Gerber LMF II Infantry Fixed Blade 18

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

Former military man Jeff Freeman led the charge to engineer this 10" survival knife, field-tested by Gerber with the troops. This knife is as adaptable as the personnel who carry it. Use it to cut through the skin of a fuselage, sever a seat belt, or egress through the Plexiglas of a chopper. Plus, the LMF II does an excellent job cutting firewood and building shelter.

The over-moulded handle successfully limits blistering. There is complete separation between the tang and butt cap, allowing the knife to absorb shocks from hammering and preventing electric shocks. 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 ensures edge retention in the field.
