Love them, we were issued With the 78 here in Austria. It is designed as a field knife (hence fm78 - feldmesser), not primarily a bayonet. The counterpart on the Steyr AUG was replaced by the forward grip. The circle logo with a triangle in it is the mark for the Austrian armed forces (bundesheer / ÖBH)
I really appreciate Austria 🇦🇹 and Germany 🇩🇪. For some reason Austrians and Germans just know how to engineer things really well. From Glock to Rotax engines, Austria 🇦🇹 is a king of engineering.
I have never seen anyone not be able to throw the Glock 81 and not stick it at least 90% of the time. It doesn't matter if it's thrown holding the blade or handle. You can throw it overhand, side arm, under hand, it's just awesome!!!
We had them on the belt as a field knife in the danish military, rock solid knife (we mostly used them for opening cans in a hurry) they feel much like a smaller k-bar in the hand . And the sheath is very sturdy too 👍
A true classic. Old fashioned term is a Combat Knife, and these are there to supply an army without costing too much. Soldiers will break anything, but these are reasonably soldier proof and cheap enough to replace. Perfect for cleaning out tank tracks, cutting tree roots when digging a trench, and urban abuse. Down side is they don't hold an edge long and will chip out with abuse. They don't snap but can bend when used as a crow bar. A real plus point is that they don't take up much space on webbing order, nor weight much. They pig stick well and similar length to a FS knife though not so fine. I like to throw them 1/2 spin. They last a good while though the tips will go pretty fast. Buy in bulk. Anyhow, I'm a fan, though much prefer the 78's. Good vid, thanks.
@@alfreducu1 Sorry nearly missed this. The saw teeth aren't very efficient, pretty useless. And just pick up dirt and filth. Keep your knife simple, and easy to clean. A better all round knife is a Terava 110.
One of my favorites... The cap is only on the field knife not the bayonet version. The tang and the tube lug do not touch, there are x-rays of this on one of the knife forums (forget which one). Counting by rings from the pommel of the knife: the tube extends to the 2nd ring, then solid plastic for 1 ring then the tang starts roughly under the G logo. From my understanding this was to meet a required electrical insulation rating. Those 2 holes on the side of the pommel are for a bail type lanyard ring. The bayonet only fits older AUGs with a post the tube on the knife slides into and a catch on the muzzle device that locks to the notch on guard's spine side arm (most newer AUGs have an adapter to use m16 lugs, or so I'm told)

I bought one of these as a PFC in the Marines used it on 3 deployments and still have it and use it for camping. This is the first time I have ever seen it as a bayonet had no idea, had it over 10 years I have owned it.
This is a great beater, tool knife. I got mine for $25 off Amazon a while back. The saw comes in handy for roots in the ground. I've used this knife for tightening wire for braces on cattle fence, used it as a pry bar, used it for splitting wood, used it for starting screw holes in treated wood post, and throwing. I noticed I like to throw it from the handle better than the blade. I'll throw in like a baseball pitch with a lot of force behind it. It definitely gets some penetration.
Love this channel. Just bought two for my brother and I. To me, its sharp right out of the box. I liked seeing it perform as a throwing knife cause I collect knives but favor throwing ones. I see how a deeper belly and thinner saw would make this an all around perfect blade to Bush wacking and zombie killer but I think it fits the bill for my bug out bag. I also carry the SOG tomahawk or Gerber saw back machete. Bottom line is for 35 bucks this is an excellent addition to my collection and gear.
My black one with the circle logo has been a favorite backpacking blade. Light, perfectly functional after I sharpened it, credible for personal protection as a backup to my primary option. The saw back is inefficient but better than nothing. I've used it to eliminate tree roots under my campsite.
I just purchased one from Classic Firearms. I have several knives in my collections but strangely this is my first Glock knife. Looking forward to added to one of my packs.
@@mindbreak666 That is actually no saw blade. In German it's called a 'Raspel' - used for notching wood to easily tie something too it. It does not function as a saw, as it was never intended to.
I actually like it as a general use knife. Pair it with a hatchet and you are good to go. It's not a half bad fighter either; I actually prefer it over my old Ka-Bar to some degree, and is cheaper with a better sheath.
Every single knife, is designed for a purpose. Even general use knives, are designed for general use. This is a military use bayonet style but IMO in my eyes,this knife is a great design for soldiers, searching for land mines. For example, for a normal soldier I would suggest the Ka-Bar Mark 1 with Kraton handle, for a huge soldier (big tall guy) the Ka-Bar Mark2 and for a deminer, the Glock field knife for sure.
Greek Veteran A knife can no longer be used for mine probing. Since the introduction of electrical systems inside mines, doctrine has changed and the new tool is a fiberglass probe approximately 12-18in in length.
I make knives. I really can't compete with Mora, Marttiini and Glock. In the field I carry knives of those brands. I just acquired a Marttiini "Big bear skinner". Very impressed with a knife that retails for under 20 bucks. My favorite knives are Bo Randall and Bark River and I make similar knives.
@Tiny Home Nomads I'm talking bang for the buck. Everyone knows that Sandvik steel (Mora etc.)is one of the better steel out there.The Glock knife uses 5160 spring steel and is legend. You can find that steel in most junk yards. I use 52100 ball bearing steel. I take a truck ball bearing race and beat it out. People will pay for the craftsmanship of hand forged knives but it is a time consuming process. If you have ever held one of Randalls knives you will know the fit and finish is first rate and for the record he used primarily 01 tool steel which besides L6 (Brian Baker- Svord knives)is one of the best plain steels out there. You obviously know nothing about steel. Japan makes some of the finest steel available and it is plain carbon steel. Hitachi and (Cowry X and Yare stainless) for example. (Very pure with extremely high carbon content) When you add enough chromium to steel to make it stainless there are certain compromises to consider. Hardebability versus toughness etc. The reason so many mass produced knives are stainless is because most stainless steel is air quenching so they can make big batches.(on the cheap and have low carbon content)but when you add tungsten vanadium and high cabon etc. you wind up with what some will call super steel. L6 will perform just as well but will rust. The quench and temper is the most crucial part regardless of the steel type.
Subbed here too. You've got me a little nervous while trying to use the saw side on the top of your thigh. I saw a matuto hurt himself with a a faca peixeira in Brazil once, when I was a medic in the Brazilian Air Force. Loved the video and live my 81.
I thought I read that they were 1085, not that it affects its functionality or strength. If you want to put bank line through the holes, you need to drill through (or remove) the plastic cap, as it extends below the holes. The balance is pretty much perfectly neutral, and it almost begs to be thrown.
Your comment is 2 years old, I see but anyway…😂 It’s a 1095 type steel from Böhler ( Voest Alpine Austria, a huge manufacturer of steels ) It was designed by the Austrian Special Forces and they wanted it to be a throwing knife as well. So you are not wrong, it’s made for that too.
That’s a war crime. It was likely made just to distinguish it from the military adopted Glock 78, because some countries would have laws preventing the sale of a military knife, but since the saw blade makes it an illegal military weapon it could be sold as a survival knife.
I once go myself one from the Bundesheer (Austrian Army) Still have it, I realy like it, tho i wouldn't try to use it aß a k-bar, saw a few with snaped of Tipps (about 3 to 5 cm)

Most instructive and inspirational to buy an AUG rifle to compliment glock knives already owned ! Would inserting lead weight inside the butt cap cavity help out with balance for throwing ?
richard kluesek. Why do that when he said it was already surprisingly easy to throw? he stuck 80% of his throws and isn’t a especially good knife thrower by his own admission so why fix what isn’t broken ?
I mean this with respect but you could really improve your knife throwing method by learning to control the spin. A slower spin means it spends more time pointing at the target as it gets close to the target. The method is to really stiffen up the wrist as you throw and as the blade is leaving your hand add a touch of downward pressure just to slightly offset the rotation. I have to say the method you use does require incredible skill to make work, it is just so much harder. Really enjoy your videos, wishing you the very best.
Amazon has them for $29.99. They were on backorder- I just ordered one and it's due to arrive in about 3 weeks. This is the cheapest I've found them right now.
@@ericblade8330 yea and the best parts of the U.S. military use 🇩🇪.... Typical Yanky bloke.......... I'll stick to this blue collar hero and my KM 2000.........
To be honest no knife will be a good substitute for an axe for chopping if you still want it to accomplish other tasks. If you keep a good blade on it it could be a solid knife for processing smaller firewood and batoning. If you wanna chop have an axe or saw for cutting. There is no true one tool option.
I just bought the knife. I've had a Glock pistol for years - never a problem. While I was staying busy, putting an edge on the knife, my idiot German Shepherd got hold of the sheath, with predictable results. Ah well, at least the knife was kept from him!
Serrated knives/bayonets are NOT being used by armies around the world! Their issue and use is a breach of the Hague Convention (sic) and use constitutes war crime. The saw-tooth blade is for civilian use. The plain-top blade is for military issue.
About the Butt Cap, simply drill a 3/8 inch hole and use a short piece of 5/50 paracord doubled over inserting the running ends into the hole outside inward. Cut off enough to tie a square knot then using the finger loop at the top of the cap to pull the square knot up into the cap. Seat the butt cap back onto the handle. Easy peasey you now have a finger pull to remove the butt cap. No big deal. Adapt Adjust Overcome.
why does every American that made a video about the glock knife think that Germany issued that knife? The Germans use some much more expensive tanto knifes. but still nice video
The blade is actually thick making it poor knife for most cutting. I think it would make good tool with the saw back for digging roots. I would not ever buy one.
Too bad they are not $30 US any more unless you get very lucky. The steel is hardened to 50-55C so that they will bend and not break, they will break if bent too much. They also do not hold a edge as well as a harder blade, they are easier for most people to sharpen. For what it is it is a very good knife if you can find one at a price that you can afford and now that the price has gone up mostly due to the fact that they are discontinued and are not manufactured now by Glock (beware of cheep chinese knockoffs).
@@Glockamole19xit's actually kill a Bear The name "Ka-Bar" comes from a testimonial letter written by a fur trapper in the early 1900s. The letter described how the trapper used his Union Cutlery hunting knife to kill a wounded bear that attacked him after his gun jammed. The letter was only partially legible, but the words "ka bar" could be read as fragments of the phrase "kill a bear". In 1923, Union Cutlery Co. of Olean, New York, adopted the name "Ka-Bar" as a trademark for its knives.

The saw blade is a very useful feature. And with practice, one can cut through wood very quickly.
The serrations on the G81 are good for cutting gras and roots for making trenches next to your tent for the rain.
The "saw" edge is only really useful for making notches for securing lashings..... and does make a good fish de-scaler.....

About the Butt Cap, simply drill a 3/8 inch hole and use a short piece of 5/50 paracord doubled over inserting the running ends into the hole outside inward.
Cut off enough to tie a square knot then using the finger loop at the top of the cap to pull the square knot up into the cap. Seat the butt cap back onto the handle. Easy peasey you now have a finger pull to remove the butt cap. No big deal. Adapt Adjust Overcome.
why does every American that made a video about the glock knife think that Germany issued that knife? The Germans use some much more expensive tanto knifes. but still nice video
Dude your husband is gonna kill you when he sees all those holes in the fence
That would have been rad if you would have just turned around and knifed your own tires in the beginning of the video.
The German Bundeswehr uses the Kampfmesser 2000 since 2003, not this knife...
The blade is actually thick making it poor knife for most cutting. I think it would make good tool with the saw back for digging roots. I would not ever buy one.
For 25-30$ it’s well worth it
Too bad they are not $30 US any more unless you get very lucky. The steel is hardened to 50-55C so that they will bend and not break, they will break if bent too much. They also do not hold a edge as well as a harder blade, they are easier for most people to sharpen. For what it is it is a very good knife if you can find one at a price that you can afford and now that the price has gone up mostly due to the fact that they are discontinued and are not manufactured now by Glock (beware of cheep chinese knockoffs).
To my Knowledge that isn´t a saw but a rasp
Can't beat a Kabar !

@@Glockamole19xit's actually kill a Bear
The name "Ka-Bar" comes from a testimonial letter written by a fur trapper in the early 1900s.
The letter described how the trapper used his Union Cutlery hunting knife to kill a wounded bear that attacked him after his gun jammed.
The letter was only partially legible, but the words "ka bar" could be read as fragments of the phrase "kill a bear". In 1923, Union Cutlery Co. of Olean, New York, adopted the name "Ka-Bar" as a trademark for its knives.

Funny thing the Google algorithm changed the spelling several times. Spell it how you want but Google algorithm has the last word. 😎
