It's not my cup of tea, but you're not alone in liking the LMF II. Many campers, hikers, military folks, et al. like it just fine. Instead of generalities, though, you should be specific about what you do with your LMF and tell some stories and provide some pics to extoll its virtues.The Gerber LMF II is the most underrated survival knife of all-time, so unappreciated and so misunderstood. I think a lot of people really fell in love with the Gerber Strongarm, and rightfully so, but the versatility of the LMF II should not be overlooked. Many people argue that the LMF II evolved into the Gerber Prodigy and then the Gerber Strongarm, but I like all 3 of these knives, and I think they are all terrific in their own way. I will say that the LMF II is bulkier to carry with the sheath the way that it is, but any reasonable survivalist can see that the pros of the LMF II far outweigh the cons. My favorite in terms of the knife itself is the LMF II, then the Strongarm and then the Prodigy, but I really like all three.
FWIW, you ought to know that Gerber knives in general rate pretty poorly amongst the regular denizens of BFC.
