LMF II Infantry Knife

A survival knife designed by former military man Jeff Freeman for Gerber. The LMF II is the benchmark from which the larger Prodigy is derived.

The blade

420HC stainless steel with a high carbon content. This steel prioritizes toughness and ease of sharpening over extreme edge retention—the right compromise for a tool you sharpen in the field.

Lanyard holes

The knife features lanyard holes: it can be attached to a pole and used as a stake. This is a rare and explicitly intended feature, not a workaround.

The sheath

Two thigh straps for stable leg carry, rather than a sheath that bounces on the belt.

What it's for

Chopping firewood, setting up shelter, cutting webbing: it is a versatile bivouac and rescue tool, built to last rather than to slice finely.

Category D bladed weapon: sale restricted to adults. By ordering this product, you certify that you are at least 18 years old. Carrying and transporting it without a legitimate reason is prohibited (Internal Security Code).
