I just bought a Gerber LMF II Infantry knife. Lets take a closer look and check out some of it's features. - Tight Lines 'n Short Blood Trails Link to buy the knife: amzn.to/3QOxnTR.
Had this knife in Iraq and the pommel was probably the most used feature because I smashed many car windows to search cars for IEDs. The integral sharpener is good enough, but not great. Grip works when sweaty and DEET does not degrade it from what I can tell. Probably one of the best all around military knives ever and was very popular.
Tengo uno desde hace 9 años, tanto el cuchillo como la funda son excelentes nunca me an quedado mal, lo unico malo es que casi desde nuevo se sentía un micro movimiento en la hoja como adentro del mango, no se si sea por el hecho de que el cuchillo tiene una separación entre la hoja y el pomo, aún así excelente cuchillo
@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors tenía 16 cuando lo compré, nunca lo pense, no se que tan costoso pueda ser hacer eso desde mi país, pero tal vez hubiera sido una solución
They did a good job- this style of blade has some heavy competition these days… I don’t discount it- but, Gerber uses some kind of magic steel no one seems to know what- guesses are 440-SS etc. I’m not a steel snob- I buy a knife for numerous reasons not just steel Content. The sheath is useable- has a lot of attractions- good vid on an older design thanks.
i still love the knife! ive always been a fan of Gerber Knives, and this one holds up to the hype. like any knife, it will get dull with a lot of use, but ive got a friend with a great sharpening system who gets it back to me better than new! thanks for watching, i hope you liked the video
That’s a tough choice. Both are great knives. The Infantry has a few more features and seems a little more robust, but the strong arm is lighter. I think the Infantry knife is my favorite, unless weight is an issue for you. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching
Well I have this LMF2 Knife for about 12yrs now and I tried to like it but I couldn't this Knife had eveything I wanted but the Reason I don't like this Knife is it can't hold a edge at all I keep coming back to it and it's Horrible can't cut though A leather belt...or a seat belts... Even twine...even my 20$ knives can cut though A leather belts and seat belts and twine..no problem...I would not trust this knife even as a back up knife I will use my 20$ Knife they cut better now i have alot of Knives from Tops to Esse to Kbar and more and this Knife is the Worst one..mybe I got a bad one with a bad Heat Treatment...but its now my Junk Knife that i dont use because its always Dull..its just Junk

Maybe you can send the knife back to Gerber and have it repaired?

Always buy Gerber direct from Gerber. Too many counterfeit items on Amazon. I've bought a couple sadly.
I’ve been fortunate. I’ve bought 4 different Gerber products from Amazon, and they are all legit. Thanks for watching !

I just put one up for sale. New in box. Bought in 2008. $100.00 on my towns craigslist. I tried to find out the steel. I'm told it changed in @ 2008
Good luck selling it! Thanks for watching

It's 420HC steel. Decent steel and stainless which I prefer for a survival type of knife.
So what knife do you recommend the strongarm ot the infantry ll?
That’s a tough choice. Both are great knives. The Infantry has a few more features and seems a little more robust, but the strong arm is lighter.
I think the Infantry knife is my favorite, unless weight is an issue for you.
Hope that helps! Thanks for watching

sorry to hear that, sounds like you may have just gotten a bad knife. i have been really enjoying mine, and it seems to hold an edge pretty well
@@Horn_n_Fin_Outdoors Nice.... that's is what I was thinking I just got a bad one.
@@spectermad9180 Yep I have 4 of them and all keep an edge really well. Maybe get a new one and give it another chance! 🙂
You should probably contact gerber because there is no way a knife wouldn’t go through a leather lol
Nice ankle tattoo
Thank you!
