 Great Knife!!!!! Must Have March 8, 2010
Brian Simpkins Jr (ESSEX, MD, US)
This by far is one of the best knives on the market. I have been in debate about this knife over the last 6 months or so. I needed a good strong knife for search and rescue operations so after looking at all the knives on the market I decided to go with this one and I am glad i did. For starters the knife itself is very strong with the thick blade. The sheath is top notch and the knife is very secure in it. The sharpener that is intigraded into the sheath is a added bonus and works great as well. Great tactical knife as well for someone that is involed in search and rescue a Must have in or on your gear. Another factor for me was that a guy on [...] did a review of this knive and he did a series of test and it past no problems it did finally break the tip anyway after it was put in a vise and pressure was applied over and over again very impressive, if you go to [...] type in Gerber LMF II test it should come up.
Great knife... March 6, 2010
Brandon Strickland (Decatur, AL)
This is an amazing knife. I got my first use on a hike in the Smoky Mountains a couple weeks ago. The factory edge was sharp, the sheath is great and the knife is as tough as nails. I've seen some reviews that said the grip didn't fit larger hands. I'm 6'5" and wear XXL gloves and the grip is no problem at all. The material the grip is made out of held onto my hand even when wet from the snow.
The only negative, if I could call it that, is how tight the knife sits in the sheath. However, since this knife was first designed to be a downed airman's survival knife it had to withstand some unreal G-force and not come out.
If you are looking for a tough knife to use for hiking/camping/survival you've found it. Gotta love the folks at Gerber.
excellent March 3, 2010
William Ray (lawrenceville, ga.)
this is a great knife, it feels really good in your hand, and performs every task it claims to. the only negative thing, although i checked sheath as good. i never really liked sheaths that lock the knife in so tight. if you wanted to sneak up on someone with this knife. have it out ahead of time. getting it out of sheath is noisy.
 Seems to be built well March 3, 2010

I have not had an oppotunity to put this knife through any trials yet so I will update this when I do. What I have to say for now is that it seems to be a well built hefty knife with a very comfortable handle. One of the main reasons I decided on this knife was because of the sheath. Most of the knives that I have ever owned had what I would call barely adequate sheaths. This one is very good. I like that it is made with synthetic material that will not rot. I also like that it has drain holes so it will not retain moisture. The built in sharpner is a nice idea though I allways pack a small one anyway. And of course the many many different ways in which this sheath can be attached to a pack, your leg, belt etc. gives a lot of options for the type of activity you are planning on. The serations on the knife for me are just right. The fact that they are on the blade instead of the spine means that the knife will not loose rigidity or strength. Also that it is stainless and will not rust is a big plus for me since I live in the Pacific Northwest. I know that some say that stainless is too hard to sharpen in the field, but that is why I carry the extra sharpner. I have other stainless knives and have realy not found this to be a problem.
Not a Cheap Knife March 3, 2010

The old saying you get what you pay for applies here. This knife will last a lifetime. It is well made and sharp, an excellent choice as a "survival" knife. The knife and sheath work well together as system.
The blade is strong and sharp. The blade is thick enough to chop small trees and pry things with, not what you would normally use a knife for. This is still a knife though and it excels at its primary function which is cutting. Its sharp enough to shave with and has a serrated portion for cutting rope. The handle is a comfortable non-slip rubber that feels good in your hand. The butcap has a great point for smashing safety glass or as a secondary defensive striking option. By detaching the plastic portion of the sheath from the webbing the blade becomes a handle and a flat portion at the butcap end can be used as a hammer.
The sheath is smartly constructed with leg straps and multiple attachment options. A built in sharpner helps you keep the blade sharp after heavy use. The knife is held in place in the plastic part of the sheath by a spap in pressure fit. The plastic part of the sheath attaches to the nylon webbing with sturdy velcro straps which makes for easy removal. The webbing portion adds 2 retaining straps that have button snaps that help hold the knife in the sheath. There are 2 elastic webbing leg straps with plastic buckles for use in an ankle carry or use 1 as a leg strap with the belt loop.
This is the best knife for the money I have ever owned. If I could only have one knife this would be it.
