gerber lmf ii

[multi]

Tried to do a forum search for reveiws from forum users on this knife, do an of you own one, I do, but I dont plan to use it untill I start a trek, a pretty long one.

Perhaps someone here owns one and has a review for it?
Maybe if its got weak spots, or should I sharpen it prior to leaving et. Or should I leave it home and opt for adifferent knife, if so what knife. Or maybe just worry about taking that and a usual back up.
Hoping to only use it rarely anyway, actually thinking about it, ill probably just have tied to my thigh anyway without any use or need for it.

Ive read mixed reveiws but nearly all from american sites, they probably tackle gators with theirs lol.

All I know is the knife feels so good in the hand.

Thanks
Adam

i've used one for an afternoon...don't own one.

it's good enough. better than many of the new gerbers.

why not just take it out and play with it.

see if YOU like it.

Hi matey
i have one and I love it but then that's just me. It does everything I have asked from it from food prep to feathering building shelters and it takes a real battering and still smiles at you. Obviously it is a big knife and I have had a few strange looks at camp meets with a Lara croft style strapped to your thigh but we a few others played with it it was enjoyed. Not everyone's cup of tea but take it out use and abuse it you won't be disappointed. Not much of a review but just my opinion. Let us know when you get back if you do decide to take it
all the best

Look for reviews of the Bear Grylls knife. Its the same knife in a different colour.

Theres a slight variation in the handle shape, but other than that, they are more or less identical

I think the latest models of both are different slightly?

Serations look slightly more rounded on the lmf ii and bevels deeper

Not full tang but very capable tool you won't go far wrong but the .bg is more sivvie looking and as hillbill says the same but cheaper knife .

Aye, they aint totally identical, but a review of the bear grylls knife will be a good comparison to the LMF 2 and more ready available i expect.

Looks like this seasons bear grylls folder knives have taken the similar form of the previous model of the ultimate you posted
