Down behind enemy
lines? Left to fend for yourself? These are the scenarios that inspired
the LMF II. Jeff Freeman led the charge to
engineer this fearless new 10" survival knife. And it was field-tested with
the troops.
After two years of collaboration, Gerber is proud to introduce one of the toughest survival knives ever made; the LMF II. With expert instructor Frank Heyl as their guide, and the wilderness as the proving ground, Gerber created the single most important tool that you can carry. In any survival situation, the LMF II can be used to construct shelter, cut firewood, spear dinner, or slice through an aircraft fuselage; even egress through helicopter Plexiglas. When survival counts the most, the LMF II is the one tool you must have at your side.
This knife is as adaptable as the personnel who carry it. Use it to cut through the skin of a fuselage. Or sever a seat belt. Or egress through the Plexiglas of a chopper. Plus, the LMF II does a slick job cutting firewood and building shelter.
The over-molded handle successfully limits blistering. There is complete separation between the tang and butt cap, so the knife absorbs the shocks from hammering and prevents the shocks of electricity. Smartly situated grooves and lashing holes let the LMF II convert to a spear. The low-profile sheath facilitates movement, limits noise, works for parachuting, and attaches to a belt or Molle vest. The patented, integrated sharpener means edge retention in the field.
