highly considering just ordering a leather sheath for the knife online. Anyways, that should cover it. Still a fantastic knife for the money. It works well for home remodeling work too, I have been wearing mine the last week while remodeling our bathroom and have found it comes in handy for a lot of jobs.

Ich benutze es jetzt schon länger und bin sehr zufrieden. Durch die grösse sieht das messer auch nicht so aggressiv aus wie ein 30cm bowie. Also ich konnte alles bewerkstelligen was ich machen musste wie zb. Eine Hütte bauen, schnitzen von kleinen sachen, holz batonieren und vieles mehr. Die Serrations stören nicht so wie ich gedacht habe und bekommt das messer mit einfachen mitteln wie ein schleifstein und leder wieder scharf. Die scheide ist sehr hochwertig und modular.

Only dislike is it was only available in 1 colour but still a badass knife

Excelente produto.

Excelente construcción y materiales de alta calidad. Un cuchillo muy llamativo! No viene muy afilado pero eso tiene solución.

fabulous bit of kit
