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
