Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-01629 LMF II Black Infantry Knife with 4.8-Inch BladeCustomer Review: Super knife, best knife Summary: 5 Stars
I've read reviews about this knife before purchasing it, and the negative ones were complaining about the bulkiness and weight of the knife. IT"S AN INFANTRY SURVIVAL KNIFE, NOT A POCKET KNIFE.
The knife IT"S NOT HEAVY...the weight is perfect, the strap and sheath are comfortable over long pants (who goes in the woods in shorts, shouldn't be in the woods in the first place:)
It's the best knife I bought..and compared to $99.00 at Cabela's this knife is a steal for approx 65-70 bucks.
Love it, love it, love it
Customer Review: Great knife set - sheath can be fixed Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very solid, functional knife that will perform well in a variety of situations. I use mine regularly on hikes and keep it in the glovebox for emergency use. Many people have commented on the difficulty of drawing this knife from its' sheath, which was a problem for me at first. I solved this minor issue by applying Armor All to the plastic lip of the sheath. This slick covering has definitely improved ease of use and functionality, while the sheath still retains the knife with no risk of slippage. Overall, a great, quality product.
Customer Review: Exactly what I wanted Summary: 5 Stars
I did a lot of research before ordering and couldn't be happier now that I have it in-hand. The description doesn't do the quality of this knife justice. The grip is unlike any other and feels like it is super glued to your hand. As others have mentioned, the length of the straight part of the blade is pretty good for most tasks and the weight should help accomplish most anything in the wild. I can't wait to field test it soon. Anyone giving less than 3 stars on this knife probably has no business owning one in the first place.
Customer Review: Monster of a knife! Summary: 4 Stars
This is definitely a man's knife. I even use it to cut palm limbs in my yard. When in the brush, it can take down some serious branches and limbs in your way. It's big and may be a little too much for camping at the park, but if you go off the beaten path, this is your knife. You can literally use it as an axe to cut small trees. I gave it 4 starts because the rubber wears at the business end of the handle. It's from me chopping and slashing branches. I think I can put some clear epoxy on it or something to bolster it.
Customer Review: strong, sturdy, great value Summary: 5 Stars
i use my LMF II primarily for hiking and camping purposes, and it works very well for my needs. previously, i used a small pocket knife for carving and whittling and a bulky hatchet for serious cutting, but this knife allows me to combine the two into a single blade for better efficiency. the blade keeps its edge very well due to the wide angle, and the steel quality is high for the price. the built in sharpener in the sheath is very convenient in the wilderness. all in all, this knife is a great value.
