Ive had this Glock Field Knife for a long time. The GLOCK knives are cheap and tough - a great combination. I like them - they work.
They might not win a beauty contest, but they sure do work.
I asked a buddy of mine to install a glass breaker in the pommel/hollow handle compartment of the Glock knife.
I would have been perfectly satisfied with a simple construction i.e. a pointy press fitted steel thingy, but (as usual) he went all out.
The hollow tube/handle of the knife was threaded and a stainless steel plug could now be screwed into the hollow compartment (insert/plug can be removed)
But wait, there is more!
My buddy installed a tungsten core into the stainless steel plug.
Would it work, I hear you ask?
Ohhhh boy, did it work!!
We had a big chunk of tempered glass window.
I aimed for a corner and lightly - lightly - tapped the tempered glass with the tungsten core insert.
Presto! The glass didnt just fall apart - it EXPLODED!
The GLOCK knife with the tungsten core is spectacularly efficient.
Why do this?
Well, it might come in handy if your work vehicle turns over on uneven terrain and one is trapped ... or something in that vein.
Mostly we just did it, because we could.
Please disregard the motorcycle gear glimpsed in the above - we had earlier had the bikes out.
All properly supervised by Sara, who does NOT care much for any motorcycle racket nor the fact, that she never goes along, when ever bikes are cranked up.
She bites the bikes, barks and looks at you stubbornly, as if the mere starting of bikes is an insult:
