The Gerber LMFII survival knife-tool is without question a superb and piece of design and engineering. The 10.59" combination blade is made from 12C27 Stainless steel. The handle is made from extremely hard glass fibre with an rubberized coating giving a good weight behind the striking point located on the pommel plus the coating gives you a sure grip in all weather conditions and will limit skin blisters if used on a prolonged basis. The sheath is extremely versatile. It can be used suspended from a belt with leg tie or totally strapped to the calf. Alternatively it can be disassembled to produce a low profile lash down sheath. The synthetic sheath also contains a sharpening system.

GERBERS DESCRIPTION
Down behind enemy lines? Left to fend for yourself? These are the scenarios that inspired the LMF II.

Former military man, Jeff Freeman led the charge to engineer this fearless new 10" survival knife. And we field-tested with the troops.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.
