5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty much the best survival knife for the price, February 25, 2010

This review is from: Glock Fld Knife Olive W/Root Saw (Misc.)

The Glock 81 is pretty much the best survival knife out there for the cost.

Blade:
The blade is made from incredibly tough spring steel. This means that it can withstand considerable abuse and lateral torque without cracking. While the edge retention is not as good as carbon steel, it can still hold a pretty sharp edge. It is a fine trade-off for survival situations. There is also a crosscut saw blade machined in the spine of the blade. While not incredible, it cuts decently well and is worth mentioning.
Guard:
The guard is cleverly designed and functions as a bottle opener.
Grip:
The grip is made from the same polymer plastic as the frames of Glock handguns. It is lightweight and very strong. Although this knife is NOT a full-tang construction, because of the way the grip is directly injection molded onto the tang it is more than adequately strong. This knife will take all the backwoods abuse you can throw at it. The handle also features a small hollowed section in the end. While it is not really large enough to hold much, it has a small hole drilled through the end which allows it to be converted to a hunting spear.
Sheath:
The sheath is made from the same Glock polymer, and cleverly designed as well. It features a nice latching mechanism which holds the knife securely in place, yet still allows for a quick single hand draw. The sheath can also be attached and removed from a belt without having to unbuckle it, which is a convenient feature as well.
Overall:
The knife is very light weight and strong, and includes many features that make it an excellent wilderness survival tool. It delivers high functionality at an unmatched price. It is standard issue in many European military and special operations units. This is a knife that is meant to be used.
