Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-01463 Coyote Brown LMF II Infantry Knife
Customer Review: Very satisfied with this knife but the sheath is overbuilt
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a lot of research before choosing the Gerber LMF 2, so you can trust me if you are just starting your search for a great backwoods knife that you've just found it. I wanted a high quality survival knife that wouldn't fail me in the backcountry but at a reasonable price and this is it. This knife is heavier than I expected and I suppose this would bother some folks who intend on wearing it on extended hikes but I wore it on an 8 mile hike the other day and it didn't bother me a bit. I like the heft and solid feel of the knife for chopping and hacking. I crafted a bow on a recent camping trip using just this knife and it was amazing for tillering the limbs. You could work all day long with this knife the handle is so comfortable, and it absorbs shock amazingly well. The knife comes fairly sharp but I took my Lansky sharpening system to it and gave it a razer edge and it has held it very well. The carbide sharpener in the sheath works pretty well and I have read that the carbide blades are replaceable but I can't find them anywhere online so I just use my speedy sharp tool to maintain the edge and I will rely on the sheath sharpener for survival situations rather than wear it out. I also read online that the rubberized grip on a lot of these knives was falling apart from being taken in and out of the sheath but mine has no signs of wear. I wonder if Gerber caught on to this and re formulated the rubber. Also the retention straps to hold my knife in the sheath fit just perfect out of the box, they aren't too tight like a lot of other folks have mentioned theirs were. I would say my only complaint about this knife is the sheath. I loved it at first but now I hate it. It's way too bulky. If you compare the size of the knife to the sheath it's ridiculous. And it holds the knife way too tight. If you wear the knife just on a belt and try to remove the knife you will need both hands because the belt loop is way too big on the sheath and the knife fits so tight. I have to wear the knife crossdraw and upside down on my belt using the tighter lower loop so I can draw the knife one handed downward. The sheath comes with straps for leg carry but how irritating would that get on a hike. One plus to the sheath is it can be fastened to a backpack in a variety of ways so that is cool. I am highly considering just ordering a leather sheath for the knife online. Anyways, that should cover it. Still a fantastic knife for the money. It works well for home remodeling work too, I have been wearing mine the last week while remodeling our bathroom and have found it comes in handy for a lot of jobs.
