Fixed Blade Knives Descriptions
Gerber LMF II
The LMF II Infantry is a survival knife that has been field tested by the troops and designed with the help of Jeff Freeman. The LMF II is designed to take on any task you come across in Combat and survival situations. The non-reflective black finished 420HC stainless steel blade is partially serrated for maximum utility. The full-tang handle is glass-filled nylon with a TPV overmold that helps minimize blisters and general shock from pounding of the butt end breaker. Smart design includes lashing holes and handle grooves for use as a spear.The included sheath has Buckled ballistic nylon straps that are fire retardant coated MOLLE compatible design. The plastic sheath includes an integrated knife sharpener so you're never left with a dull edge.
Kershaw Launch 6
This slim—and ever-so-slightly wicked-looking—knife features premium CPM154 blade steel. This powdered metallurgy steel offers more uniform distribution of carbides so it takes and holds an excellent edge. The Kershaw 7800 Launch 6 automatic opening pocket knife also provides good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and toughness. Black DLC coating adds non-reflectivity and enhances performance.
