This fixed blade knife is available from Cheaper than Dirt for under $30.00, plus shipping. It comes with a plastic belt sheath. Good knife ? Any idea what kind of steel ? Oh, and since I know little about steel ( I am learning a little about steel from this talk site) is it a good steel ? Thanks ! - Arnie
 
I used to have one a while back and thought they were real nice knives. Real tough and hold a descent edge. I don't know what the steel is but I thought it was comparable to 1095. Mine had the saw on the back and while it wasn't perfect it did work and the dust makes a nice tinder for fire starting.
 
Like Chris Rock says, "you can drive with your feet if ya want to, that doesn't mean its a good ****ing idea."
 
Yep...it's definitely not a bad knife for the price, and the hilt also makes a most excellent bottle opener :p
 
I agree that the knife is a great value. The construction is rock solid and the sheath system is great. IMHO, the only downside is that the blade ssems to have been designed more as a bayonet than knife. The narrow blade has a very steep grind that limits cutting ability. Makes for a very strong tough blade though.
 
Hi folks,
There is the official description for the Glock fieldknives.
--------------------------------------------------------
GLOCK knives were developed in close cooperation with the special forces (Rangers) of the Austrian Army. To achieve best performance and function, no compromises were made in the design, which is getting more approval with every year of service. The GLOCK Field Knife is furthermore perfectly balanced for throwing.
GLOCK Field Knives are best known for their outstanding ruggedness which offer a large range of applications - starting from a "First Aid" knife inside the car to a bone crushing knife for hunters. The cross bar protects the hand against injuries and can be used as thumb rest and as bottle-opener.
GLOCK knives are sturdy enough to break windows or ammunition boxes, requirements by Armed Forces among many others.Beside of the Austrian Army these multipurpose knives were adopted and are on duty today at various law enforcement agencies and famous special units all over the world.

I tryed it - It´s very good for throwing.
@arnie
The steel is no stain and it holds the edge very good.
Blade 17cm; with or without 9cm long saw on the bladeback. Black coated no-stain-springsteel.
 
For $30, get one. Quick. Just dont think you are going to get a super duper slicing machine. It's a great heavy duty field knife. I was able to get mine pretty sharp though. Also, it's not stainless, so you have to give it a little care.
 
There have been a number of prior threads on this knife, some of which discussed attempts to get steel data from Glock. If you do a search I'm sure you'll find a lot to read.

I have one and it strikes me as more of a stabbing weapon than a utility knife, but I've beaten mine up in the field and it restored easily.
 
It is an excellent knife tough as nails.

the down side is as a survival/camping/utility the blade is too thin for my tastes.

as a fighter it is excellent.

The design of the sheath is excellent while I was living in NYC I used to put the on upside down it was so rigid that it held and with the thumb release made it a fast draw.


for $30 it is a great knife only to thin for my practical needs
