The partially serrated, 3-3/4 inch blade is can be used to cut through the skin of a fuselage, sever a seat belt, or egress through the Plexiglas of a chopper. This infantry knife also does a slick job cutting firewood and building shelter and can even be lashed to a pole to create a spear. On the end of the knife is a flat spot strong enough to drive a nail. This rugged and versatile survival tool features a high carbon stainless blade with shielded black surface. The handle is constructed with glass-filled nylon. The knife fits in a Molle-attachable sheath. The LMF II comes with Gerber's limited lifetime warranty. Who It's For Military personnel, serious outdoorsmen, and adventuters. Lashing holes for use as spear Rugged, versatile survival tool Overall Length: 26.9 cm Length of Blade: 12.29 cm Weight: 323.19 grams 2005 International Knife Award Winner A Note About LMF II Inventor Jeff Freeman The Army trained Jeff to be an expert machinist, and then stationed him in Panama to perform aviation maintenance and toolmaking. Upon completion of his tour of duty he earned his BS in Manufacturing Engineering from Oregon State University while working full-time as a welder, machinist and ironworker. He joined the Gerber team in 1998. In the spring of 2000, he was promoted to Senior Mechanical Engineer and has been involved in new product design and development. Jeff's design credits include the Freeman Fixed Blade and collaboration on the Gerber-Emerson Alliance. The Gerber Story Savvy. Ingenuity. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that contributed to our emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. But then there's the issue of toughness. And frankly, nothing could be tougher than living down the first career of founder Joseph Gerber as...that's right...an advertising man. You could call it the 'Boy Named Sue' syndrome. And live it down we have. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910. One Christmas, he hired a local knifemaker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular, Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939. It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand. One that commands respect among knifelovers and knifemakers alike. And now that high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products. Such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and backpack hydration. script by MrRat and mod_rewrite by Amazon/Webmaster Services (AWS) Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Knife Review This Knife is awesome ! Very durable and extremely well built ! Knife comes with a really nice sheath. The sheath is a bit cumbersome although I do not believe there is any other sheath out there with the adaptability that this sheath has. You can literally attach it to anything you can imagine. The leg straps that come with it are very nice as well, they keep the knife in place while hiking. I use this knife as my hiking/survial knife and it has proven to be very good for that. I used to just carry ... Read More Rating: - A knife for all reasons and seasons The knife is definitely for Outdoor survival. With the attached scabbard it is very heavy. Could be used as a hammer, spear, or light axe. You could chop through almost anything with the help of a rock. Rating: - A Well-Designed Survival Knife For those not interested in details: "It's a great knife." For those interested in details: The blade steel is 12C27 - comparable in toughness (durability in rough use) and hardness (edge retention) to 440A. It's a good blend of both qualities. The construction is not full tang but push tang; however, this does not appear to affect its structural integrity. The LMF II is constructed in this manner in order to give this particular knife an insulated handle. This means ... Read More Rating: - Superior Survival Knife This knife will, first, outlast it's owner. It will also take anything I've thrown at it. It is light, simple, and very solid. The sheath is MOLLE compatible, and has an integral sharpener. It's a mean, well-built knife. Rating: - Great Knife I bought this knife for a young man that is training in knife fighting and will be going survival camping with me this fall. I searched high and low for a knife that would fit the survival and fighting needs well. I was impressed by all of the reviews on this knife and am very happy with my choice. I initially started knife shopping because one of my sons is on orders for Iraq, is in the infantry, and I thought he should have a good knife. I chose the Kabar Warthog for him and myself. After ordering ... Read More see more
