I think the reason is because it fits into a category where theres so many better options out there close to the same price range. An srk only costs a lil more n ima disagree with wat was said bout the difference between the two in this vid. In an extreme torture test it wouldnt take long to figure out this glock is not on the srk's level. Thats just ONE of probly many knives that will outperform the glock for just a few $ more.

Great review. The Glock is practically indestructible and the sheath offers more protection compared to any other sheaths (approved for airborne troops). Yes, your comparison is very accurate - this is the Mora of the tactical world and I never though of that. I really appreciate that Glock and Mora do not put fiberglass in their sheaths so you don’t have to touch up the edge every time you draw the knife like you have to with an FRP sheath. I can put a razor edge on these knives and draw them from their sheath and return them with no damage to the edge.

BIGGEST FLAW is its NOT a chopper. it simply doesnt weigh enough. you can chop with it, its just not easy or fast. just use a wire saw. the saw on the spine is pretty terrible for cutting much of anything. it is too wide to be effective.

In 'Nam, it was discovered that a combat knife with a sawback spine would get stuck in ribcages, and then stayed there until the battle was over, and required destruction of the bones to be removed. In other words, lost weapon.

Aren’t sawback knives banned for use in war?

@@AlexKS1992 Never heard of the blade getting stuck in ribs due tot sawback and stayed there till battle was over either. Can't believe that actually. Sounds like fairytales to me. The reason is not to cause unnecessary pain/harm to an opponent/enemy. Which sounds weird also, given the bombs and weapons that are also used. Leaving people with limbs blown off , bellies ripped open lying there to slowly die. War is a crime in itself. And people shouldn't fight in Ukraine. They should blast the hell out of the Kremlin, there where it all starts. Take a missile/rocket some now and then, and then and aim for a window at the Kremlin. Let's see how creepy Putain feels then. Still safe? Sorry had to say this, about that major piece of filth of the world.

The glock knife is an excellent field knife. Cheap enough to equip all your family bug out bags and vehicles with the quality to last. And if it breaks 30 bucks to replace. Or cheap enough to have a few on hand.

They didn’t. That’s the 2nd version of the knife. The original has no teeth

This is the first combat knife I've ever bought. Now I have a collection of 6 combat knives. My other knives include Glock 78, Ontario MK3, ESEE-6, ESEE-CM6 and of course the USMC Ka-Bar.

Not full tang. The tang goes in to the second ring of the handle from above. BUT with the special Glock polymer molded over it, it is as strong as a full tang, even much stronger. This tang construction is unbreakable! That's the secret of the Glock polymer.
