Glock | Field Knife | Models 81 + 78

[@catey62]

I have both of these myself. I recently purchased them after watching many reviews here on KZbin. as most of then say, they may be the best survival you can get, but they are a very high quality knife that will last you and get you through most situations. I'm very happy with mine, even though they cost me just over $200 AU dollars thanks to exchange rates here in Australia where I live, but they are well worth the expense as far as I'm concerned. Cheers from Down Under from this Aussie girl.

[@Revelation1316]

I'm in Australia too. Where did you get your 78 from please??

[@realtyrocks1969]

​@@Revelation1316I sell them and ship to AU.

... prefer with or without the saw ???

[@bobsmoot2392]

I sanded the little tooth that locks the knife into the sheath a bit. Easier to withdraw, now. Works great! Use the thumb of my draw hand to lift up the locking tab, as I draw. Easy one hand draw, and still locked in tight.

[@kevinosborne8308]

My boss and good friend just gave me a new 81 today. I use my index finger to unsheath it one handed. This knife is great.

[@s2hmik]

I used in military one of these. You can Open absolutely any food container and Even dig with those. Unfortunatly i lost mine.

[@samlott99]

It's amazing how many own ers of Glock knives don't realize there is a hollow handle for storage of survival items. Or if they know the handle is hollow, they never include in the review videos how too remove the cap for access to the hollow handle. The 2 holes in the sides of the Glock Knife handle are for use AFTER the cap has been removed.

[@lonewandererbushcraftwildc6822]

Yes you can put small survival items in the handle but it's actually there so you can fit it on a austrian rifle as a bayonet. You'll be surprised how many people don't know that either lol

[@tomasjasicek3489]

instead, you can also insert a metal sculcrasher or glassbreaker, which can be made with a hole drilled to match the hole in the plastic of the handle and threaded with paracord for fastening... that means replacing it with a plastic one...

[@sergeantdef.3572]

The hollow handle is for the adapter.. The Glock FM78 was a Bayonet from orgine.. Bayonet for the Steyer Aug rifle. But now its used as combat and field knife. I have put a pommel on one of my Glock knives. The hollow part is to little to put serieus Survival stuff in.. Great knife btw.. And by the most Glock knives you buy now..the end cap can not open anymore..

[@tomasjasicek3489]

Instead, you can also insert a metal sculcrasher or glassbreaker, which can be made with a hole drilled to match the hole in the plastic of the handle and threaded with paracord for fastening... that means replacing it with a plastic one...but make the hollow to be waterproof👍👍👍...in the case of emergency the hollow is ready to make survival spear..but carefully secure with a screw so as not to damage the plastic handle...prepared👍

[@madawcofarreat2348]

I've got both of the models as well, and I absolutely love them. The sheath is my favorite design that I've come across yet. I will say however that I wouldn't buy these unless you're capable of re-profiling the blade or willing to pay someone to do it for you. Both of mine came with a very dull spot on the blade and also the tip isn't very sharp either, and I've heard similar stories from others, where the blade wasn't very good from the factory. So only get these if you plan on doing that. However, once re-profiled/sharpened up, it's such a nice blade and the blade steel is pretty great and will take a wicked edge. Also, if you wanna make the knife easier to get out of the sheath, you can trim away a tiny bit of the polymer tip that snaps it into place. Just trim away a tiny bit at a time, because if you remove too much the retention will be lost.

[@BladedArticles]

What a fantastic testimonial right there, thank you for sharing for others 🙏🏼! I was lucky enough not to need a re profile when I got these but for sure need one now 😂. I also do whole heartedly agree on shaving a little bit of that poly tip away because darn these are hard to open one handed when you don’t 😂. Again thank you for the comment and helping others out it’s much appreciated by all 🤙🏼👊🏼!

[@Visiblyblue]

How do you reprofile the tip? Mine came blunt

[@madawcofarreat2348]

@@Visiblyblue Mine did too. I think they're just like that generally because it's a bayonet for the Steyer AUG first and foremost, and it's preferable to have those be a bit blunt for durability. You have to have the entire blade re-profiled though, since just doing the tip isn't feasible, at least to my knowledge. But getting that done will make it so much better overall anyway. I just sent mine off to a company that specialize in it. Wasn't expensive at all.

[@jamesfair9751]

Is there any reason to buy one over the other or is it basically the same thing

[@madawcofarreat2348]

@@jamesfair9751 They're the same, except for the serrated/saw tooth part. But as others have pointed out it's not really meant to be a saw in the regular sense. They're not really sharp at all, but are used to cut small roots when digging trenches in a tearing motion. If you're used to having a thumb on the spine while making finer cuts or feathersticks I'd just get the plain one without them though.

[@Revelation1316]

Last week I unashamedly paid $164AUD for Glock FM78 and I brought 4 more (already had 2). I predict the Glock FM78 will be worth $1000 in 5 years. It will be more sought after and more collectible than the legendary Gerber MkII, for the fact it is both stronger, more versatile and more legal in more countries. Glock FM78 is the strongest most versatile military knife ever made. Its a masterpiece. My assessment after 50 years of collecting.

[@booooo448]

why would it go up in value if they're still made?

[@realtyrocks1969]

​@@booooo448it won't. And nobody would pay $1000 for a $35 knife.

[@sammywilliam8156]

​@@booooo448 Because the 81 can any site by the 78 is the one that you actually want because yes even though both are used in the military the 7081 is the 1 that's actually used in the Austrian army I have the 81 version and basically I'm breaking the Geneva convention if I go into war

[@papuchu]

I've used a lot the two models and i prefer the 78 model over the 81

[@johnmutton799]

The back of the knife is not a saw. It is for notching. These knives are for killing, not logging!

[@Revelation1316]

The saw would work best for cutting through perspex of a helicopter or alluminium fuselage of a plane in an evac situation I think.

[@stihlsawrepairs7955]

What is “notching” ?

[@antsu5314]

I've had several Glock knives and I prefer 78 over the 81. Even though 81 looks cool, the saw is pretty useless and acts as a weak point of the blade. I actually broke one 81 while batoning firewood. 71 is also cheaper.

[@_Alfa.Bravo_]

... Thank you !!!

[@Lalalunatix]

Ty for showing these cool knives. That link is very helpful too :)

[@paulquinn4704]

Just bought the 78 yesterday, so waiting on it coming from Heinnie Haynes today. Managed to find a little discount code , only 7% off but code still works, £3 better in my pocket than theres.

[@BladedArticles]

Nice work ! It’s a great blade for the money in my opinion. Good job on the code too 👍🏼👌🏼

[@luisherrera3444]

Thanks for the info! I want to use it as a secondary knife, since I don't know if is safe for food or cooking use due the rust protection.

[@doejon9424]

I really don't even know why these are still being made. They are an outdated bayonet system for a rifle rarely used anymore. Glock keeps up production though

Just brought saw back

[@BladedArticles]

Nice one ! Very capable blades, may have to put a sharp sharp edge on it if you want that sort of thing. And the saw is half decent on it I mean it is a knife not a saw 😂. But it does the job !

[@iby914]

Hi, did yours come in the original packaging?

[@BladedArticles]

Hello, What you see in the video is what arrived from Heinnie Haynes, there was no packaging it was just in its sheath with the Lorax (HeinnieHaynes) barcode sticker on it.

[@Tony.795]

They seldom do, the distributors seem to unpack them before they get shipped to the stores to save space.

[@browniepudding8315]

To bad they didn’t make one in good steel

[@Revelation1316]

Lol...wanna try that again? The steel is a military secret. Only knife in the world to be bent 46 degress and return true. Strongest tip of any knife ever tested. 55HRC is not brittle. If you want better edge retention 58+ you lose torsional strength. The knife is perfect for what it was designed for.

[@bushj856]

how to concel carry them

[@BladedArticles]

I guess you could attach them on the inside of your belt, but would have to move the trouser part out of the way. The have the rest of the sheath tucked in side. Unless you got a kydex sheath made for it then you can carry pretty much anywhere on your body. Sorry I don’t know too much we are not allowed to conceal/carry this kind of blade in the uk

[@Revelation1316]

@@BladedArticles I wouldn't be giving advice like this to immigrants personally.

When your military cheaps out you end up with a 40$ knife that’s best for opening cans and bottles...

[@DeandreSteven]

They cant be that bad. The austrians use them

[@DeandreSteven]

Check out mayor fuglycools destruction test. They hold up incredibly well. The only thing that damaged the knife is the weight support test and it bends the tip

[@nirfz]

At least everyone of us got/gets issued one. Other armies cheap out even more and don't.

[@lumpyzx2645]

The US ARMY doesn't even issue knives anymore, and as for the glock knife, it puts the US MK2 knife to shame (kabar), a kabar will break much much easier than the glock knife.
