Glock ?!?!?! ... That's right, the firearms maker also produces a fixed blade knife. Actually, 2 models of the fixed blade knife. Model 78 (made since 1978 I think) does not have the "root saw" on the spine like this Model 81 does (made since 1981 I think).
Made of spring steel and the same polymer material Glock uses in their firearms, this is a sturdy budget knife coming in at just under $40. A bargain. Out of the box, the Glock Field Knife is ready to go to work but the edge could easily be further refined.
I haven't tried it, but one side of the finger guard is said to work as a bottle opener. There is a plug in the end of the handle and the handle is hollow to a certain depth. The plug is difficult to remove and is generally mangled when trying to do so. Never the less, the hollow area could be used as a storage for small items or the plug removed entirely and a steel bolt inserted to function as a hammer.
The actual Glock function of the hollow handle area is so this knife attaches to some European military and tactical rifles as a bayonet. The ONLY bayonet fitted rifle I have is a Mosin Nagant M1891(M91). Mine left the arsenal 126yrs ago in 1895. Fires 7.62x54r rounds and mine still works fine for those days when I really need the kick of a mule. Anyway ... I used it in this post as a prop to compare bayonets and as background scenery.
There are many videos on youtube of this Glock Field Knife if interested. Everything from reviews and use ideas, to destruction videos. The general fare for a fixed blade knife.
Conclusion: Glock Field Knife ... recommend for general utility work around the home and yard and for some bush crafts. Comes in black, grey, earth tone and green.
