I like that signed collector. He was/is one of my favorite people that ever graced the screen.
R. Lee Ermy was a great man. His role in Full Metal Jacket was epic! lol! Thanks
FYI...when I click on the survival dispatch- it says page cannot be found?
Have the 81 in black for nearly 15 years now ... I always have it in my car :)
Greetings from Austria ;)
Thanks Felix! It's a solid knife for sure.
Had one since I was a little kid. Solid knives for a very fair price. What's not to like.
I always thought that a glock knife was just a cheap knife with a big name on it but now I might want to get one
Made in Austria quality at a Made in China price. Inexpensive, but not cheap.
@S A I'm one of those people who have a combat knife in the car in my Bob fishing pack so on
I found a model 78 in sand color in my back yard. It had been hit by a lawn mover blade but it held up very well. I have no idea where it came from. It's a great knife. My niece's boys love to go hunting with their father so I got them a couple of them for Christmas.
I remember buying one of those at the Ramstein AFB px over a decade ago, still have it, it's a great knife.
Awesome! Memories! 3 decades for mine.
I have one of these in my vehicle. The saw teeth happen to be exactly the right tooth depth for cutting laminated windshield glass. I am sure that was not the intended purpose, but I have never found anything that cuts though windshields as good as that saw.
nice knife. hold on to your guns also. these are crazy times.
I have one at least for 4-5 years and it’s my only knife I trust. Best price for value and I would bet my life on that knife. Love the glock stuff. Greets from Germany.
Is it sharp on the blade too or just near the tip
from what i understand the saw is supposed to be used to cut roots in the ground so one can dig a foxhole. stab in ground and then cut in a circle and dig out with the glock shovel.
I’ve had one in black since 1985. Great knife!
That would have been awesome to meet Mr. Ermy before he passed. He was a cool guy!
Haven't been able to get a 78 model for awhile now, at least not in the US.
Did you try Buddy K?
Ebay
The only place you can find em is.on ebay it seems
Didn't think I would buy a Glock knife, but your video has changed my mind.
A fantastic knife for the money. I have several I have bought over the years, starting in the late 80s. Sootch, so happy you have one signed by "Gunny"!!!!
Long live the Gunney

My party side of my brain: COCAINE
1:58 That's it! Thank You so much for this video! When I was young my uncle baugt that for me at a Gun store. I saw it and wanted it so bad but didn't have enuff,,, he sent it to me later on. I loved it more then most in my collection and felt bad for not being able to place it. I know now after all these years.
I get the crazy feeling that I’ve seen this video before. I’ve had one for a few years now I like the knife just haven’t had a chance to use it in the field.
A few years back I watched a bunch of videos on knife chopping. I even tried it out. Then I compared to small lightweight folding saws, no knife can cut as fast or efficiently. I like the longer Glock knife paired with a folding saw over having one heavier wide bellied chopping knife.
E4: "Fix Bayonets!"
E2: "Aw chit!"
Just bought one from midway. Thank you for the review
I will not leave this knife behind, a great knife to have at all times.
I believe i read 30 years ago or so that the saw is primarily for cutting roots while digging a foxhole.
I get two each year at the Glock shoot at our range. Still have six and give others away. Great gift...
Have two, 1 serrated, 1not. However my go to is my service K-Bar. Fills my hand better.
Had a model 81 in OD green. Loved it! Knew about the Tube in the handle. Great sheath design as well.
Have to a proper friend to return a favor. Think I'll get a model 78 next.
I've got one they're built like a tank solid knife .
I've owned these since the 80's, all colors. Here's the deal: It is a bayonet meant for stabbing. But, Re-profile the edge to 40 degree inclusive, 20 per side ( a lot of work!). It becomes a great slicer. It is great for batoning kindling. Don't chop, instead cross baton a beaver cut (or use your freaking folding saw). It has a flat ricasso which is great for finger choil (detail work) and ferro rod when flat sharpened. The "saw" is for notches and roots, ONLY!. People need to get a grip about him sawing on his leg. The saw teeth are to fat and not sharp enough to do any serious damage to your leg!!! (unless you really try!) The spine on 78 can be sharpened for a great scraper. It is NOT full tang. I challenge you to break one of these!!!! Aint gonna happen!! I know, "But it's plastic"! That is what they said about the 9mm pistol, right?!! The hollow handle (which I don't really use) is for a spear or small storage. I saw a guy on TH-cam "tap" and put in a bolt. As you take the plug out more and more it does get a little easier. Cut and shape wood pole and insert. The two holes in the handle are so you can drill and pin the pole to the handle. Don't throw your spear and loose it as the animal runs away!! - DOH! Again, it's for stabbing or extending your reach. The knife and sheath are very light. The sheath is designed so that your "combat" opponent is not going to pull "your" knife and use it against you! I don't like the saw model - 81. I prefer the 78. This is the lightest strongest (based on weight) knife/batoner/digger/defensive weapon that I know of. This knife combined with a saw, 4" knife, multi blade pocket knife with awl and hatchet is all you need in most environments. And yes, it is a great bottle opener as well!! - ha.
I think you can still order the 81 from Glock's site for about $40 shipped? (not sure!) Ebay is price gouging these now. You can still get the 78 and 81, but they are gonna run $60 - $100!!!!
The last I ordered was a couple years ago as gifts and they came from Ebay - Poland and Russia.
How does it hold the edge when you change the geometry?
Would I trust a non full tang knife which is as soft as 55 HRC as my last tool? Probably not. The edge has to be rolling like butter. What's the point of having spring steel that soft? A good stainless would be harder than that
@@trollmcclure1884 Opinions are like colons, everybody has one and they are usually full of shite!!!
Why are you posting an argument on a knife you don't own?!
That is asinine!
Careful resting the wood on your leg when you are sawing!
As always, great job! I just bought one in gray and now I want to get more, for bug out bags, vehicles, tool kits, etc.
I've got the grey serrated I take everywhere. Nice general blade to have around. My ESEE 4 is my Go-To though. Love the video brother. God bless
Fantastic survival knives that double as bayonets. Impressive. I had to buy a couple poor mans stilettos for my urban stealth, they are only 3 1/2 inch blades (In TX you can have stiletto's 5" long that's legal). I like stiletto's if you can't carry a gun, as criminals always show up from your blind spot. I can quick draw from pockets or sheaths strapped to wrists.
"Hooooorahhhhhh! Get some, gunny!"
Usually just keep a machete for bushes and hanging limbs for trees. R. Lee Ermy autographed knife is cool! Usually just keep a swiss army knife for work. You may have changed my mind on these. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the content you cover. Hope yall had a good Easter, as always be strong, be of good courage, and LLTR!
Just got my Glock 81 today! It was razor sharp!
Looks like good solid knife. Like any knife they each have their uses.
If SHTF think kitchens and meat markets for chef's and butcher knives for game processing.
When you think your knife is sharp check out a meat cutters or chef's knife.
Cool collection
Also thanks. I’ve been trying to remove that end-cap for about 30 years.
Legendary knife skills
I've never tried to throw my M78. I may just build a target out of some scrape wood and give it a try. Looks like fun. Bryan Stephens (Survival on Purpose) has a great setup. Thank you for another great video. Thumbs up from me.
Gwok Qwality! I was definitely going to call bullshit on your throws until you showed your bloopers lol. You looked like a knife throwing expert.
Yeah, I'm no knife throwing expert but honestly, I made solid hits 75% of the time. Thanks Brother
@@SensiblePrepper How come you don't use Amazon links Mr. Don?
I love my Glock 81 Field Knife. Very Cool R.Lee Ermey signed Glock knife , Sootch00 !!!!!!!!!! My Glock knife is very sharp an it's Worth every penny. As always long live the Republic my friend !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I want one... or three. Thanks.
I’m no survivalist, but I don’t think you’re supposed to saw on top of your leg like that....
I had a bow saw bind up, jump out of the groove and cut across my finger. Not a fun knife and i've been a lot more careful with saws ever since, i definitely would cut across my lap for fear of cutting somethi g a little more important than a finger 😂😂
Lol that root saw wouldn't even cut through his jeans though
Good knife, good price. Very functional and strong. Had my saw tooth model for near 20 years. 👍
I'm a sucker for an affordable knife. Ordered one. If I like it, I'll get another one for my son. If I don't like it, I'll give him mine!
Churchill was talking about the Austrian field knife
Dude you were freaking me out sawing on your knee like that. Man, put that thing on a solid surface.
I have one, good general purpose knife. Kind of knife I wouldn’t mind for hard use like prying. I believe I did a video on it too.
Just like that you got yourself a sub...ooorah!
@HOSTILE MGTOW kinda hard to figure out what he meant right? (Smh)
HOSTILE MGTOW Sorry, I was lazy and used the voice thing. Corrected
demonbushcraft 570 me? Thank you
If you prep then you don't have a 'do everything' knife or tool. You have the right tool for the right job. That knife is pointless for wood, pointless for skinning but excellent as a bayonet. Not a priority.
srspower some one who gets it. It’s a bayonet, just like the M7. Military lowest bidder quality, which is still better than Chinese. For a solo prepper not a good choice, but if you have to equip others then not a horrible choice.
Nice knife , lots of good options to it and fairly light weight. I'll stick with the K Bar that was issued to me back in 65.
One of the older videos. Nice.
taiwan army also use glock 81 for army knife.
Thanks for another vid in these times. I prefer the 78. For me the cuts on the spine of the 81 are absolutely worthless. Knowledge gained thru my experience along with many others. Better tasks preformed by my Silky, Varustalika 140, Scrama, etc. I wiill not however question the simplicity, ruggedness, quality or the ability to hold an edge on my 78. Stay healthy Amigo
This is so interesting. I had no clue that they made bayonets or quality knives. I thought they were more of a gimmick or novelty thing, I will definitely be picking one up now!
The Ridge Outdoors you miss understand, they make bayonet quality knives. In other words, cheap mass produced mediocre quality, think m7 bayonet. Yes they are better than the major, if not all Chinese made knives, but far from quality in a better than average sense.
Ed Wo that’s a fair point.
I hate you for having more Glock knifes than I do!! (J/K) great review!
I keep one in my emergency kit in the car. Good solid knife.
Those are neat knives, I’ve got Danish and Austrian Army examples. Not that useful though, too long for a bushcraft knife and too thin to chop with. Sturdy enough for batoning though, as you showed.
Im a big knife guy but for some reason i dont have one of these knives. Ill be getting one soon. Thanks!
Love my glock knife
SOLD :)
I’m not an expert but would guess holes have something to do with mounting securely to bayonet mount.
OD brown, huh?.... Okay. Love ya Sootch00!!!
For the GLOCK knife with the flat (backside) spine, can you get sparks from that flat spine off a ferro rod?? For me, that would be a must!!
78 is a collectors item now. About $100 on eBay.
I love his Texan accent.
Lmao i just knew I'd read comments complaining about you sawing on your leg. Although I will say I had to scroll more than I thought I would. Reminds me of the types that supposedly "flinch" when someone points a gun at a CAMERA.
Odd they make that end cap so tight fitting. If I had that knife and wanted to store something in there, I'd probably run a few passes of sandpaper or a file on the cap to make the diameter a scoatch less.
Thanks again for the video Don!
I ordered one a couple weeks ago but for some reason Amazon shipped it and a couple other knives through the usps and they are like 2 or 3 weeks behind
Be careful, if you buy one of these it just might convert you into a knife collector. I bought one, and all of a sudden I ended up with a whole bunch of other knives that I really don't need. I keep my FM81 in my car as a "just in case" knife - as it's still one of my favorites.
Great timing
I WANT ONE TOO
A few years ago I was given a Glock knife as a birthday present. I've enjoyed it quite a bit. Who wouldn't like THAT as a present! I took it to work daily, until I retired. Good video.
a little hi from denmark ;)
This knife is a beast
Learn something new everyday
If you were not in the marines you can buy a kabar knife (real one) new off amazon for around 70.00 usd and blows all these knives away
...........Nice review..........Many thanks and Best wishes to you and yours............
Can you put a link..I want one.. I started saving items because it is virus. I do storage units for a living.. I'm also doing videos on here ..but I love your channel .. I started saving items that I found in my units . so I don't have to purchase them saves me a lot of money.. but I really would like that knife!
Kalsylvania Reseller put Glock knife on Amazon
The small storage is great to store your weed in.
I thought the same thing😂
Look into the Buck Ground Combat Knife
What prepper would trade rust resistance for 55 HRC?
If you ask me it doesn't look like a very good knife. Fine for 30 bucks, I guess. But I think I'll stick with a Mora.
the information in this video is incorrect,the tang is not 3/4 long it is only 1/4 long
K Bar #1
"Sonny, if the enemy caught you with this they wouldn't kill you. They'd pluck your eyes out, fill 'em full of sawdust."
Great info here man i didn't know this.
i bought it just because the sheath lol i care more about the sheath in my survival knife than the blade so many good solid knives ruined by crappy sheaths
I have one I like it . It's a bayonet so it won't be sharpe
I'm having deja vu... I'm convinced I seen this last week. Lol
RIP R Lee Ermey. Till' Valhalla.
I believe the saw back was used for pilots to cut there self out of the aircraft instead of sawing wood I believe it worked a lot better that’s why the saw back is on the back of the kabar Air Force survival knives
SO LONG AS IT DOESN'T BREAK WHEN I'M BATONING....IF SO, I'M ALL IN.....
I got one in grey.
Cool knives steel is a bit soft for me.
Do you have a video showing your favorite all in one knives?
I have been an owner and fan of these for decades. The steel is not 1095. The steel is European spring steel 55si7.
It's better than a sharp stick.
Using the Glock knife as a bayonet is a myth.
