Gerber LMF II Infantry

[Fordtough25]

Anybody use one of these? I played with one at Knob creek and have wanted i since. Probably use it in a general fashion, or for anything and everything. Look forward to any first hand experience!

 

[grunt soldier]

they are a pretty solid knife. I believe knifelady could hook you up. however I think there is better out there for the money with out a doubt. unfortunately gerbers quality control has went way down hill lately and they aren't putting out the best stuff this day and age!

 

[daedrian]

It's a good knife, but I always thought mine felt badly balanced and clunky. It will stand up to just about anything you put it through though, just don't expect the blade to stay sharp through it. I have to use the sharpener that's built into the sheath very often.

Good knife for the money. I just wish they made a non serrated version. Deal breaker for me.

 

[traderdan]

Solid knife,but 420 stainless leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[Shootsforfun]

Great Knife I have had mine for years very tough and durable

 

[mrtdrew]

Its a great knife but the blade steel leaves a lot to be desired and its also really heavy you could put your money towards a much better blade for even less money. just for general purpose work I would recomend you take a look at the SOG NW Ranger knife Aus 8 steel kraton rubber handle leather sheath its a great knife looks cool and only costs about 50 bucks

 

[mrtdrew]

I probably wouldnt recomend it just because there is such better value out there for your money.

From what I have seen and heard, it works great, but I would make sure you get the US made one, and not some China made rip off. They aren't the same standard.

Picked up one last night from Bass Pro, love it! It's US made and the sheath is pretty nice, comes with belt loop and optional thigh straps. I grabbed a SOG machete as well for cutting through the back country. The Gerber feels as good in my hand as the one I held at Knob creek, I am pumped!

I have an original LMF but like the newer LMF II as well. I might need to pick one up for common use.

 

[repeter1977]

glad to hear, I have heard this are the more durable ones, since they can be used as spears, and survival knives.

Knife works great! Used it to gut a nice doe and it performed great, even sowing through the breastbone. Love it!!

Glad to hear that they are still making some good products at least.

Yes these are good knives. I sell them and have a hard time keeping them in stock. They sell well at the guns shows. They come in black, OD green. coyote brown and they are USA made. The fit is awesome in the sheath. That knife will not ever come out on it's own.

If you dont mind, let us know what you think of it after you have had it and used it a while.

He already did when he posted how he used it on a deer.

Thanks! Yes that's what I am trying to do, update this thread as I use it and work it. I carry it when I am out and about quite often, used it on two deer now. Have also used it on rope, twine, plastic, cardboard. I agree on fit in the sheath, very nice. I really like it still and think it is doing great. Lots of great knives out there for sure, and more I want but this one works great for me.

Sounds as if you are happy with your knife. I hope you enjoy.

Still loving the Gerber! With it and my Junglas I have been tearing through the woods, I never knew I could have this much fun with knives! Almost as much fun as shooting, but you don't have to buy ammo for the blades!
