I've used this knive extensively in the Desert in Arizona and just recently used it in the woods in Pennsylvania. It is pretty excellent for batoning firewood. 440hc blade holds a keen edge for a looooong time. I ditched the fabric part of the sheath and used the straps elsewhere..Sheath is amazing...I made some little pockets on sheath with bicycle inner tube and now it holds a suture kit, Fish hooks, Bank line, some bandage material and some duct tape...10 out of 10 great knife..BUY IT!

Just took my new LMF ASEK into the field for a trial run and I was extremely happy with the performance of this knife. The knife is extremely well balanced and the edge is well suited for multiple tasks; chopping limbs, making delicate shavings for firestarters, to batoning and splitting logs. It has a high quality sheath, which can be tied securely. Another great feature is the holes drilled into the handle, making a spearhead if needed. This knife is simply awesome! Only complaint is the butt, which I understand is for breaking plexiglass, however in the wildness doesn't serve much purpose, a blunted end for hammering would be much more useful. However, this knife was made for military uses, so I guess the glass breaking end makes sense.

For years I've been holding off on purchasing a good combat knife. KABAR's, and SOG's had caught my attention from time to time, but never had enough catch to really grab the gold from my paycheck. However, a random stop in a shopping mall cutlery landed me face to face with the LMF Infantry model, the most modest and base model of the line, but it looked solid. Now as with any tool I buy if it fits my hand, and I am assured by just the brief moment of holding it that it will not be going anywhere but where I will it, I usually buy it. The LMF was no exception, this knife has THE BEST grip in a knife I have ever grasped outside of a custom manufacture. The weight is ideal, its not a knife for spinning about and looking nifty, it has a purpose at each end. I used to swear by the SOG SEAL knives, hailed them as the end all marvels of combat knives, but I have to admit with my last few characters of type, that the LMF from Gerber is the last combat knife you'll ever need.
