Comments on: The Gerber LMF II Series http://72hoursurvival.com/gerberfixed/ Survival Gear Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:50:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: caddotx http://72hoursurvival.com/gerberfixed/comment-page-1/#comment-134 caddotx Fri, 05 Feb 2010 01:57:45 +0000 http://72hoursurvival.com/?p=307#comment-134 Hey Jordi, To be honest I don't have a good answer for you on the straps. My personal LMF II came with four total straps sewed onto the sheath. One over the sharpener, one at the top of the scabbard, and two holding the handle. I'll see if I can find out anything about that. As to your question on the blade steel, there are many schools of thought out there on which is better. In my opinion the 440c, 420hc, and 12c27 steels all perform about the same with a proper heat treat. Each has subtle differences such as, the 420hc is a better steel around salt water. Hope this Helps! Hey Jordi,

All of these versions came with 2 wide, rubber gripped, leg straps though. Does it have to do with when the knife was made? How do the 440A, 420HC, and 12C27 blades compare? Thanks a lot.

Look for my post with all the specifics coming in the next few days. (It's a much longer answer and some great info.) The only way to surely know which steel your LMF II is made from is by checking the original packaging. That's the straight scoop from my contact at Gerber.

I just bought a LMF ii. How do I know when it is produced? Because as I calculate the timeline, mine could very well be produced within the Jan 08 to Apr 08 period when they changed the steel. Thank you. Hi guys,
