Combat knife of the Austrian army Glock FM 78. Original
Glock knife, officially designated FMsr 78
The Glock knife is a military field knife product line designed and produced by Glock Ges.m.b.H., located in Deutsch-Wagram, Austria. It can also be used as a bayonet, by engaging a socket in the pommel (covered by a plastic cap) into a bayonet adapter that can be fitted to the Steyr AUG rifle.
The knives were developed in close cooperation with the special forces Jagdkommando (lit. Hunting Command) of the Austrian Army and are suitable for throwing.
Knive have clip point blade made of SAE 1095 carbon steel with a hardness of 55 HRC and are electrophoretic coated.
The grips and sheaths are made of Glock-polymer. The upper crossguard is bent forward to allow it to be used as a bayonet on the Steyr AUG rifle-
It can also be used as a bottle opener.
The polymer sheath features a retention clip that secures the knife against loss, a belt clip for attaching the knife to an up to 60-millimetre (2.4 in) wide belt and a drainage opening at the bottom.
First generation versions of the knives had a circular Glock logo on the sheath, blade, and handle. Later versions sport the current Glock logo in the same locations.
Glock currently manufactures two models of knives:
The Field Knife 78 (Feldmesser 78), which is a classic field knife, with a 165-millimetre (6.5 in) long and 5-millimetre (0.20 in) thick blade, 290-millimetre (11 in) overall length and weighs 206 g (7.3 oz).
The Survival Knife 81 (Feldmesser 81), which has the same overall dimensions as the Field Knife 78 with the addition of saw-teeth on the back of the blade and weighs 202 g (7.1 oz).
