The Beast: Gerber LMF II ASEK knife

This is the day I bought it, before taking it in to the field for SERE.
I purchased this knive several years ago before going through survival school.  It was a definite upgrade to the issued bolt knife (Covered in a different post), and it's pretty much indestructible.



It's manufactured in Portland, Oregon by Gerber Legendary Knives out of 420HC (High carbon) Stainless Steel.  It weighs a few ounces shy of a pound, but it's a tank.  I've broken several knives with normal to heavy use, and this one isn't one.  Can't imagine it being broken easily.








I've never used the sharpener in the sheath, but it's neat feature.  Comes with leg straps and a seatbelt cutter. Broke the cutter, lost the leg straps.  Knife is worth the price alone though.

    Hi InvictusDecretum, how do you find the LMF ASEK Knife in contrast to the new Gerber Myth Knife? Although it perhaps doesn't have the same whoompf I think it looks a pretty sturdy hunting knife still?

    Anyone know how much it's worth?
