Gerber 22-01400 LMF II Survival Knife - Coyote Brown

Product Description

KNIFE LMF II ASEK COYOTE BROWN Manufacturer: gerber Model Number: 22-41400

I puchased the LMF II as a survival knife. It is a sturdy knife with a neat sheath and built in sharpener. The one complaint I have is that I bought the knife because it was advertised as being made of Sandivik 12/20 stainless steel however when I recieved it there was a sticker stating the blade was 420 HC steel. Obviously this in not as good a steel however upon contacting Gerber I was informed by the tech dept that Sandivik was not sending consistently good steel. So the decision was made at Gerber to use the 420 HC which can be treated to a good duribility. So in summery here is my PROS/CONS:

Pros: Heavy duty, great serrations on blade, great sheath design and comes with leg straps and seatbelt cutter(not that I'll ever use it).

Cons: This knife is HEAVY (but that is a durability trade off), Plastic in handle(for elec. insulation) not great for battoning(shelter making) I already destroyed this stuff, Point on pommel useless unless you want to break glass/plexi. I would have rather had a better pommel hammer.

Overall good knife I would take it with me if I had to have a knife to survive with, I'd rather lug a heavy blade than a light one that could break.


I purchased this knife before going on a primitive camping trip to False Cape State Park in Virginia. Going on a trip like this without a reliable blade is like driving your car without a seat belt, you might be OK without it but what happens when all hell breaks loose. While I didn't experience any significant hardships on this trip I knew I had a capable knife. It did get used to prep meals, cut basic rope and some wood as well as get used as a hammer quite frequently. It shows some good wear and tear but whats the point of having a knife like this if it isn't going to get dirty. Even got used to help me repair a few things on my bike during the trip. Absolutely recommend this knife.


I bought this knife for camping and backpacking. The case straps to your calf or belt. The knife is heavy duty and can take a beating. The website below shows videos of what this knife can take. I knew it was a good knife before I bought it, I just didn't realize how good. It has some weight to it, but has a ton of great features. The blade is nearly 5 inches long and partially serrated. The case is fire resistant, has a built in sharpener, and securely holds the knife in place. The grip is comfortable and secure. Gerber designed this knife with the military, you can tell. I love Gerber, and I love the LMF 2, defiantly the best knife I own.

The knife comes with a seatbelt cutter in a nylon sheath. I think all the LMF's do, but it isn't explicit in the descriptions.

The knife is sturdy, the blade has a fine utilitarian shape, the grip fits the hand well and the sharpener in the sheath is very convenient. The sheath itself has so many options for mounting it feels a little cumbersome, so much so that it needs an instruction manual on the sheath. There doesn't appear to be a good solution between "dump it in a pocket of a back pack" and "it is it's own drop-leg rig." There are lots of options if you've got MOLLE attachments, though. I took off the cordura and slid the knife in the plastic sheath in the pocket of my back pack next to the hydration bladder.
