Sheath needs work. Kirk - FEB 9, 2013
Just bought this from Cabela's for $100, loving every aspect of it, except the sheath.. The leg straps just barely fit at the top loop (with the button thingy) and won't fit at all at the bottom. It really sucks because I bought this knife to carry around my thigh/calf. Also the material the straps are made out of is pretty rigid making it somewhat hard to adjust and thread it through the small shirt loops on the plastic fastener peice. Another thing I noticed is the snap on straps to hold the knife while it's in the stealth is messed up too, the top one just barely snaps into place while the bottom one takes ten minutes or so of fighting to get it to reach and snap in place and that's if your fingers aren't to sore from the rest of the fighting with the strapping...

Survival/Security Specialist Kimbo - JAN 19, 2013
This knife is one of my everyday carry knives. Carries in my EDC shoulder bag that goes in my truck, if an emergency comes up it can get the job done without fault. I understand what went into the making of this knife and thats why it is now my main carry option for a knife. i know whatever situation I get in, it will get me home.

Submariner and Navy Diver Waltimus - JAN 12, 2013
Great knife, I've used this knife for just about everything. This is actually my second time purchasing it, first time i donated it to a friend and quickly realized this is my favorite knife. I tried other knives from every other manufacturer and this is the tops when going out in the wilderness or whatever application.

Right tool for the job. Reuben - JAN 10, 2013
Ok, I get a lot of you are using this knife as your wilderness knife/survival knife, and it's what I've been using it for as well, but I also carry it in my truck for emergencies. This knife wasn't made to be a true "wilderness" knife, but a "combat survival" knife. The serrations are there in case you have to cut through line in an emergency, the handle is rubberized for live-wire protection because if you're in a helo crash and have to cut through fuselage, you may just hit some live-wire and the handle will protect you from electrocution. The included strap-cutter is there to SAFELY cut through safety-belts in the eventuality of a crash. If I was in an accident, or came across one, I'd use the strap-cutter instead of the knife, as it insures NOT stabbing the victim. Again, it's a great knife for what it was created for, and if you can deal with that, then it'll serve you great in the wild. Otherwise, Gerber makes some other great knives that'll serve your needs better. Great job, Gerber!

electrician Robert - JAN 5, 2013
Make one with a full tang I wouldn't be cutting live wire with my knife,also offer it in a deal without the strap cutter. If I need to cut strap I'll use the knife!

Needs some improvement PaleRider - DEC 15, 2012
I like this knife. I really do. However, I think it could do with some improving, perhaps known as the LMF Mk III. Offer a full tang version with G10 scales rather than this cruddy rubber that is blister inducing. I get that it's electrically insulated, but I have no need for such a feature. Also, make the retaining clip thingy removable. Many times I've been tempted to take a hacksaw to the sheath after a wrestling match to draw the knife. I usually do not fully insert the blade, clipping only one of the straps. And, as many others have requested, make a non-serrated version. I prefer straight edge knives.
Gerber, if you read this, please, please, please, please, PLEASE!! consider making a alternate version. I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Druid Axis - NOV 29, 2012
I like the knife, saw it in stores, picking it up tomorrow, i agree no serrations. and i would rather have the pommel be one solid piece personally. i dont care about the vibration on impact or the electrical shock. i would be using something that wasnt metal if that was the case.

beginner_backpacker/survival_enthusiast Nick - NOV 16, 2012
Just special ordered this knife from my local general gun supplier. I've been interested in buying a great allround camping/backpacking/survival knife and this is the best possible choice available. After a good amount of research and finally being able to get my hands on this baby I can honestly say that this knife is all you need. Spend the extra $40 and buy this blade. Watch/read the product reviews. You won't regret it. Thanks gerber!

Yes serrations Nick - NOV 15, 2012

Perfect T - SEP 22, 2012
Amazing knife, great design over all, especially the sheath. The only problem is that it is rather difficult to remove from the sheath as it is so tight, but at least I won't lose it walking through thick brush. Anyone who doesn't want serrations doesn't understand what this knife is built for. Get a different one.

Your Title Peyman - SEP 8, 2012
This is a great knife, it is truly meant for CQC. Particularly, it has a sharp point which can be used to break a glass or to hit someone on body to inflict injury.

LMF2 Chris - SEP 4, 2012
Great setup from the sheath the the knife to the leg straps and strap cutter. It is very versatile and would be great for survival or military use!

Crusader Big Dog - AUG 20, 2012
I don't expect anything from GERBER but the best and Gerber did it with this one. I collect knives and if the S&@t hits the fan I know if I need a knife this will get me through it. If your looking for a knife that will take anything you can throw at it well, buy this one it will outperform the others that sell for hundreds more. Reasonably priced and quality is nothing but perfect.

Mr. Ryan Jenks - AUG 16, 2012
Almost perfect knife I bought it online when I opened the package the non serrated edge was unevenly ground (bigger on one side) quality control slip no biggy still dig it, great wood spliter/chopper, takes an edge easily, the serrations being on the left side work great for right handed people when shaving off wood fibers for fire starting they act like the top of a chisel bit you can control the depth easily for long strokes making the job easy and fast, the rubber on the handle however does not take impact well I took some small chunks out on a branch I was cutting down to size and the blade now wiggles in the handle a bit from use it wont last too long under regular use I'm afraid I still like it despite its flaws and don't regret the purchase I will simply make a new handle when the time comes and get it back in the field. thanks GERBS

Major Dave Buck - JUN 5, 2012
I like the knife - it's a good rugged knife with one of the more comfortable grips around. To make it even better though, how about a version in D2?

Alaska Tested Chris - JUN 3, 2012
Alaska Tested and Passed.
Used for everything from carving stakes, copping downed trees then splitting them into pieces and digging muscles out of rocks.
I put it through some real use and it handled its self well.

Expert Camper and Survival Instructor Jim Harrison - MAY 24, 2012
Very good knife except the serrations. because serration blades suck. other than the crappie serration the knife is mint PLEASE MAKE NON SERRATED VERSION!!! it will be worth it in the long run.

Great until it broke Tim Miller - MAY 11, 2012
I liked the knife, but while i was doing something that it was designed to do, the blade snapped in the middle not at the narrow tang. The worst part is that 2 weeks ago i filled out the warranty request that promises 2 day response and still have not heard back from them. Guess i should look for a replacement .

My favorite LEONIDAS - MAY 2, 2012
Great knife....finally i managed to get one for me (here in Greece was an adventure)...Really love this knife,exelent seath mode (maybe the best),nice handle,excelent blade....and about serrations....i love them....very strong,makes your cutting options always availble bEeouse the serrations its REALLY GOOD QUALITY
5
Great knife, no serrations please Daniel - APR 19, 2012
This is a great knife. Very solid. Gerber really needs to listen to people and make a non-serrated version too. They did it for the BG knife, why not the LMF? Other then that the knife is perfect. The sheath could use a little work but it will do.

DAM YOUR SERRATIONS Chris - MAR 29, 2012
Been looking to pull the trigger on a new knife for a while now.....and dam do I want the lmf but theres no way I would buy a knife with serrations. PLEASE make a straight edge version, I do not stand alone on this either. Read the dam comments here gerber....you made a straight edge BG knife....time for the LMF to do the same.
Other then that, its a hell of a knife.

please non serrated too Pavel - MAR 15, 2012
It's great knife of most but i would like non serrated..Thank you

lmf 2 john - MAR 1, 2012

great job gerber b pete - FEB 10, 2012
i was skeptical about getting this knife or the sog seal pup elite. outstanding job much better than the seal pup (had one, lost it due to a crappy sheath) you guys have done an excellant job on this beauty! good sharp blade straight from the factory. i think if you made a full straight edge you would sell a lot more but this is a sick knife!

Best survival knife out there. IMO Jeremy - JAN 21, 2012
Great knife and sheath. Best knife for the money. It's a complete all in one package with the sharpener in the sheath. Leg straps. Glass breaker and pummel/hammer. Great job gerber.

Absolutely Amazing! Mike - JAN 18, 2012
I purchased this knife as a x-mas gift to myself and couldn't be happier with it. Out of the box the blade has a great edge but I needed to run it through a ceramic sharpener to put a razor sharp edge on it. I have used this knife to remove boughs from pine trees with complete ease...sometimes taking off two to three with one single chop. Very strong, full tang blade! The sheath is great...however, the lower strap is a bit tough to get out due to over stitching. A+ on the knife and and A- on the sheath only due to the minor flaw, otherwise I would give it an A+ as well. Looking forward to more trips into the woods with my new toy!

Terrible sheath, great kinife! Enrique Torres - DEC 20, 2011
it is a great knife but if i'm in the woods trying to survive and i get attacked, i will never be able to get it out of the sheath in time to defend myself!
5
Solid Survival Knife Brian Maddix - NOV 30, 2011
I wish I could use this knife more that I have already. It's big. The fit in the sheath is tight, making getting it in and out a little bit of work. It is a survival knife so this way you will not lose it.
