The first part of our test was successful, but stay tunned to part 2, to see which blade had a critical failure, and make sure you know what you want to take into the woods on your next trek.

lost all respect for liking the horrible lmf2
@Equip2Endure very true
@MrEhud77 , I have a few pair of Hatch Kevlar gloves for work, but a stick with the Mechanix on outdoor trips, cheaper if I drop one on the trail.

@KiiNgofTheCastle , lol!
@Equip2Endure Have you ever tried out the condor kevlar gloves? They’re expensive but I’m considering getting a pair for my kit since I will be purchasing a TBT T1 pretty soon

your vids are great could you put the price maybe????? idk just wonderin dont really matter plus what gloves are those??
Gerber all the way!!!
@Equip2Endure. Cool- can’t wait to see. You do a great job! If you ever need any pointers I’d love to help out. I’m a Graphic Designer and have had eqpierence with editing. It simply takes a lot of practice! I know you’ll get it eventually. Keep up the great vids- I just bought a LMF ii and cant wait to get outdoors with it. I know you have a lot to offer with your vids, and I can’t wait to learn- Thanks. -Garrett K
@SCIFIaction , thanks for the input. As the technology improves I hope so will the quality. Just picked up new HD camera and wireless microphone. Very excited!

Great review- just watch the edits. Fades make it difficult to follow, as the audio mixes and it sounds bad. no offense- great review though
i like the third one from the left
My Favorite Knife is the Gerber LMF 2^^
k idk y im wacthin this im juss bored lol
Gerber knife videos here on youtube – Gerber LMF II ASEK Destruction Test Part 1 to compliment your thoughts on this knife. Thanks for the great reviews!
i love the idea of having a lanyard to help control a knife. but i also think people should be very careful. if you lose you grip on the knife while swinging it, the lanyard could bring it around to hit you. ive never seen it happen with a knife, but one time, my friends dad got mad while playing wii, and went to throw the controller. he forgot it was attached to his wrist, and it came back to hit him in the nuts. imagine what that would feel like with a knife. OUCH!!!!!! lol

Th thickness of that Ka Bar Becker BK2 makes it a 5.5″ bundle of pure nastiness. And EZ, I have a cold steel bushman as well as a cold steel Kukri Machete and I love them both. I carry the Gerber Camp axe on my pack as well. I am not a fan of batoning, but if I had to, my first choice would be my re-profiled kukri machete. But man oh man do I love my BK2. Takes and holds a hell of an edge. The rounded belly in combination makes it easy to choke up on and dress/skin with.
They do have a cool design, have you ever used it as a spear? I know that’s one of the design functions. Thanks for the comment and let me know, take care,

Cold Steel Bushman, Had it 4 years, Best outdoor rough use knife I ever owned.
That’s great. Sorry to hear that you were having that problem. I really like my LMF 2, it’s a different animal than the BK-2 but still a great knife,
- Adam
@Equip2Endure I actually just got off the phone with them and it appears that i got the 1 in a zillion sheath that has that problem. Gerber said I can send it in and they’ll replace it which I will do but I probably won’t use it as much anyways now that I got my BK2…I’m in love with that knife
