Super excited just ordered up a new fixed blade from amazon:

I watched a 10 part destruction test of this knife on youtube and it held its own quite nicely... although I dont know when I'll really need to cut concrete with it....

btw I didn't pay that much for it, it was only $65 on amazon conveniently.

Nice. Decided to post the picture here for you. And the description:

LMF™ II

Infantry

Down behind enemy lines? Left to fend for yourself? These are the scenarios that inspired the LMF II. Former military man, Jeff Freeman led the charge to engineer this fearless new 10" survival knife. And we field-tested with the troops.

This knife is as adaptable as the personnel who carry it. Use it to cut through the skin of a fuselage. Or sever a seat belt. Or egress through the Plexiglas of a chopper. Plus, the LMF II does a slick job cutting firewood and building shelter.

The over-molded handle successfully limits blistering. There is complete separation between the tang and butt cap, so the knife absorbs the shocks from hammering and prevents the shocks of electricity. Smartly situated grooves and lashing holes let the LMF II convert to a spear. The low-profile sheath facilitates movement, limits noise, works for parachuting, and attaches to a belt or Molle vest. The patented, integrated sharpener means edge retention in the field.

Looks like a cool knife. I dont particularly care for serrated blades though.



ETA: RB what is the other approved knife.

Looked at that one too, but that one was way out of my price range.

Here's the links to the destruction test that some guy did if anybody is interested, it's a 7 part series, pretty impressive:
