Glock KD039179 Fixed Field Knife w/Saw 6.5" Blade 11.4" Overall FDE

I am an avid knife collector with over 300 knives collected over 55 years. My first knife was a Buck pocket knife given to me by my father. I still have that knife. My background, education, and experience have left me an expert on alloys. The Glock 81 Field knife is an outstanding value in my opinion. The materials used in its manufacture are excellent and the fit and finish are excellent. The blade is made from Bohler UHB20C steel, an Austrian equivalent to the 1095 steel used in the ubiquitous Ka-Bar. UHB20C is purer and appears to perform slightly better. The knife handle and sheath are apparently made from the same polymer as is used in Glock's pistols. I don't baton my knives, I carry a Estwing hatchet when camping and keep another in the emergency kit in my vehicle, but there are videos of other folks batonning this knife on line. The blade on the Glock 81 is narrow but thick at 3/8". The knife comes sharp enough right out of the package but you'll need to work on it a little to get it razor sharp. That's part of the fun in owning a knife though isn't it? The blade seems to hold a edge quite well though. The saw did it's job pretty well, even on some rock hard oak. This knife comes in 4 colors, FDE, O.D. green, dark gray, and black. If you shop around a little you'll be able to buy 3 of them for the cost of 1 Ka-Bar. The black coating on the metal components of this Glock Field knife seems pretty tough but will wear off at some point I bet. To prevent rust I smear Vaseline on all of my carbon steel cutting tools and keep a tube of it in my backpack and emergency kit. Just FYI apple cider vinegar is great for removing rust. So a great, dependable knife for as litte as $25...what's not to like? Another FYI: GlockStore.com usually has the Glock 81 Field Knife on sale. Update: I have been using this knife for awhile now and still like it alot. It a heck of a knife for the money. I'm old-school and prefer a leather sheath but I have to admit I like the Glock sheath very much. It is very durable and easy to attach to backpacks, chest rigs, etc. With a little practice the clip can be released with your thumb as you remove the knife. I like this knife so much I have purchased all 4 colors! Grumpy old guy seal of approval times 4!

The knife was delivered today and I was impressed with it. The build quality is superb, the sheath locks up securely with the knife and the sheath is perfectly adequate and seems durable. The knife and sheath have a very slender design and very easy to carry on a belt, affix to a pack or stow in a pack. I like the way the handle feels in my hand. The only problem with the handle is that it may be difficult to maintain a good grip if it gets muddy or wet. The knife is solid and weighs less than half a pound so it is a great pack knife for capability and weight savings. Again, I really like this knife and I think it will make a great addition to my camping gear. I was so impressed with the first knife that I bought and recently received the second one. I cannot say enough good things about the quality of these knives. I recently touched up the edges on both and I was pleased with how well they sharpened. I would recommend a light coating of oil on the blade to prevent the exposed edge from developing rust, similar to K-bars. Other than that I would happily recommend this knife for camping and use around the house.

Yep. Lives up to the Glock name without the price tag. IT IS MADE IN AUSTRIA, not some imported garbage made from your old dishwasher. It’s light, sturdy, and comfy. It’s a bit thin, but fine. It’s a bit soft, but sharpens easily. I highly recommend for utility or for those who wish to learn sharpening. This is easier metal to sharpen, especially in the field with a small honing stone. You’ll love it.

Good survival knife, it’s not a bushcraft knife but it is still a knife. It is really nice as a defensive knife nice length the carbon steel gets sharp, the saw it is sharp but not first choice for a saw, I prefer the thinner ones. The sheath is perfect light weight, sturdy, clip on or belt use. The retention is excellent and to deploy it you just put pressure with your thumb on the tab and it deploys the knife. It has a hole on the handle just remove the plug, can be used as a spear head if you need it to. The handle has enough traction, the handle polymer is really strong and it has a decent coating on the blade to protect it from rust. You can tie paracord around the sheath, glue some leather strip for touch ups, remove the cap on the handle and stick some items in there. Good for just throwing it inside your truck or backpack.

The perfect field knife! Inexpensive, built for duty and task, lite enough to stay on my belt. Will see lots of use! Will need sharpened!!!

Amazing knife worked for years before I lost it gonna order another one but it should last a lifetime

Love it. It's sturdy and durable feeling in your grip. Theres one of videos explaining how great this knife is. Perfect for your emergency bag or truck.

Classic genius
