CS Recon Scout vs. Gerber LMF II

Recon Scout. I have several of many manufacturers' blades, so I have had ample opportunity to test out many. The steel is the first consideration for me in an outdoor {heavy use} environment, SK-5, while needing oil, is much easier to field sharpen SHARP than the steel on the LMF. Also, will hold up better under extreme abuse than the stainless Gerber uses. The LMF's sheath system is nice, but it might have to be modified for silence if that is a concern. All that being said, the LMF would definately not be a waste, just not the pick I would choose.
