 Well made item - WARNING about bad seller thoughSep 24, 2009
By Ascetic Barabas
I own this item and it is extremely sturdy and perfect for survival tasks. The blade is thick and the window breaker at the end of the handle is useful in emergencies. I CANNOT recommend this seller however, "Buy From The Best Inc." The customer service of this seller was a joke - after not shipping my item even after a week, they gave me attitude, redtape, and actually wanted me to contact amazon for them to work out their problem. When I told them it is THEIR repsonsibility to process the order with amazon they gave me more BS. When I simply told them they had 10 days to ship me the item I paid for, they STILL couldn't manage to do it! Ha! What kind of company takes 17 days to ship something within the US? I cancelled my order, wisely. Save yourself the headache, especially with an expensive item like this knife, and go with a different seller that has their act together. Please rate my review highly, so others can get this warning too.

Good all around survival knifeJun 08, 2009
By L. Hoag
"CabinFever58"
I puchased the LMF II as a survival knife. It is a sturdy knife with a neat sheath and built in sharpener. The one complaint I have is that I bought the knife because it was advertised as being made of Sandivik 12/20 stainless steel however when I recieved it there was a sticker stating the blade was 420 HC steel. Obviously this in not as good a steel however upon contacting Gerber I was informed by the tech dept that Sandivik was not sending consistently good steel. So the decision was made at Gerber to use the 420 HC which can be treated to a good duribility. So in summery here is my PROS/CONS:
Pros: Heavy duty, great serrations on blade, great sheath design and comes with leg straps and seatbelt cutter(not that I'll ever use it).
Cons: This knife is HEAVY (but that is a durability trade off), Plastic in handle(for elec. insulation) not great for battoning(shelter making) I already destroyed this stuff, Point on pommel useless unless you want to break glass/plexi. I would have rather had a better pommel hammer.
Overall good knife I would take it with me if I had to have a knife to survive with, I'd rather lug a heavy blade than a light one that could break.

 WowJan 29, 2009
By youth_pastor_jedi_master
I bought this knife for camping and backpacking. The case straps to your calf or belt. The knife is heavy duty and can take a beating. The website below shows videos of what this knife can take. I knew it was a good knife before I bought it, I just didn't realize how good. It has some weight to it, but has a ton of great features. The blade is nearly 5 inches long and partially serrated. The case is fire resistant, has a built in sharpener, and securely holds the knife in place. The grip is comfortable and secure. Gerber designed this knife with the military, you can tell. I love Gerber, and I love the LMF 2, defiantly the best knife I own.

Bad-A** Gerber KnifeSep 03, 2009
By L. Nixon
I debated, debated, debated on the LMF vs. the lower priced version (days of reading reviews over and over). For the $25 or so, I am glad I have the better knife. It is nothing but tough. The blade is sharp. The knife is balanced (and I am not a knife person, this is my first one) and heavier than you'd think (you can tell the metal runs through the handle). I don't have a lot of uses for a knife like this - people ask me why I bought it and I say 1. I am going camping (which it was very useful) but 2. Mostly I've always wanted a kick-a** knife and this is it. I keep it next to my bed and feel very secure too, rather than buying a pistol with kids in the house. The knife snaps into the sheath VERY tight so no young kid is going to pull it out. My only problem is unless I carry it every day from my bedroom to work, I won't have it all the time, so I really need two. ON pricing too, Amazon.com is the best.

A useful cutting implement.Jan 12, 2009
By S. Cain
The knife comes with a seatbelt cutter in a nylon sheath. I think all the LMF's do, but it isn't explicit in the descriptions.
The knife is sturdy, the blade has a fine utilitarian shape, the grip fits the hand well and the sharpener in the sheath is very convenient. The sheath itself has so many options for mounting it feels a little cumbersome, so much so that it needs an instruction manual on the sheath. There doesn't appear to be a good solution between "dump it in a pocket of a back pack" and "it is it's own drop-leg rig." There are lots of options if you've got MOLLE attachments, though. I took off the cordura and slid the knife in the plastic sheath in the pocket of my back pack next to the hydration bladder.
