So, your saying there's a chance?If folks post something to him expecting a reply then they will have a long wait.

There's always a chance. That's why Hunter keeps the light on for Ruth.
I have an original LMF, serial number 010303. Matt silver metal finish with a black Krayton rubber (?) handle grip. I think that I bought it in South Africa where I was living at the time. It has the straight edge and no sawback. The sheath is the original in black, military style with multiple options for putting on a belt, including a metal quick clip designed for military belts of the early '80s, also has the black cord at the bottom for tying to a leg, and the mini accessory strap with 2 brass press studs around the body of the sheath. Not sure how to attach photos as new to using forums.
For Oklahoma Cowboy on post page 3 - My LMF has the same handle but with the flat back blade. My sheath looks the same, but I was able to catch the corrosion before it became this bad.

I just read your post and are you still looking for serial numbers and photos of the BMF. In have a BMF I bought new in the 80's I know you posted this March 2012 and maybe you've completed your research
Daniel hasn't been around for some time........but judging by the first posters that show up , seems this is popping up, when the question is asked.
Hopefully y'all's input will help some one out.

Hello all,
This is my first post on the forum and I'm afraid it is to deliver terrible news.
While attempting to contact Daniel and add my knife info to his database, I inadvertently reached his son. The reason Daniel has not been on the forum lately is that he passed last summer after losing a battle with pancreatic cancer. His son asked me to convey this information to the forum members. He also asked me to tell everyone that they are at a loss at this time as to what to with Daniel's work and would welcome any suggestions.
Again I am sorry that I have to deliver this news to you all. According to his post, and the replies to them that I have read, he seemed like a friendly and well respected member here.

Errol.....
Welcome to the forum....and thanks for a heads up.
Actually a member that joined back in December....Spooky Ol' Joe....did drop by and past on that information.
Only stuck around for a few days....?
Did some business with Daniel and enjoyed his posts....and is missed.
Again, Thanks for the news....most f the time people don't take the time to cover those basses.

Hello to all. I am trying to find pictures of all 6 BMF blade profiles like the ones previously found on page 3 of this post. I used to have em but they were lost in the cloud.
If anyone has a copy of those two pics or any other pics displaying all 6 profiles I would very much appreciate if you could re post for me.
Fingers crossed. Thanks in advance.
I guess Daniel will be remembered for this thread......
Did a search on BMF blade profiles on Google images....Daniels avatar shows up a refers back to this thread.
Kinda fitting.

First post new member, i own several Gerber knives, i have a gerber BMF serial 009797, plain non-serrated blade, blade appears to measure 7 3/4 ", overall 13 1/2". It has silva startercompass, alice attachment clips, mine has no gerber tag.
Trying to find any info about year of manufacture, etc
Thanks for any info
I see that NIGHTEYES was doing research on Gerber BMFs. I have had one for quite a while. It has been very well traveled doing what it was originally designed to do AND I owe it considerably. Serial #040233. It has the sawback and even though it has been used on "softer material" several times there isn't a mark on it. For what it means to me personally it WILL be in my casket. ONE HELL OF A PARTNER.
