KB17281 81 Field Knife

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!!!

This is a great utility or survival knife for a good price. It came with the blade lightly oiled, ready to be used or stored away until it’s needed. Even though the pommel is polymer, it’s still very sturdy (I just used it to break up a frozen bag of ice recently). The sheath has very solid retention also. Keep it in your car or put it in your kit and you can trust it when you need it.

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...

VERY GOOD KNIFE! Love it. Its handle is EXTREMELY durable. The saw back isn't that useful, as it's probably designed for roots specifically. Personally I have no use for it, but I absolutely LOVE this knife! It looks cool, works well, and is even a good throwing knife. The knife doesn't come very sharp, matter of fact there's only like a specific part of it that is sharp, but it doesn't matter because really it's meant for stabbing rather than slashing - you can also always just sharpen the knife. Love the product.

Great field knife at a great value. Very ruggedly made. It takes practice removing knife from scabbard as it locks/snaps in very securely. Which is great as it will not become dislodged. But may not be the fastest drawing knife.

This knife appears to be well made and rugged. It's going to live in m 4WD. Gave it 4 stars because it doesn't have a very good edge. I'm going to have to spend some time with the sharpener and put an acceptable edge on it.

It's everything everyone is saying it is.. It's a great field knife and I try to keep it around all the time. I'll probably buy at least one or two more to stick in all my bags or hang on my person, when legal to do so. the locking clip works perfectly and keeps the knife secure except when you want to remove it. excellent design, and so far has kept its edge really well. I haven't sharpened or tried to replace the edge yet since I haven't needed to so I can't speak to that yet but at the price This looks like it may replace most of my Mora knives that I have traditionally kept in bug out bags and when hiking etc.

It is a durable and inexpensive knife. Used it to open a coconut, but the paint flaked off some. Overall, very good for the price. Works well, and easy to hold while using. The saw on the back is for light duty use, as usually to split wood, you’d baton it, which the saw doesn’t interfere with it from what little I tested with it.

Sharpe out of the box. Glock quality. Perfect field knife for medium sized tasks such as breaking down small logs into kindling, etc.

Made in Austria. 👍

Excellent quality 👍👍

Great knife
