Vintage Gerber 5957 LMF Tactical fixed blade

[kwakster]

Vintage Gerber LMF Tactical fixed blade with black Cordura sheath.
This is the original LMF (Light Multi Function) from the 1980's - 1990's, and it has a stainless guard and Hypalon handle with a flat steel butt end intended to be pounded on.
Made in the USA, serial number 044222 and comes in the original black and blue box.
Gerber item number is 5957.
A very stout & well made knife that was sadly discontinued in 1999 and replaced with the much cheaper LMF II model.

The black Cordura sheath comes complete with a belt loop and leg strap assembly.
A unique accessory strap on the front of the sheath allows a folding knife sheath, survival, or other equipment to be attached.
ALICE clips allow the LMF to be attached to standard issue military battle dress and harnesses.
The LMF can be tied down to the leg or lashed to other equipment with nylon cord supplied with each sheath.

Comes from a display collection and is like new: never carried, never used, never resharpened.
