Customer Review: Great Knife!

Great Knife! I bought this for camping and once out of the box, i knew i made the right choice. Thanks Gerber for making another great product. Oh,by the way MADE IN U.S.A.Customer Review: Great Knife!!!!! Must Have
Summary: 5 Stars
This by far is one of the best knives on the market. I have been in debate about this knife over the last 6 months or so. I needed a good strong knife for search and rescue operations so after looking at all the knives on the market I decided to go with this one and I am glad i did. For starters the knife itself is very strong with the thick blade. The sheath is top notch and the knife is very secure in it. The sharpener that is intigraded into the sheath is a added bonus and works great as well. Great tactical knife as well for someone that is involed in search and rescue a Must have in or on your gear. Another factor for me was that a guy on [...] did a review of this knive and he did a series of test and it past no problems it did finally break the tip anyway after it was put in a vise and pressure was applied over and over again very impressive, if you go to [...] type in Gerber LMF II test it should come up.Customer Review: Great Survival Knife
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent knife, and excellent quality. This knife can take severe punishment, and at the end of the day, if you find it has become a bit dull, pass it through the sharpener (included in sheath) to tune it up. I highly recommend this knife for survival, or general occasions. The only knife I would recommend higher, is the Bayley S4. However if you are on a budget, this is the knife for you. As always Amazon seems to be the best place to purchase anything, and their service is second to none!Customer Review: Great camping knife
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this knife about two years ago and it is great. It is very sharp and holds an edge very well, the sheath comes with an integrated knife sharpener, the butt has weight that can be used to hammer a tent spike into the ground.
I highly recommend this knife.
Customer Review: Great design, great knife, great service
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this knife, nice and sturdy, and fits great in the hand. The sheath is also well built, with a lot of carry options. This knife is built for military survival use, so it's built rock solid.
The paperwork included /w the knife is a bit sparse, it only shows the various carry options. One thing you may not see in the pictures on Amazon, is the sheath also has two handle straps, which are VERY tight. So tight I could not get them snapped. I went to Gerbers' website, and contacted support via email. They promptly replied, with information, the solution and other suggestions!
This is what their reply was:
Thank you for contacting Gerber Blades regarding your LMF II Sheath Issues. This knife is hugely popular with our Government Agencies and because of the strict testing requirements of this product; the sheath must pass a 10-G Gravity Test to withstand severe warfare conditions.
Gerber is aware that the straps may be extremely difficult and are working towards a resolution. However, there is a way to "stretch" the straps, making them easier to use.
Make sure both straps that contain the snaps are "unsnapped" and open
Place your LMF II Knife fully into the sheath
Extract your knife back out of the sheath about a half an inch
Snap both straps around the smaller portions of the knife handle at this point
With the snaps fastened, push the knife back into the sheath
Allow approximately 24 hours for the straps to stretch
After about 24 hours, your straps should have stretched to a more appropriate size allowing for easier functionality of the product.
To enhance the extraction of your blade with more ease, add a drop of oil on the inside hilt (tongue) of the sheath. The handle will rub the tongue with less friction and should extract much easier.
Now that is customer service, plus their website help section is top notch!
This knife is going to be tested next time I go camping, so I will keep this review updated. So far I highly recommend this knife.
