I’m sure you all now how important it is to have a great knife when surviving in the wilderness. A knife is probably the single most important piece of equipment you can have with you during a crisis. I am a bit of a knife “nut” and so I am always on the lookout for a better, stronger, sharper knife. Someday I’d like to own myself a Bussey Knife but at several hundred dollars a piece, that’s a bit out of my budget at the moment. So the search continues for an affordable yet effective survival knife. The perfect knife is not so big you’ll take off your arm, and not so small it’s useless. In the end I’ve settled on the Gerber LMF II Infantry Knife. Read why after the jump:
From Amazon.com:
The Gerber 22-01629 LMF II Infantry Knife is as adaptable as the personnel who carry it. The partially serrated, 3-3/4 inch blade is can be used to cut through the skin of a fuselage, sever a seat belt, or egress through the Plexiglas of a chopper. This infantry knife also does a slick job cutting firewood and building shelter and can even be lashed to a pole to create a spear. On the end of the knife is a flat spot strong enough to drive a nail. This rugged and versatile survival tool features a high carbon stainless blade with shielded black surface. The handle is constructed with glass-filled nylon. The knife fits in a Molle-attachable sheath. The LMF II comes with Gerber’s limited lifetime warranty.
