LMF II Infantry - Black

I wish that the rubber on the finger guard was more durable. I used it to slit some kindling and accidentally got the finger guard stuck in the wood, when I pulled it out the rubber was all messed up, and the plastic was completely broken. I realize it was designed this way for electrical insulation, and it's still usable. I still really like it though!

This knife really is awesome , I was hesitant at first with such a high price tag , but I caved in and purchased this knife , it really feels like you can do anything with it . I recommend for any hunter , fisherman , military or LE.

I found this knife, in it's sheath, in an parking lot. Just laying there! I have never been so happy with a knife in my life. Nice heft, decent edge, great utility! Gerber keep up the good work.

I love this knife. It feels amazing in your hand, it looks incredible, it's tough! And the sheath is amazing. The Bear Grylls replacement fire starter fits perfectly into the sheath in the slot for the sharpener and is held nicely with a velcro strap. Some people complained that their handle wore out because it's such a tight fit. Simply remove the one velcro strap and place it underneath (the one in the friction lock). The friction lock is more than capable of holding the knife without it. There are two heavy duty snap attachments on the handle for when you want the knife strapped securely. I find the friction lock on mine is fine with the velcro removed as I mentioned, and with the snaps undone, I rarely do them up. The leg straps are very well designed with non-slip grip and elastic so you get a comfortable fit. My favorite knife hands down. I don't know what I enjoy more, the knife or the sheath. Great job Gerber.

I love the knife, I collect knives and this is really one of the best, people dont like the serrations, but in a survival setuation it is very helpful, much better for cutting robe and wire, any one who is looking for a full tang should go with the Prodogy knife from Gerber, this one is desingned to cut electrical wires with no problem. the sheath is the best I have seen in any knife ever, though I would like to see space for fire starter like the Bear Gerber survival knife.

Over all this knife was designed as a combat ready knife. The blade is great but the serrations are hit or miss with most folks, I don't mind it on this knife but prefer strait edge. The grip is nice but the rubber does rub down after a few draws out of the sheath. I'm not a big fan on how this isn't a full tang all the way through honestly, but this knife is still a very nice one to have in any collection. It's deff too bulky/heavy and is impractical for everyday use, although It's a great knife to take on camping trips. I would like to see the exact same design of this knife with a full tang all the way through to the pommel, and very securely bolted micarta scales, plus a lot less heavy. I love the sheath and the fact that you can sharpen this on the go, so thats pretty awesome. So Gerber, make it less heavy keeping the 420HC steel, maybe a bit smaller, same sheath setup with micarta scales and I'll be first in line to buy.

The handle is the most comfortable I have ever felt. The combined weight and balance makes me not want to put it down. The serrated edge is durable and gets through bone well. The blade holds an edge and the black color barely turns grey after much use. The pommel is nice but impractical for using as a hammer device. I understand it is for glass and in that way the pommel is useful. The three holes to make a spear are useful and work great on the end of a strong stick. There is a weakness though. While using the blade to chop through bone and wood while hitting the top of the knife with a large piece of wood the handle does not hold up. While chopping using my black on black lmf ll the rubber on the hand guard cracked into pieces. The plastic holding the blade and rubber together also cracked and the blade seemed to come loose inside the handle. After the handle split I came to the realization that the knife was not a full tang which displeased me very much. I've never owned a full tang knife that is busted. After the handle came apart I left the knife in my shop underneath a hanging elk, it got stolen out of my walk in cooler and now I'm out a broken knife. So the warranty doesn't really exist in my case. I was considering purchasing the "ultimate Fixed Blade" by Bear Grylls as an alternate to the lmf ll because I like the flat pommel but I also realized it does not have a full tang. So the search continues for the ideal all purpose knife.

the knife is great it can be used as a hamer break glass and great forself defense it is tuogh becuase i hoped many train climbed many mountsains and un like the bear grylls knife it last its great for self defense and the butt is great for crushing a good quility knife thats never failed me am joe agraan and this knife is great

yes it is a knife sheath and 2 leg straps

Can somebody tell me if this knife comes with a sheath?

i had the same problem as NATH. I saved my money for a long time to buy this knife thinking it would be long lasting and the rubber is peeling off the handle. very upset and disappointed. i used the knife once. gerber has lost a costumer.

I've had this beast for about a month now, and have used it on several backcountry occasions.

This piece is awesome! Very meaty, has a huge handle and I love all the features.

Have yet to lash this monster to a spear yet but I have started trimming up a staff to do so, I do not doubt it at all.

The handle is intimidating...looks like it can do some serious damage for whatever you use it for, which can be so many things.

The sheath is sweet, it's more like a sheath inside a sheath, and that has crazy attachment points. Molle, belt, belt/thigh, thigh, calf, etc...the list goes on. Fits great a Hazard 4 sling packs! Snaps snug inside and is very secure.

The integrated sharpener is cool to have but I would ONLY use it in a situation where you didn't have anything else to use. I do not find it difficult to sharpen the serrations but am having a little trouble getting the edge I want on the fine section.

I love the fact that this was made in Portland, OR.

Gerber, make more items locally, they always turn out so much better! We don't mind spending a little more for a better product.

Best ever this is one tough knife great feel and very rugged gerber has set the bar once again

Great balance, nice edge, good tool, and very intimidating...

UMBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!

obviously he/she could tell it was a quality product as soon as they picked it up. so i guess the counts for something. in my own opinion its the greatest knife on the market. had it for a year. i plan on purchasing another one asap thanks to gerber for such a great price!

this knife is amazing
I used it to take down 2 1 inch diamiter maples the other day worked amazingly. it took 5 hits each. the blade did chip but only because i oversharpened it and anyways they were tiny chips.
I also
cut up a soda can
cut through a seatbelt
this knife can do anything you can imagine and some things you cant i love it

Does this knife come with 2 leg straps? I have been looking online and have seen a few reviews saying that the infantry version comes with only one leg strap.

This knife is my favorite knife ever. It is a well built tool that I believe I could trust my life on if need be. My only suggestion is to offer a fine edge option as well. Even the Bear Grylls knife has a fine edge version and this knife is light years ahead of that. Food for thought. Thanks for making an amazing knife, Gerber.

used it to cut down a 1 inch thick maple the other day blades still in great shape 1 or 2 chips gotta love high carbon steel.

the one downside is when i wear it drop leg it pulls my pants down but thats it

Great features for the price.

This knife is a solid performer - has a skull-buster, built-in field sharpener, sheath that wont let your opponent take it out and use it against you, has a very hard blade that takes and holds an edge, and the grip doesn't get slippery when covered in blood. I have a Ka-Bar Tanto that I paid same money for and the Gerber is much better in terms of features and performance. I bought 2 for my sons - one is a Cavalry Scout and the other is a Blackhawk Pilot. I feel good knowing they have this knife with them when the combat gets personal.

With a bit of research I have found out from store here in NZ, the Gerber LMF II is the best selling knife.

High quality knife. And very pleased with it.
Have been using it to gut and chop through rabbit bone, and making camp fire's.

You folks thought of everything. You don't even mention the sharpener in the sheath, the elastic stitched straps, or the fact the sheath can be mounted to anything! The blade is fantastic! Love the thick tip that won't break, the thick blade for chopping! A beauty!

Ok, so its a great knife, however the the top of the handle is peeling from the tang of the blade even though ive only used the sheath a dozen times, this is because of the nylon strap which holds the sheath in-place...dissapointed...
Dont know if I will be able to claim it on warrenty or not.

I have two aircraft used to haul people and equipment to remote areas. I have replaced a lot of my survival equipment with this one knife. This design saves space and weight and has the fuctions every working pilot needs in has airplane. I plan on buying a few more for my other pilot friends for that extra safety if they ever need it.

I have this knife attached to my tac vest. I've used it to hack apart bundles, cut open tires, cut down ropes, hack through brush, this knife does it all!

Its a good overall knife but the ruber at the top has started to peel back.
But other that that its great.

This knife is great. Super sharp. I love the weight of it, it makes it reasonable for chopping smaller things up. Not really a fan of friction sheaths though. Two snap straps PLUS extreme friction (I find it hard to remove with one hand), seems like a bit of overkill. Leg straps are cool, spear loops are cool, and spike is cool, though I've never actually used any of them practically.

I have yet to test it extensively, however from what I know about it I am satisfied

This knife should be sold as a multi-tool as it is so awesome!

this knife is beast and a solid survival knife that can also be a combat knife. the only problem is the sheath holds the knife in to much which makes it hard to take out quick.

Great Knife, My brother in-law said I should buy it after he came home from a deployment. I did, only one problem I need the MOLLE attachment and cant find one.

Do love this knife. However I really want this to be full tang construction! I recently bought one and straight out of the box the blade was wobbling in the handle, quite significantly. Fortunately Gerber has excellent customer service and replaced it for me... But I just want this full tang.

This knife seems extremely durable based off off the videos I've seen on it. A very handy tool for anyone to use. Also it looks very nice. I love the fact it has a surpassed edge. Rope cutting is so much easier

Not a fan of serrations, but the LMF II has great serrations that don't chip easily. The knife is very well built and has a nice, rugged feel to it. As for the sheath it's the best one I own - light, comfortable and versatile with an integrated field-sharpener, what more would you need?
The only problem I have with the LMF II is the exact same to KEOGHs - the friction lock on the sheath was wayyy too damn tight and 'shaves' the rubber off the handle. I would recommend loosening it up a little by putting wood or old books between the friction lock and the sheath, work your way up from smaller to bigger as you don't want the clip to snap.
Aside this small issue, it's a fantastic knife a gets a definite 5/5.

Thanks Gerber

this is a great knife it does a fantastic job a cutting wood for building a shelter...it is a very strong knife it will not break or chip is worth every penny ( built to last) 5 out of 5 !!!
tho i have worn out the rubber next to the lashing holes at the front of the blade does any one no the best way to fix it?

THE BEST SHEATH EVER

thanks for the other pic

I have been a Gerber customer for over a decade and this is the best knife I have ever owned as a sportsman. The best part about this knife is the attention to detail (e.g., the balance, rubberized grip etc.) If their was one thing I could improve on it's the sheath, it makes way to much noise when you pull the knife out.

Can't wait to get it!!!

Best ever!

This is the greatest knife I have ever owned. I'm an avid outdoorsman and this knife has boldly stood up to every obstacle set in its path, and clears each one with ease. However, I think this would be even more fantastic if there were a fine edge version available.
Thanks Gerber for all you do!

The Knife takes a lot of abuse.
I have a warning to anyone who cares about the knifes look. The black cosmetic coating is not the same shade of black shown on the website but it is similar. Also the black cosmetic coating wears off easily.
Even if i take that into consideration it still earns 5 stars. It is the bets knife ever.

i got the knife, and out of the box, when ever i squees beside the 2 holes up top, it makes a clicking noise! sooo wtf. also, gr8 sheath but the retention snap is so tight that whenever i pull the knife out.......it has some wrinkling on the hilt!? so ya could smoone tell me wat up?

I've always been a fan of the gerber line but this is over the top. I carry it wherever I go. There's nothing this knife can't do!

put up more pictures gerber
the knife is astronomicaly understated by the one picture. put up 2 or 3 more.

GReat knife 7 stars out of 5

i ordered mine 4 days ago and can't wait for it to come. i researched knives for a month before i got it and this seemed like the best one. it isn't too big or excessive and can be carried evry where. the best knife when your lost in the woods is the one you have with you. easy to cary. Gerber did a good job on this knife they realy went all out.

great knife please put up more pictures Gerber

it is the best and most reliable knife ever

While this blade is an awesome survival tool, this is not a zombie fighting weapon by any standard of the word. Any experienced/well researched hunter would know that in a situation with the undead, the last thing you want is to stab a zombie with your knife just to have it get lodged in the tissue in the midst of a battle

This truly is the best knife ever! And yes i know that some people say that the serrations suck...Well, for many years I to thought the serrations sucked. But then as i used them in the field... They grew on me!
BEST MAKE GERBER! thanks!

I bought this knife for hiking and camping trips with my wife and son. It worked flawlessly and I plan on buying another one for my brother. So far there have been no chips on the blade and the blade comes very sharp in the box. I bought this knife in black but I'm sure the green and coyote would look just as cool. The sheath is very good compared to other knive's sheaths. This is a very cool knife and I recommend it to anyone who has an interest in knives, especially cool ones like this.
I appreciate Gerber's great customer service and I am definitely a satisfied buyer.

Thank you Gerber,
John

Former Navy SEAL Team 6

its great and keeps it edge like a charm. i wish it had a regular blade instead of half serrated. The serrations are great but inconvient

just got mine...very good weight to it and the sheath is nice as well....worth every penny in my opinion even though I haven't used it yet. Gerber managed to deliver another good product for a good price. Thanks Gerber!

awesome

I have used my LMF II for nearly 2 years, I can't say enough good things about this knife. It's rugged, thick blade is perfect for cutting moderate sized pieces of fire wood. I have used the knife as a spear to fish with, I have had some success with this. The serrations add to the usefulness by adding versatility and come in handy while cutting rope and paracord. I would recommend this knife to any outdoorsman or Serviceman.

I love this knife I have it in brown

A great blade for well...


Anything.

i will do anything to make my parents let me get it

This is my idea of a ultimate outdoor/survival knife. But with one issue and that is the part serrations. If the knife was full flat edge (from sandvik steel), then it will be a trully ultimate knife

I have many knives, but every time I go hiking/camping I take this knife with me. It stands up to any abuse you can throw at it. The grip feels amazing in your hand. When you have survival on your mind, this is the knife that will save you. 6 stars.

This knife is solid and will stand up to a lot of abuse. I wish the serrated part was shorter and that the blade was made out of a higher quality steel. It doesn't seem to keep an edge very long.

glen is scared and a wusy

This knife is waaaay better than bear Grylls knife and it was made here in the US of A a rare added bonus seeing as how many knives are now made in China =(

dont know which one better.

Perfect survival knife. I've choped wood, opened cans, threw it... Best knife ive ever had, better then my sog and crkt for survival. The sheat's perfect ; multifuctional. You can sharp the blade with the sheat. This is THE knife for survival expert!!

Great survival Knife. Glad I Bought it!

Why, 'ello me ol' mates! Weez wus just gettin some of them 'ol lmfs to add to me 'ol collection!

Just got it. Looks very versatile and has a lot of functions. I got a great deal on it for way less than more expensive knives. Really happy with it.

Can you make a fine edge version like what was done with the Bear Grylls knife?

My latest purchase and my new carry knife. This is a fine piece of gear and the quality is superb. I added a belt loop to the hard sheath so I don't need to wear the full saddle everyday and now this one is by my side from the moment I wake up till I go back to bed at night, and thats exactly where I like it. No sense owning a knife like this only to leave it at home when you need it.

The knife is strong and not that heavy, it keeps on giving and then some I use it for everything and demand it so and it never fails.

This is one of the best knifes you could possibly own! It may be heavy but it is so effective its not even funny! I tied on a fire rod and a survival whistle to my knife. If I had a dozen choices this is the knife I would get lost with! I LOVE USA MADE!!

My Dad bought me a LMF just before my first deployment. The LMF is simply a solid knife. It along with my Old Gerber Air Ranger were constant part of my kit for 4 tours in the sandbox. Far stronger than our issue knife. The sheath is terrific, Very quiet and secure. I quite frankly abused the heck out of it , Cutting Sheetmetal, Using it as a prybar, A Hammer and it kept on performing. It helped my out in quite a few dicey situations including a primary weapon failure. Sharpens back up easily with a diamond rod and a wetstone. (the built in sharpener isnt the greatest, but good in a pinch) The handle fits larger hands perfectly I would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat. Spreads Peanutbutter great too :)

I have just go this knife and it is a really nice knife. I would just like 2 sheaths for it. One for my backpack and one for my leg. If anyone knows where I can get a sheath can you email my it at travisdavid98@gmail.com

What a great Knife.

Love this knife, have had many high end $200-$300 knifes and this one keeps right up with em, love everything from the glass breaking/hammering pommel to the shealth though you will need a dedicated sharpener to keep it in tip top shape just like any knife. My only problem is with the serrations. If it was a fine edge knife it would absolutely be the perfect knife.

Great knife! I was able to pry a car door open, after it flipped over, and get the occupants out. Used the sharpener to fix the blade edge after. The knife did exactly what I purchased it for…wish I had another!

knives of all brands have broken, folded back, and just simply feel dinky in my hand. This knife has been with me longer than any other knife. I use the spine to scrape bb's; the pommel to chip slag, and hammer various parts into place. only the finish has faded. no marks, chips or dings. I recommend it and show it off to every one daily. great knife! Gerber should feel fee to send me any gift of appreciation as soon as they can

I bought 3 of them just to get Gerber to send me one. Works good on gutting deer and Zombies.

This blade becomes real dull really fast. The sheath not a very good sharpening tool. Used it to gut a deer. Wish I didn't . I ended up hacking more than cutting.

I used this knife for splitting wood for fire like Gerber says you can and what do you know now have like 5 chips in the blade.
if you have the money buy a better knife with better blade material

I bought this knife a couple of days ago and don't know how i lived with out it

This is one of the best knifes you could possibly own! It may be heavy but it is so effective its not even funny! I tied on a fire rod and a survival whistle to my knife. If I had a dozen choices this is the knife I would get lost with! I LOVE USA MADE!!

Amazing knife...used it just today to chop wood for making a fire to cook...effortless...Really sharp...had to sharpen it again afterwards though...
