Glock 78 knife inquiry

[bdcochran]

It is well known that there is no current US distribution. However, the "knife" is supposed to be available through dealers in Poland and Greece.

My speculation is that there might be a distribution dispute which causes the knife not to be imported into the US although the "knife" is still in production in Austria.

Does anyone have actual factual information on:
1. whether the Austrian knife is still being produced;
2. whether (meaning you, and not your "friend") has a reputable Polish dealer who is selling the actual Glock 78 knife being produced in Austria.

When I read sale offers on brand name knives from Bulgaria or Russia and the knives are not produced in those countries, I know that they are scams.

Thank you in advance.

I took a chance and purchased a Glock 78 from an auction site dealer located in Poland in 2017. Went without a hitch, took maybe a week, but certainly less than 2 to arrive. This same dealer is still offering them today.

I bought one from a guy in Poland off of EB late last yr.

It didn't show up for over a month, filed a claim and got a refund from EB. It finally showed up 3 months later! Didn't want to stiff him so I messaged the guy and sent him the $ for it via Paypal.

It was a PITA but I wanted the 78 because I preferred the plain blade w/o the saw on the spine.

Paid about $58 (including shipping for mine) but looks like he's asking $116 (including $80 shipping) for them now and has actually sold 5 (at this time) at that price. So, the value of my 78 has apparently gone up 100% since I bought mine. LOL!

I bought them this week in Belgium. Actually several of the Glock FM 78's .
They are still in production. And I like them a lot. They were out of stock a while at that particular shop ( for whatever reason, something about the steel production). But now they were back.
There are plenty of webshops in Europe that sell them, the FM 78 and the FM 81.
