@ForTheFutureOfMusic Ok but can you throw a KABAR into a fire for an hour and pull it out and still have it look the same way before? Can you leave a KABAR in seawater for 2 weeks and take it out and not be corroded? Is a KABAR full tang? Did the KABAR when the competition of the best knife put on by the Naval Special Warfare Center? Is the KABAR used by Navy SEALs? Talk to me when you know what the fuck your talking about.
@KIngAragorn100 Jesus fuck man. The new KA-BAR with a Kraton G handle does stand up against corrosion. Why would you keep your knife in fucking seawater for 2 weeks if you need it? The KA-BAR is full tang, holds an edge longer and is a lot more trustworthy. YOU talk to me when you know what the fuck you're talking about. Why has the KA-BAR been around for 70 years? Why did it serve as the standard issue knife of the US military? Why does KA-BAR make knives for the USMC, navy and the army?
@ForTheFutureOfMusic LOL Ok putting the knife inside seawater was part of the test. how do you even know the SOG knives don't hold a longer edge? Like I said before it also depends on what knife you use. Go on YouTube and type in SOG SEAL Team Elite and look at all the good reviews that knife has then some tell me how the KABAR is better. Also so what if its been around for 70 years who gives a shit. Does that make it better in any way? NO, And yes it WAS the standard issue knife in Vietnam.
@KIngAragorn100 I own a fucking SOG seal team elite & I own 3 KA-BARS. I've used them in the wilderness and the SOG doesn't perform anywhere near as good as the KA-BAR at least with me.
@ForTheFutureOfMusic As i thought you have no life and how am I supposed to believe that shit. I could also say that im a Navy SEAL who's killed someone with my SEAL Team elite knife would you believe me? probably not so what makes you think im going to believe you?
@KIngAragorn100 Because you're a fucking 12 year old dumb ass who has never been in the wilderness before. And you're not a Navy Seal, they're not allowed to tell they're are, unless you want to go to court. Want to motherfucker?
@ForTheFutureOfMusic Is the KABAR issued to Navy SEALs? NO, Is the KABAR issued to Green Berets? NO Is it the most widely used knife by the military? NO Is it torch resistant? NO The SOG knives are issued to the elite military units not the lower ones because the elite units have the better equipment. I'm done arguing with you so if you have a life and doesn't care so much then you won't comment again, if you don't have a life you will.
@KIngAragorn100 The Cold Steel SRK knife or whatever it was is issued to the US Navy Seals in BUDS. Navy Seals use the SOG too but does it mean anything? No. How about the KA-BAR which is used by tens of millions of people, has killed hundreds of thousands of enemies, has opened millions of rations and dug thousands of trenches and foxholes and the design has been around for 70 yrs. Does that mean anything? Yes. The Navy Seals probably hardly use their knife. I wouldn't trust a SOG.
5:50 you mention that there is an inconstancy when doing a test in succession one after another. That is the mark of a true scientist to identify your own variables. Even the guys on myth-busters don't recognize (or at least acknowledge) the fact that you just stated
@DrTadHusseinWinslow Just by that comment I believe that your very own opinion Is fecal matter. Thank your for showing us that, as we all know now that your opinion shouldnt even be considered when it comes to knives. Gerber makes some awesome products
Thank you for revealing your credibility level to us within the first 30 seconds by saying that a Gerber product is awesome - saved us from having to watch any further. Anything Gerber in the last 10-15 years is pure fecal matter. Get real.
@DrTadHusseinWinslow And thank you for revealing your credibility by writing a rediculous comment like this. To make such a broad statement saying that anything with the gerber name on it is fecal matter is beyond stupid, and proves that you have never handled Gerber knives or any knife for that matter. The US military would not have approved the LMF II for use as an ASEK knife if it was "fecal matter". Have a nice day
@DrTadHusseinWinslow Show me any knife that is better for the cost compared to the equivalent Gerber blade. Gerber has more value to their shit than ANY other company I have come across. Probably less than .05% of knife buyers will actually ever need anything more than a Gerber can provide.
@DrTadHusseinWinslow I have a buddy who took a gerber LMF2 with him to Afghanistan to search for mines and IED's. Served him well, by saving his life. Also noteworthy that in an IED blast he was unfortunate enough to be in, his M4 was disabled but his gerber was fully intact. I think you should put something to the test before you knock it!
@DrTadHusseinWinslow Wow... thanks for showing everyone watching this video how little you know in less than 50 words...I own a couple of Gerber knives and they're well built and of great quality. If you don't want to spend $200 plus on a knife then the LMF2 is the next best thing if not right on par with $200 plus knives. Only downside I see with it is the length- makes chopping very difficult.
@DrTadHusseinWinslow Yeah, you're right dude. Now instead of having to watch 30 seconds, I just read you comment and stopped the video. Gerber = worst garbage ever manufactured.
I like how you make a point to show the difference between a field knife and fighting knife. A great fighting knife isn't the best idea for survival and the best survival knife isn't the best for fighting. But if it's all you have it's the best option.
i bought a bk2 based off your reviews and analysis and i love it. my srk was my favorite until i got a hold of the bk2. thanks man you make excellent videos.
why would someone do a test in a non-realistic situation? whacking 2x4s is nice, but says nothing useful for real world situations. All you learn here is that 2x4s dont exist in the woods.
dont waste your money on a gerber they suck! worst knife i ever had. wasnt sharp out of the box ,never ever was sharp. i tried, ark stones diamond, ceramic, my Lansky etc. I finally asked a cutlery guy that had a sharpening service and he said he never works on gerbers because they cant take an edge let alone keep one. "legendary blades " indeed! Buy a mora and drive on .
hey adam i was wondering if you could test out the ka-bar warthog. not the older version but the re-released 2011 model. im stuck between the bk2 and the warthog and i havent seen a good test/review on it because its a new knife. so i would greatly appreciate it id you could find time to test it.
I had the Gerber LMF2 and it broke at the first serration while battoning in 40 degree weather. I lost my trust in Gerber and will never carry another. Now I carry mostly a Mora or Condor. I am looking for a good chopper. Thanks for the video.
pressure treated wood is wood that is impregnated with termiticide guys.......BEWARE, I would also head the advice given by xmoroseguyx, better safe then poisened, uuh formaldehyde. That is so toxic it could never obtain registration as a pesticdide. Adam, that was very insightful advice, Thank You
I believe pressure treated wood is OK to burn, It`s chipboard, MDF and the like you want to avoid, Because they have formaldehyde in the glues, Which release a toxic smoke when burned, As with the knives, None of the handles look particularly comfortable during long use, Especially given the relative large size of the blades
i will always, and forever.. use my origional 1st generation Boy Scouts Of America survival knife. the only knife i ever have used and ever will use for survival
You know, tonto style knives work suprisingly well as choppers I have a ZT 0400st and I chop through 3 inch diameter pine trees no problem. And that's a folding blade!
I like your reviews they are straight up, honest and down earth. Easy to understand what you are showing and teaching. The only gripe I have is that it would be nice if you would add some links on your partitioned videos, to have an easy path from part one to part two, part two to part three, and so on. I know the next video can be found on the youtube side bar, but not always. Thanks for the great reviews and survival lessons.
Maybe its just me but I thought a knif was made to but meats and skinning,cutting string.but tell me why would one want to use a great knif to chop wood.If you want to chop wood buy a axs
The best knife i've ever owned and have had since 1985 and 4 tours of iraq and 1 tour in afganistan is a Robert Parrish i bought from Ranger Joes in Columbus Ga.
what are the ruls in the us for carrying a knife like this, is it ok if your in the forests i guess but not the streets, and how can one determine a safezone for wearing it if there are areas??
@Equip2Endure Like your videos and hats off to you for educating people. My only gripe is with a knife test for survival, try digging with them as well. In Oz ,some food is located below plants and shrubs so a digging test would be helpfull. Also a point/tip test for digging grubs and seperating tree bark would be good too.
@Equip2Endure I've seen your video about the bear grylls knife and i have heard mere people say its shit but how does this gerber identical to the BG hold up is it a thru metal handle or not?
@thewulf7 Nobody can accuratly answer your question. Every state has its own laws pertaining to knives. In fact laws can vary from township to township, and from county to county. Most of the time you will find someone saying something along the lines on "If the blade is the width of your palm its legal" that's purely bullshit. I would say literally Google the knife laws for your particular state
@thewulf7 Individual states vary with laws about knives, my advice is check within your state. Do not assume you can carry an 8 inch blade survival knife on your hip.
bk all the way jst got mine in the mail, took it up to windsor lake caught a trout, gave it a wack, and had it cleaned about 15 seconds after pulling it outa the water. it was poring rain out so i took the bk2 and split a bit of wood to get the dry stuff inside, and tossed the fish on the coals hell yeah its a nice knife, perfect size for a mans hand, its a real tool! like me!

The one thing I don't understand is the current trend of wanting a "do it all" knife. I mean, I understand you want it to do about anything well just in case it is the only tool you have, I get that. But what serious camper takes only one tool? Why use a $200 knife as a pry bar when you could use a $20 pry bar? Why use a $200 knife as an axe when you can use a $20 camp axe? Do we not already carry these other tools?
If you actually plan on using the knife on a regular basis to chop then all of those knifes are on the smaller side for the specific task of chopping.
The Cold Steel San Mai III Gurkha Kukri seems to be the standard by which all other choppers should be measured. However its 22oz's are great for chopping but not so great for backpacking. And the price is well... you get what you pay for...
But I agree with your opinion of the LMF II, great knife for the price.
I have the gerber lmf 2...so far i like it. I used to chop wood for the bonfires me and some friends have at a park. Does an awesome job, though i wish i knew to sharpen knives better :P
@thechoreographer , it's an inexpensive platform to establish consistent results throughout the course of the Knife Test Series. Oak is a great idea, but most of the pine board I have used were free, I hate to spend money on lumber that could have gone towards future gear purchase. Thank's for the suggestion.
@ma7t93 , what don't you like about the Gerber LMF2? It's not bad for a blade you can pick up for around $60.00. My Lieutenant got back from Iraq about a year ago, I let him borrow mine over there and he stated it served him well. No issues.
@Equip2Endure they are mass hopper-fed produced with little attention to detail on grind, edge and tang setting. use of a plastic spacer to snug the tang into the grip, which will crack with any decent hacking use.... for some reason Gerber still has not gotten the message about 50/50 blades, all or nothing. i delt through rocky national, had a slight bend in the tang at the hilt, sent it back, received a new blade with the exact same issue, sent it back and spoke to matt...
@ma7t93 , your right, I did have some cracking of the plastic that held the blade from batonning. This is the first I've heard about the bend in the tang. Thanks for the info.
the reason the handle is constructed that way was should you find your self cutting though a wire or sheet metal that had an electric current passing through it you wouldn't fry.
the reason the handle is constructed that way was should you find your self cutting though a wire or sheet metal that had an electric current passing through it you wouldn't fry.
@Equip2Endure my buddy got the LMF2 in coyote brown as an early Christmas present, he loves it, and i believe it's great, but i already have the Ontario sp2, but i also wanted another good camp/survival knife. i just wanted to ask is this knife full tang? and have you had any issues other than handle cracking? dude, nice vid btw :)

@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

@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
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

@Equip2Endure Like your videos and hats off to you for educating people. My only gripe is with a knife test for survival, try digging with them as well. In Oz ,some food is located below plants and shrubs so a digging test would be helpfull. Also a point/tip test for digging grubs and seperating tree bark would be good too.
Cheers.

@Equip2Endure I've seen your video about the bear grylls knife and i have heard mere people say its shit but how does this gerber identical to the BG hold up is it a thru metal handle or not?

@thewulf7 Nobody can accuratly answer your question. Every state has its own laws pertaining to knives. In fact laws can vary from township to township, and from county to county. Most of the time you will find someone saying something along the lines on "If the blade is the width of your palm its legal" that's purely bullshit. I would say literally Google the knife laws for your particular state

@thewulf7 Individual states vary with laws about knives, my advice is check within your state. Do not assume you can carry an 8 inch blade survival knife on your hip.

The one thing I don't understand is the current trend of wanting a "do it all" knife. I mean, I understand you want it to do about anything well just in case it is the only tool you have, I get that. But what serious camper takes only one tool? Why use a $200 knife as a pry bar when you could use a $20 pry bar? Why use a $200 knife as an axe when you can use a $20 camp axe? Do we not already carry these other tools?

If you actually plan on using the knife on a regular basis to chop then all of those knifes are on the smaller side for the specific task of chopping.
The Cold Steel San Mai III Gurkha Kukri seems to be the standard by which all other choppers should be measured. However its 22oz's are great for chopping but not so great for backpacking. And the price is well... you get what you pay for...
But I agree with your opinion of the LMF II, great knife for the price.

Is there a reason that a pine board is used to do a cut test? To me it seem kind of a weak wood for a knife test. Why not use a harder wood like oak?
thechoreographer 1 year ago
@thechoreographer , it's an inexpensive platform to establish consistent results throughout the course of the Knife Test Series. Oak is a great idea, but most of the pine board I have used were free, I hate to spend money on lumber that could have gone towards future gear purchase. Thank's for the suggestion.

@ma7t93 , what don't you like about the Gerber LMF2? It's not bad for a blade you can pick up for around $60.00. My Lieutenant got back from Iraq about a year ago, I let him borrow mine over there and he stated it served him well. No issues.

@Equip2Endure they are mass hopper-fed produced with little attention to detail on grind, edge and tang setting. use of a plastic spacer to snug the tang into the grip, which will crack with any decent hacking use.... for some reason Gerber still has not gotten the message about 50/50 blades, all or nothing. i delt through rocky national, had a slight bend in the tang at the hilt, sent it back, received a new blade with the exact same issue, sent it back and spoke to matt...
ma7t93 1 year ago
@ma7t93 , your right, I did have some cracking of the plastic that held the blade from batonning. This is the first I've heard about the bend in the tang. Thanks for the info.

the reason the handle is constructed that way was should you find your self cutting though a wire or sheet metal that had an electric current passing through it you wouldn't fry.

@Equip2Endure my buddy got the LMF2 in coyote brown as an early Christmas present, he loves it, and i believe it's great, but i already have the Ontario sp2, but i also wanted another good camp/survival knife. i just wanted to ask is this knife full tang? and have you had any issues other than handle cracking? dude, nice vid btw :)

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
