About the Gerber LMF II Infantry Knife

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.

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.

User Comments about the Gerber 22-01629 LMF II Black Infantry Knife- 4.8 inch blade

The blade is NOT 3 3/4 inches long as written in description.It is 4.84 inches long.And most knives in Amazon do not indicate blade lengths which is critical.And we're Americans- at LEAST give it to us inches and not just metric.Lastly, tell us where the knives are made. Had to look everywhere on the webto finally confirm the Sog seal knives were in fact made in Taiwan.

it has SO many uses), i was very impressed with not only the quick shipping by amazon (thanks boys), but also the amazing sheath and harness straps that came with the knife. With this knife + my survival skills. I am going to be living in jungles in central and south america in the near future for a long duration of time. Props.Upon receiving this brilliant tool (wouldn't really consider it a knife really. The ONLY REASON i did not give this knife 5 stars is because: one - i just got it and have not made it to the wilderness yet (its below freezing out there. anywhere is my home. ill wait till spring thanks), and two - i do not know its true durability.I can say however that this is one of the finest pieces of equipment for its kind.

Friction clip is too tight and way too many straps and ties. This is a great knife. Very heavy and well balanced.What I don't like is the sheath. A simple sheath with a belt loop would have been worthy of 5 stars. It is too busy and complicated, yet, barely useful.

Very durable and extremely well built. The leg straps that come with it are very nice as well, they keep the knife in place while hiking. Other than that I would definately purchase this knife again. 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. There are several extreme durability tests that you can search and find on the net(youtube) that swayed me to buy this knife.

And I think that the factory could have put a slightly sharper edge on it. The sheath has a retension clip in it that keeps the knife extremely secure, you don't even have to use the nylon button straps that are near the handle. My only gripes about it are; I do wish the blade was about an inch longer, this could come in kinda handy. This Knife is awesome. You can literally attach it to anything you can imagine. I use this knife as my hiking/survial knife and it has proven to be very good for that. Don't get me wrong.this knife is sharp, but I thought it could be a little sharper.although that may take away from it's durability.not sure. The knife it self has a very nice feel to it, it fits in my hand very well.

Knife comes with a really nice sheath. I used to just carry a pocket knife, after seeing what this knife can do I will not leave home with out it. It proved to be very tough. The knife stays in place no matter what kind of activity you are doing.trust me.

The knife is definitely for Outdoor survival. Could be used as a hammer, spear, or light axe.You could chop through almost anything with the help of a rock. With the attached scabbard it is very heavy.
