    Lightbulb The Survival Knife Thread

    I just ordered a black Gerber LMF II Infantry Knife from Amazon for $67.65 with free shipping -

    I also have a nice Winchester folding knife that packs really well.

    What do you prefer?

    I have a GI issue Camillus folding pocket knife (all stainless one, a lot like the old Boy Scout pocket knife) that I carry everywhere with me. I have a Becker Campanion (Pre-Kabar) as well as a Kabar Kukri machete that stay with my BOB, along with a SOG multi tool.

    I also have a SOG Desert Dagger that I'll throw my bag sometimes. They don't make those anymore, but the Daggert is close.

    ETA - I picked up one of the new production Gerber Mk II's at the Tanner recently, cheap. I'm not sure yet if I like it better than my Desert Dagger, but I've always wanted one and I sure wasn't going to pay $200+ for any of the ones I've seen for sale lately.

    I have one of those too, serious piece of steel. Could be a touch longer but it's such a hog I call mine "The Buick Skinner".


    Where'd I put that?...

    I bought the Gerber LMF ASEK about a year ago from LAPG-great built like a tank knife !! I've since become a huge fan of RAT Cutlery (now ESEE knives). They make some great 3.5" fixed blade knives for EDC. I'm waiting for their new Junglas knife to be released this month. That will give me a good range of different size knives for different usages. The only thing about the Gerber is I wished it hadn't been a combo blade. I prefer good quality plain edges that if kept properly sharpened will do any job you need for it to do. JMHO

    If I could only have one, a Gerber LMF. I own a lot of knives and the Gerber LMF is the one I trusted and carried in Iraq.

    Leatherman tool and a Wakizashi and you're set.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
