How Glock Made the Perfect Knife

  • Most Glock fans only know the Austrian brand for their polymer framed 9mm handguns- but in the late 1970s, Gaston Glock manufactured all kinds of plastic goods. One of those items was the Glock Feldmesser 78- a fixed blade combat knife submitted to a competition held by the Austrian government. The special forces were so impressed by Glock's genius design that the Glock 78 knife became the official service blade of the military- and it's still being used today

    This knife has bypassed inflation. I remember paying around $30-40 over 10 years ago. And it’s still about that price. It’s great to see that a European made knife like morakaniv or Glock and some others still selling absolute quality for the common man.

    • @HerculesEinstein
      @HerculesEinstein 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +185

      most of the inflation these days is just corporate greed. places like walmart, pepsi, kelloggs etc are raking in near record profits. pepsi and coke both intentionally raised their prices just to see how much people were willing to pay. coke hit their limit a while back, that's why it's always on sale in most places. pepsi hit their limit, too, for that time frame, but have another "modest" increase planned for 2024. a lot of great value stuff is only maybe 10% less than the brand names.

      @@HerculesEinstein I mean, I remember that like 12-13 years ago a 2 liter bottle of coke was 2 euros in my country. Seems like that was a bit high (salaries were also quite a bit lower than today) so the price dropped slowly, then around 10 years ago it reached ~1.3 euros and stayed there for a while. Then it started growing again and reached 2 euros, even a bit higher at a point, and it is currently usually about 2-2.3 euros. But anyways, I think your point definitely stands, because they basically had dropped the price from 2 euros to 1.3 in a matter of a couple of years, and they were still making money. As I've said, salaries in my country today are much higher, so the 2 euro price is certainly a lot more justified than it was 13 or so years ago, but still the fact that back then they were able to drop the price by a third just shows that their margin is huge enough that they can do that and still make money.

  • @mediocreman6323
    @mediocreman6323 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +22

    There are a few things I want to add:
    • To my knowledge, the Glock 78's perfect balance was not a lucky coincidence, our Austrian special forces explicitely wanted it to be that way.
    • The 78-model (without the saw) is classified as an actual combat knife, while the 81 (with the saw) is not, because the “Haager Landkriegsordnung 1905” (Hague convention of 1905) forbids toothed blades, because the wounds they cause are too terrible. So if you want to stab somebody in a war, use the 78. Using the 81 would be a war crime.
    • The blades are made of “Federstahl”, spring steel. The reason is their flexibility (they bend, but do not break), and the fact that they can be sharpened with basically a wet pebble picked up from the ground - a sharp blade can be the difference between life and death in a survival situation. Spring steal however is not stainless, so they are prone to rust. But rust is something you can deal with, a broken blade is a different story.
    • To my knowledge, there are Feldmesser variants only available for the military, stamped with the Austrian military's emblem, which are of a reddish hue, which comes from phosphor-treatment. This keeps the blade's qualities intact, but protects it quite well from rusting. Because this treatment makes the blade non-food-save, it is used only in the military. At least this is what I heard. Since I am a civilian, who has never been in the army, I have never seen such a knife.
    • To my knowledge, the knife's capability to open bottles is intentional. This is a universal tool for soldiers to feed themselves in any thinkable situation. From butchering an animal to cutting cheese, opening bottles,… This is as survival-knife in one of its purest incarnations.
    And:
    • You should have talked about the sheath. It is one of the best sheaths of any knife I have ever seen. It keeps the blade as dry as can be, protects the wearer, and is as sturdy as can be.

      That hague convention didn't ban saw toothed blades, that's a myth. They just fell out of use because saw blades on the back of knives weren't all that functional so they eventually fell out of use and just fizzled out of service. The exception to this was Germany during WWI who still had saw back blades issued to their soldiers so Allied powers like Britain started a propaganda campaign around it to put them in a worse light.
      Germany eventually dropped them from standard issue mainly because the saw teeth kept getting caught in the thick layers of wool and canvas that soldiers wore at the time. So German soldiers would often lose their knives or get killed because they got stuck at a bad time. It just wasn't worth the extra work to make or risk when a unit could keep a dedicated saw in their packs instead.

      @@CollinMcLean - It is article 23, point e of said convention, that especially forbids, and I quote, _“arms, projectiles, or material calculated to cause unnecessary suffering”,_ - and if you get stabbed by a blade with a toothed back, this is exactly what happens. I also tried to find primary sources (Heeresdienstvorschriften or something, both historic or contemporary) that supports either of our claims. What I can tell you with absolute certainty is that the Feldmesser with a straight back is in fact part of the Austrian military's equipment, while the one with the saw back is not, and I have been told that the Hague convention is the reason for it, which very much makes sense. For a possibly definitive answer we'd have to get our hands on primary sources. Ask a historian, maybe?

Second, it makes perfect sense, because “not food-safe” does not necessarily mean that it is harmful, just like your living room table is “clean” instead of “disinfected”. So, no, this kind of coating would not be harmful, just not at the level of food-safety, and if you can get a much tougher blade, the tradeoff is well worth it _especially_ in a war.

    I got one in West Germany many years ago, when I served in Europe. It was great for general military use and I had it for about 15 years, until it was stolen. A few years ago I got my hands on two field knives that had no Glock markings, so the first thing you think is that they're fake. However, it turns out they were made under license for the Polish Military Police and are marked "WZ.81ZW."
    WZ.81 = wzór.81 (Mark or Model No.81)
    ZW = Zandarmeria Wojskowa (Military Gendarmerie or Military Police)

Would have rather used the spade turned into an edge with a file as some units were trained. Never figured out a use, the official army newspaper said it's for "... auxiliary mine clearing..."

    The "field knife" was designed as a bayonet for the Steyr AUG, not as a "field knife". Yeah, Glock thought a BULLPUP needed a bayonet. 'Cause that makes tons of sense. That's why the base of the knife is hollow.
    "Field knife" is in quotes because it's a pretty bad field knife. It's also not a great self defense knife. No belly and the thick spine is just way more than needed. Spring steel is a giveaway to the original intent for use as a bayonet. Spring steel makes pretty "meh" knives.

    This is not a great not even a good knife. It is a bayonet, good for stabbing and because it is sturdy you can pray with it (ammo boxes, etc). But as a cutting tool you can find plenty other better alternatives, even a cheap Mora is better. Of course if you have nothig else with you than this one, you could be glad to have it. Way much better than having nothing. But when you can choose, and need a real tool, choose something more refined. Look at a Fallkniven, or a Cold Steel SRK, Recon Scout, or any Busse knives and you will understand why did I say that about the Glock knife.
    So no offense, if someone enjoy to use it, please, go ahead. :)
