Gerber 22-41629 LMF II Infantry Knife, Black


Quality Piece
I bought this knife looking for a solid all around hunting/survival/perhaps fishing knife. It has a good heft, its well made. I like its variety of features (serrated/straight blade, holes to lash onto spear, pointy butt end for breaking glass, flat portion on butt for use as hammer, sharpener in case) but I don't like how difficult it is to unsheath. It is held into the sheath too tightly, and the rubber drags on the way out, but otherwise, a nice knife.
This knife will outlast humanity
This is more knife for your buck than you'd expect.
I can use this as an axe, hammer or knife. It's essentially one very thick blade with a rubber coated tang, which like the blade is thick and heavy. This blade has outperformed every expectation I have for a blade. It's simple yet very effective. One of the key aspects of it that I really like is the 3 holes for attaching the knife to branch which makes it a spear. To use this as a hammer just rest the sharp edge of the blade on the wood intended to cut and hit the back of the blade with a heavy piece of wood.
I can stab right through sheet metal with this thing and it holds it's edge
I can cut through cinderblocks without any notable damage, holds edge fairly well
The grip is formed by a rubber coating over the tang. The rubber is extremely grippy, I love it.
Due to it's weight (which I actually love about it) I can easily drive the knife into hardwood when thrown, also because of the shape of the handle it...
Awesome Knife
I have used this knife for actual "survival" camping and this thing performed perfectly. I was able to swath a 1.25 mile path through intermediately dense woods with no failure. The built-in knife sharpener is incredibly handy when you're in the middle of nowhere and need to a sharp blade.

Awesome product for the price.
