A Note About LMF II Inventor Jeff Freeman

The Army trained Jeff to be an expert machinist, and then stationed him in Panama to perform aviation maintenance and toolmaking. Upon completion of his tour of duty he earned his BS in Manufacturing Engineering from Oregon State University while working full-time as a welder, machinist and ironworker. He joined the Gerber team in 1998. In the spring of 2000, he was promoted to Senior Mechanical Engineer and has been involved in new product design and development. Jeff's design credits include the Freeman Fixed Blade and collaboration on the Gerber-Emerson Alliance.

The Gerber Story
Savvy. Ingenuity. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that contributed to our emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. But then there's the issue of toughness. And frankly, nothing could be tougher than living down the first career of founder Joseph Gerber as...that's right...an advertising man. You could call it the "Boy Named Sue" syndrome. And live it down we have.

Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910. One Christmas, he hired a local knifemaker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular, Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.

It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand. One that commands respect among knifelovers and knifemakers alike. And now that high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products. Such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and backpack hydration.

Specs on knives need to be better on Amazon January 5, 2009
The blade is NOT 3 3/4 inches long as written in description.
It is 4.84 inches long.

And most knives in Amazon do not indicate blade lengths which is critical.
And we're Americans- at LEAST give it to us inches and not just metric.

Lastly, tell us where the knives are made. Had to look everywhere on the web
to finally confirm the Sog seal knives were in fact made in Taiwan.

Gerber LMF II Knife December 21, 2008
Props.

Upon receiving this brilliant tool (wouldn't really consider it a knife really... it has SO many uses), i was very impressed with not only the quick shipping by amazon (thanks boys), but also the amazing sheath and harness straps that came with the knife!

The ONLY REASON i did not give this knife 5 stars is because: one - i just got it and have not made it to the wilderness yet (its below freezing out there... ill wait till spring thanks), and two - i do not know its true durability.

I can say however that this is one of the finest pieces of equipment for its kind. I am going to be living in jungles in central and south america in the near future for a long duration of time. With this knife + my survival skills... anywhere is my home.

Great knife December 1, 2008
This is a great knife. Very heavy and well balanced.

What I don't like is the sheath. It is too busy and complicated, yet, barely useful. Friction clip is too tight and way too many straps and ties. A simple sheath with a belt loop would have been worthy of 5 stars.

Knife Review November 17, 2008
This Knife is awesome ! Very durable and extremely well built ! Knife comes with a really nice sheath. The sheath is a bit cumbersome although I do not believe there is any other sheath out there with the adaptability that this sheath has. You can literally attach it to anything you can imagine. The leg straps that come with it are very nice as well, they keep the knife in place while hiking. I use this knife as my hiking/survial knife and it has proven to be very good for that. I used to just carry a pocket knife, after seeing what this knife can do I will not leave home with out it. The sheath has a retension clip in it that keeps the knife extremely secure, you don't even have to use the nylon button straps that are near the handle. The knife stays in place no matter what kind of activity you are doing...trust me. The knife it self has a very nice feel to it, it fits in my hand very well. My only gripes about it are; I do wish the blade was about an inch longer, this could come in kinda handy. And I think that the factory could have put a slightly sharper edge on it. Don't get me wrong...this knife is sharp, but I thought it could be a little sharper...although that may take away from it's durability...not sure. Other than that I would definately purchase this knife again. There are several extreme durability tests that you can search and find on the net(youtube) that swayed me to buy this knife. It proved to be very tough !!

A knife for all reasons and seasons November 14, 2008
The knife is definitely for Outdoor survival. With the attached scabbard it is very heavy. Could be used as a hammer, spear, or light axe.
You could chop through almost anything with the help of a rock.
