I have been an avid glocker for years now, as far as their pistosl are concerned. However, I have never owned one of their knives... Can someone tell me if their knives are of good or high quality... I was wondering if what they used in their blades was as tough as they say.
 
I got one.Nothing to brag about but for the money it makes a good beater or knock around knife if you dont want to mess up a good knife:)
 
Glock pistols are great. I have one of their knives and agree with dogpound2; not bad for $30.
 
Good knife and great sheath. Best modified bayonet for outdoor use out there - but that's the sticking point, :D , it's a modified bayonet, not a great camping chopper. If your tasks don't involve a lot of woodsmanship or a good cutting edge, go for it. If you need to cut kindling, baton, scrape, shave, or even dig in the dirt, a modern camp bowie will offer more.

so essentially, it is a combat tool and not a camper.
 
i would say for combat:) can be used for camping but so much better out there than that but for 30 dollars give it a try one time!might surprise your taste buds
 
Awesome pistols, I own a 21. The knives are good beaters, but the tip leaves much to be desired. Both of the ones I've had have had no tip at all. I know it is a modifed bayonet, but the M9 bayonet I have at least had a tip on it. I keep my glock field knife in the truck for a "if needed" kind of thing.
 
It is a very thick knife :I holds almost no edge and the steel is very soft (I believe it was 54 Rockwell ). But is great for throwing, smacking, prying etc.
you can even use it to get to the next branch if you are climbing a three (it will hold my 100+ kg without breaking or bending). It is a good and affordable tool which looks like a knife ; don't try to slice a piece of paper with it.

have it for more than 10 years now
 
I'd like to see a simple, tough and reliable folder from Glock. Just like their pistol.
 
In essence, a blade with dimensions similar to the USGI M-7 bayonet.
With a stronger non-spear-pointed tip, which is great for prying and if you must - knife throwing.
If there is one thing that shines, it's got to be the sheathing system.
Moulded from a single block of Glock's thermo plastic; there's nothing that can't be broke, but this Glock product is tough as nails and I am willin' to state that this is probably the only sheath that hasn't any parts that would rust.
Only draw back is that it's a blade made from plain carbon steel; and every bit of its "raw (worn black finishing)" metal parts will rust if you don't take preventive measures to correct this situation.
As a combat knife it's all there, but a trail knife - it is not...
 
I might get one as a thrower. Any comments on performance in that department?

Mine has seen a few hundred tries and it is still in perfect shape...
It is heavy and it has a nice balance : excellent for throwing IMO
If you have a choice get the strait one, the teeth are a yoke for sawing purposes.
Dry and oil it after use to prevent rust.
 
You can bury it, freeze it, pour lye all over it, leave it out under a sprinkler for a week, throw it out of a plane and it'll do everything but cut.

When buying a pistol, buy a Glock. When buying a knife, get a Benchmade or a Spyderco.
