Aircraft Egress

Every Gerber product has a story to tell. The story of the LMF II is one of resilience and resourcefulness, of being on the wrong side of sticky situation and living to tell the tale. The purpose driven design of this knife stems from the experience of former military man Jeff Freeman, combining thoughtful design features and life-saving application.

Originally designed to free an aircrew from a downed aircraft, the LMF II is tough enough to cut through the fuselage of an aircraft and smart enough to ensure you are safe while doing so. The knife has a purposeful break between the tang and the butt cap, providing insulated protection against stray wires and absorbing any shock from hammering.

This 10” survival knife was built to adapt to any scenario thrown at it – ensuring comfort, versatility, and safety when you need it most.

Product Description

Product Description

The Gerber Gear LMF II Infantry Knife is as adaptable as the personnel who carry it. Originally designed to free an aircrew from a down aircraft, the LMF II 10” survival knife was field tested with American troops and engineered in partnership with our country's bravest. This MOLLE-compatible knife is rugged and versatile, with a partially serrated fixed blade that can also serve as a pommel. The sheath includes a built-in blade sharpener and two leg straps for safety and comfort. The LMF II is tough enough to cut through the fuselage of an aircraft and smart enough to ensure you are safe while doing so. The knife has a purposeful break between the tang and the butt cap, providing insulated protection against stray wires and absorbing any shock from hammering. Like all Gerber products, this convenient Gerber knife and sheath is backed by the Gerber Guarantee, our limited lifetime warranty.

The Gerber 22-01629 LMF II Black Infantry Knife was designed for survival during even the worst conditions. This 10-inch survival knife was engineered by former military man Jeff Freeman and was field-tested with troops, ensuring that it can stand up to rugged, rigorous use and offer high performance under a variety of emergency conditions.

Strong, Serrated Blade Can Be Used in All Situations
Whether you need to cut firewood, build a shelter, or slice through a seat belt, the LMF II survival knife has you covered. It was designed to adapt to a wide variety of situations, so you'll never have to worry whether you have the right knife.

Unique Buttcap Can Pierce Glass
In addition to the blade end of the knife, Gerber also gave the LMF II a unique, pointed buttcap that is made of stainless steel. This heavy end can be used to pierce glass in the event you need to egress from a helicopter or other vehicle. The buttcap features a smart design that is physically separated from the tang in order to offer shock absorption when it's used as a hammer and also to prevent electrical shock.

Smart, Versatile, Comfortable Design
The LMF II features an overmolded handle, which helps prevent hand blisters and provides a secure grip. It is also designed with lashing holes, allowing it to be converted into a spear and extending its usability. The black color keeps you inconspicuous while you are out on night-time missions.

Sheath Included with Built-In Sharpener
A low-profile sheath is included and it features a built-in carbide sharpener. The stainless steel blade can withstand a ton of abuse, but if it ever gets damaged or needs sharpening, you won't be stuck out in the open with a dull knife. The sheath facilitates movement and attaches to a belt or MOLLE vest.

Gerber's History of Ingenuity
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular, Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.

For more than half a century, Gerber Legendary Blades has been helping people fend for themselves. Gerber designs popular, dependable tools and knives along with other outdoor gear that helps users accomplish whatever tasks they may be faced with, promoting the lost art of self-reliance.

I bought this knife mainly to carry with me while backpacking and camping and essentially everything outdoors. I luckily received it in the mail just a day before I went on a WIlderness Survival camping trip. It was a great way to give it a test run.To help anyone with a short attention span, heres a quick pro's and con's after using it this weekend:Pro:-Sharp out of the box-Comfortable-easy/many ways to cary-Pretty good at throwing sparks-Good for battoning-Awesome that it has a built in sharpener-Easy to lash to make a spearDefinitely snug in the sheath (could possibly be a con)Con:-Some may think it is heavy for its size, wasn't a problem for me.-Part of the handle near the blade got a little beat up from chopping. Kind of expected since it made contact hard with wood.-Small area for the hammer and kind of awkward to hold while hammering-(possible) too snug in the sheath. The knife was intended to be able to jump from a plane with it... Many of us won't do that. But the 2 snaps hold it, and even without the snaps on, it stays in place due to the sheath itself being snug.My weekend with my new knife put it through a few test exercises. It worked great chopping trees and branches to build my shelter, I was actually surprised at how quickly I managed to cut my way through them. Battoning firewood was easy to do and it glided through. The serrated blade may be a downside to some, but it was beneficial for my experience. I managed to light a few fires using the spine of the knife with my fire striker, it throws sparks nicely although it does help to wear down the black coating a little. Ergonomically the knife feels great, it is weighted nicely and I could see it being a good throwing knife as well.Carry wise I normally had it in hand most of the weekend, the leg straps did not work as well for me, I was wearing rain pants and it didn't stay on too tight. It would be better to use 1 leg strap along with the belt loop in my opinion. The molle attachments I used on my pack and it worked nicely, I used the same attachment today on my camelback, looked clean.I added about 20ft of Pcord behind the handle on the sheath, as well as attached a fire striker to the front of it. Picture will be up momentarily.Also: I compared my knife to my buddy's LMF II ASEK that he has, we saw no difference besides color, he had a belt cutter that he doesn't bother bringing anywhere, the ASEK seemed to be a little bit heavier and his Gerber insignia on the blade looked different (the last 2 might have been because his was a year old though)Hope this helps yall, comment if you need any more information. This is a great knife and will be with me whenever I am doing anything outside.

To help anyone with a short attention span, heres a quick pro's and con's after using it this weekend:

Pro:
-Sharp out of the box
-Comfortable
-easy/many ways to cary
-Pretty good at throwing sparks
-Good for battoning
-Awesome that it has a built in sharpener
-Easy to lash to make a spear
Definitely snug in the sheath (could possibly be a con)

Con:
-Some may think it is heavy for its size, wasn't a problem for me.
-Part of the handle near the blade got a little beat up from chopping. Kind of expected since it made contact hard with wood.
