I actually *found* my Gerber LMF II in a metal scrapyard after it got run over by a tractor. It was still intact and pretty sharp, if that gives you an idea of how tough the knife is. Why anyone would throw this knife away, I don't know, but I reclaimed it from the scrap pile, sharpened it, and oiled it, and I have been very happy with the knife. It is indeed tough enough to cut through thin metal, and it will easily saw through aluminum cans, though sheet metal is harder. The pointed pommel is great for breaking and hammering stuff. The blade can be easily sharpened and is an excellent cutting tool once it has been. The built-in-sheath sharpener works to put an edge on the blade, though a proper whetstone will give it a better edge; the former is more for survival situations. The LMF II is very durable and I have used it as a wedge to baton wood, striking it hard with a hammer without more than aesthetic damage. The holes and grooves on the handle do allow it to be tied to the end of a stick to make a spear, though unless you needed to hunt boars after getting lost in the wilderness, turning your knife into a spearhead would take away the tool for other things. My only major complaint is that the handle material, while comfortable, will cut, chip, and scar easily when dropped onto gravel, or struck wrong with a rock or hammer. However, this does not affect the integrity of the actual tool, which being full tang, will still work if the rubber handle cover is completely gone. CONCLUSION: very few people here will require the LMF II for an actual aircraft egress, but it's a great tool for many, many other jobs and a very good value overall.Read full review
