![]() Thanks for sharing all the info with us. I just purchased one on ebay. Saved around $30 total.

![]() Great review, thanks. I have been a fan of Gerber for years and have been looking at this knife or the Prodigy. The review is definitely helping me narrow it down, but I'll probably end up getting both.
![]() I did run across a site that has both these knives on sale, that I'd like to share with you guys. Gerber LMF II around $80: http://www.lapolicegear.com/lmfiiasek.html Gerber Prodigy under $50: http://www.lapolicegear.com/geprcocokn.html Glad to share the wealth. |

![]() Just a quick reply that you can get the buck nighthawk w/serrations at Wally World. That's where I got mine at.

![]() Great Review man. I have one in Coyote Tan. And the only downside to the knife is the sheath, when you use the knife as a hammer, the blade can cut through the hard plastic lining of the sheath and cut through the sheath itself. The way the made the serrations on this knife is pretty decent, instead of being the large sawtooth serrations they are smaller, about as close to a straight edge as you can get without having one, and still having a serrated cutting edge.

![]() I finally got my Gerber LMF 2 A.S.E.K and I love it. Its sturdy, strong, and feel nice in the hand. The sheath is better than it looks on line. Hands down worth every penny. I got mine on ebay for a $115, certified with the right cerial # 22-01627.
Any how I would recommend this to everyone, quality and 100% American Made. |

Realistically, in a survival scenario (urban or non) one may need to peel an apple (or whittle a fish spear or trap trigger, etc.), then baton through some tough wood, then chip away at gravel or even concrete, only to need to peel an apple again (or some other delicate work) - can it return to that level of operation? I am looking for something that can serve as a "last knife" - meaning a knife I can have, use, in some cases abuse, and NEVER need to replace (theoretically). If we encounter a serious situation, Gerber may not be around to sell you another ;-) This knife may perform that well... dunno. Interested to find out. |

Your not going to effectively cut a oak tree down with it but it does not mean its not a good knife.LOL Its a great knife, but unless no other choice is available, use the right tool for the job. |

![]() I have to agree. I recently pulled the trigger on one of these as well. Portland, OR Made Coyote Brown with 2lg strap holster.
I have been researching the various survival knives out there from, RTAK Knives, TOPS, Spyderco, Custom Makers, etc. I chose the LMF because I think it offers everything I need in one knife. I have a folder for smaller work. If I need to do any serious chopping/sawing, I'll just get a hatchet/axe/folding saw. Right tool for the job always is a good motto and ensures your tools, in their proper usage, remain reliable for years. When you start using one tool for something it's not designed for/great at, I think you run the risk of ruining your gear or not accomplishing the task adequately/efficiently. You can put a price on being efficient in my opinion. All in all I'm initially very impressed. Can't wait to field test it soon. (Just got it yesterday). It is a beast of a knife. |

![]() i have had my LMF2 for about 2 summers now.
its a great knife, although i think the sheath is a bit lacking. even tho it has a built in sharpner, i think i would've preferred a nylon sheath wth an accessory pocket for a ferro rod instead. can't remember who did it, but someone on this site had a thread about their sheath setup... was pretty nice. i've used mine for some light battoning and the blade is still sharp. Black finish on the blade is now a bit scratched, but everything else is fine. ![]() |

http://www.outdoorpros.com/Prod/Gebe...n/10792/Cat/19 Now Gerber has discontinued the 22-01627, I am not sure why maybe people were buying more of the cheaper versions. But you can still find them. If you Google Gerber LMF ii ASEK 22-01627 you can still find a bunch for sale. Also on Ebay where I found mine type the same thing. Just be careful people advertise some as the ASEK even when there not, so look for the serial number 22-01627. ![]() But from what I have read on hear for the most part they are all great knives, I know I love mine. |
