## Description

Great Product

Review: Solid A+ no-nonsense military stabby tool - First off, this is a beater. It's solidly a general service utility / combat / bayonet "knife" for the military. It's covered in gun oil / grease that almost smells like cosmoline when you get it -- it's not a "blotchy" paint job like one 1-* "reviewer" stated. Probably good he sent it back, because if you cannot tell a difference between blotchy paint and gun oil / grease... you got to stick to picking up mushrooms. 'nuff said. Next, the blade will not be razor sharp from the factory, because it's a hybrid cold weapon intended to function for three tasks: 1) as a utility knife, 2) as a combat knife, and 3) as a bayonet attached to the StG77 automatic rifle. This is a tool to be used hard, not admired on a shelf. So, yes, with hybrids you'll NEVER get ALL of the intended functions on a PERFECT level, but I dare to say this blade pulls off all of them rather commendably. The sheath? I love it. I have my old unit's knife that beats the snot out of this knife as a combat, utility, and survival knife, but it also certainly costs five+ times as much as this one. I do appreciate that my service knife comes out of its leather sheath silently, though... so you don't hear it, but you actually *feel* it coming out. This one isn't 100% silent, but this sheath isn't too shabby when you practice how to use it properly and one-handed. If you cannot figure this out then stick to picking up mushrooms... I dare to say that Glock made a perfect product for its intended purposes and, especially, for the price. This is a slam dunk for any rank and file infantryman or a civilian; extremely versatile, durable, and budget friendly. The latter gets you into mil contracts. Oh, the surface treatment comes off when you actually use it? Big deal. It's a carbon steel blade and the treatment is to subdue the glare of bare steel, not to make it rust proof. It comes covered in gun oil / grease for a reason and you'll have to treat it with oil / grease periodically or it'll rust. That's the trade off for having a carbon steel blade in general, but it'll also take a bunch of punishment blade-wise and hold an edge. Speaking of edge, this is a hard blade, so it's not as easy / quick to sharpen as some fake steel "blades", but it'll hold pretty nicely under quite a bit of use if you need more sharpness than what it comes with. Let's say it's not a scalpel (cause it's not supposed to be), but it's not dull one either. It's long and nimble enough for some decent knife work and have plenty of edge to get the job done. Also, the thickness of the blade is very adequate should you need to penetrate an object with a considerable force (yeah, after all, this is designed to work as a bayonet, too!). If you leave behind the wants to have the best blade in the world for $30 shipped, you'll be quite satisfied with what Glock provides you. If you have delusions that you'll get a custom combat knife of a specialized unit soldiers for that much money, you need to talk to somebody rather than a blade...
Review: Must HAVE!! - It came pretty quickly and I’ve had it for about two weeks now. It’s just as I heard it was very tough high quality spring steel. Edge hold: after plenty of stress testing it will hold its edge after contact with another piece of steel or metal! The grip is great the blade thickness is impressive the overall design is really great and it even has a bayonet feature for my military buffs overall it is a great and reliable choice for edc and it’s really really greatly priced for the quality you are receiving and I will highly recommend this over and over again if you’re looking for a good quality product at a great price or just want to add to your collection!!! And it’s a GLOCK PRODUCT!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Since glock is made in austria, is the knife as well? or is it made in china like most cheap and dissapointing knives?**
A: As a supplier to the Austrian military, Gaston Glock was making knives, shovels and ammo cans in Austria well before he made 16 prototype handguns and a 17th production model (Glock 17).  I have hard used my Glock field knife by sticking it in things you shouldn't and cutting anything in front of me.  I gave the one I purchased recently as a gift to a heavy machine mechanic.  He actually uses his harder than I have used mine.  I would compare the Glock durability to a Cold Steel product.  The fit and finish of the Glock knife is extremely utilitarian (like the pistols).  While it will not win a beauty competition it will serve you very well.  (P.S.  The shovels are even better!).

**Q: Does this knife come with a matching Glock polymer sheath?**
A: Yes, it did. The sheath holds the knife very securely. I think you will be very happy with this knife, I really like mine, like all things Glock, it is well made.

**Q: Can the knife be turned around in the sheath for left hand carry? thanks!**
A: The knife can be either right or left hand and the sheath can be worn on either side of the body.

**Q: Is the blade metal continous through the handle?**
A: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/958362-Glock-Model-81-Field-Knife-ReviewWith the uses described, it must have a metal tang inside the polymer handle clear to the pommel.  Otherwise you could not do the prying and twisting,described.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A big trusty knife for field work
*by D***T on March 25, 2026*

Impeccable blade, lasts basically forever and holds a useable edge a long time. Main edge sharpens easily with my pocket sharpener and a little downtime. Once you get the knack for the release this thing is quick to draw but won't fall out. Bottle opener is a fun addition. You can also learn to throw this and it has decent heft. Easy to grip handle and thick enough blade to handle using as an axe in a pinch. Balance favors near the middle of the blade so it will lean out of your hand if you don't hold on. I love using this thing for all-purpose cutting, whittling, roots when I'm digging, fetching small branches and tinders, getting bark off, or even scraping mud off my boots. Next, I have to learn to balance the tip on my finger like Bayou Billy.
