Clearing Confusion in the different sorts of Gerber LMF II Knives - ASEK versus Infantry versus Survival

A thing of caution when you purchase this kind of knife, many sellers don't know the variations within the models. I've come across both, physical stores an internet-based stores selling the incorrect knife underneath the wrong title so Be Cautious! It might be worthwhile to pay for a bit more from the trustworthy store to be certain you are getting exactly what you would like.

You will find three types (not two) of Gerber LMF II knives, the ASEK, the Survival, and also the Infantry. Many people think there have been 3 types launched. Listed here are the variations.

The Gerber LMF II ASEK version has the sheath, knife, TWO leg straps, the security knife, and also the safety knife sheath. The additional rotor blades for that safety knife are available in the handle. The ASEK is just obtainable in the foliage eco-friendly color which is INFRA-Red-colored resistant.

The Gerber LMF II Survival version has the sheath, knife, TWO leg straps, the security knife, and also the safety knife sheath. The additional rotor blades for that safety knife are available in the handle. The SURVIVAL version is just obtainable in the camel brown color. It's not infra-red-colored resistant.

The Gerber LMF II Infantry version has the sheath, and something leg strap. The INFANTRY version will come in foliage eco-friendly, camel brown, and the most popular... black.

There's another factor worth focusing on you need to know. From The month of january 2008 to April 2008 the steel of those knives was temporarily transformed in the Sandvik 12C27 SS to 440A US SS. In May of 2008 production was started again using the original steel. Gerber needed to change steel types due to deficiencies in material available. The 440A US SS was the nearest match they might get.

They are great knives and that i recommend them. They're good for hunting, camping, survival, and they've even seen action in another country. If you're searching for a great solid fixed edge knife you cannot fail using these models.
