Glock 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!!!

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.

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...

Seems well made and balanced. Has some plastic composite handle and sheath. The knife clicks into the sheath to keep it secured and the belt loop on the sheath can open up to easily attach to a belt without pulling through. The only thing they skimped out on is giving it a descent sharpening. I noticed it was razor sharp at the base of the blade, but dulled out towards the tip.

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.

I have zero idea what the other reviewers were talking about. I got a knife sharp enough to cut paper out of the box, and the holster is solid, if not a bit stiff. The way the holster is described in other reviews is kinda odd to me, as long as you have 2 hands or enough grip strength the holster is fine. I love this knife and hope to use it in the field many a time.

Amazingly durable, sharp as hell. Seen this knife being hammered through rebar and keeping edge. Perfect field knife. Glock has sold these to the Austrian military since the late 70's. Could be potentially as good or better than my KABAR. Double feature bonus as being able to be used as a bayonet. Good grip and size. Sheath could use a good redesign, and that's the worst part of this knife.

As the title says, it is made by Glock. Perfection is their moto and this knife lives up to the hype. Sharp out of the package and made in Austria. Glock started making knives before they made firearms. The quality is second to none.

Made in Austria. 👍

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

Excellent quality 👍👍

Very good knife , Excellent quality, price was fair , thick blade is great for rugged jobs , it's not to heavy and not to light ,the blade is around 6.5 inches,the knife is 11.4 inches in total, the case isn't the greatest however it has a drain hole at the bottom to let water out.Good buy in my eyes , THUMBS UP !!!!!!!!
