Designed by former military man, Jeff Freeman, this survival knife is as adaptable as the personnel who carry it. The blade of the Gerber LMF II Knife has a non-reflective black finish. Use it to cut through the skin of a fuselage. Or sever a seat belt. Or egress through the Plexiglas of a chopper. Plus, the LMF II does a slick job cutting firewood and building shelter. It can even be lashed to a pole to create a spear. The low-profile sheath facilitates movement, limits noise, works for parachuting, and attaches to a belt or Molle vest. The patented, integrated sharpener means edge retention in the field. Click for larger image of LMF II ASEK, Black Handle.
