I've been using the 81 extensively and it is not only a good field knife, it is a perfect urban survival tool. Able to easily hack into cars, open doors, cabinets, food cans cut and strip any kind of materials, all the jobs that are not really for a knife but... For a Feldmesser.
Buddy, if you’re right handed, it’s real easy to deploy the knife; Just push the Tab out with your thumb while you pull up on the flat part of the handle guard with your pointer finger. Almost as if your snapping your fingers. ✊🏻Works every time dude
I bought one of these on impulse figuring it would have to really suck for me to lament $35. I have almost never obtained so much knife for so little money. It's not the best out there, but it's worth its price and then some. Nice review, and thanks for the info on the integration with the AUG.
Never use CLP on a knife you use in the field, at some point, you’re going to need to use that knife for food preparation or processing an animal. Use olive oil, works very well at preventing rust and you won’t contaminate your food.
Thank you, man! I've been pondering whether to buy this and your review addressed many points I wanted to know about. Subscribed. Keep up the great work!
For one hand unsheathing, place index finger under the guard, like it's a trigger... place thumb on top of sheath retention clip... pull the "trigger" and press thumb down on clip in one motion... and the blade pops free without issue. It's very easy and the only way to do it. Sheath system is excellent. One of the reasons I love the total Glock knife package. Easy to carry and easy to deploy while being super secure in sheath.
Glad I could help. Bet it's Like a whole new knife now. Glock should include an explanation in their packaging. Lot of people get turned off to the knife because the sheath trick is kind of a secret. So they end up thinking the sheath system sucks.
Yeah, it's unable to take Modern Glock Mags -- so you will either have to Track down Older model ( good luck with that) or order a shady 3rd party Magazine off Ebay.
I’ve heard of Glock knifes but I had never seen one. Looks like a nice knife. I’m surprised you’ve been digging in the dirt with it... it’s held up well.
Glock actually started off making knives. They are good and that's why the Austrian military awarded them with the pistol contract. My friend and mentor just gave me a 81 and I like it. Not the most elaborate blade I've ever owned but I'll be dandy if I get caught in a knife fight with it. More so than many other very expensive blades.
@@travisp11 You know, I did not know this knife existed until this morning. By all accounts I have found it is a great value and like you say.....no background check😂👍🇺🇸
You can easily withdraw the knife from the sheath one-handed. Grasp the handle, take the index finger and slip your fingernail under the lock and push lifting the lock while pulling on the knife. Very fast to learn and can be very quick with a little practice. Much easier and faster than twisting the lock. Hope this helps someone. I carried a Glock 78 while in Somalia with the Marines. I was USAF.
Sometimes when supply runs low, people step up and mark up prices. I see this alot with electronics that have been discontinued like laptops and game systems. Some people have no idea what their item is worth but they list it at whatever price they want to.
The round Glock logo is collectible? Haha we have tens of thousands of them here in the austrian army and we trash them on a daily basis by using them for digging, scraping...
I had wiped the blade down with CLP prior to filming. It hasn't seen Bushcraft grade abuse but more for weekend camping and general cutting anytime im working on a project outdoors.
Fun Fact: Glock 1-16 were None-Fire Arms -- Such as Knives, Steal Ammo Boxes, Survival Kits, Sharping Rods, Tint Steaks, Etc....So The Glock 81 could be called the Glock 8.

Yup! For the money it is hard to beat.
Beats many of the most expensive well known brand knifes.
Chris Redfield It is a great knife!

Thank you!!
Glock has gone down hill. They started with crappy plastic sights and now the glock 81 doesn't even have them.
The Odd Calvanist I know, right?! No innovation! Un sub! No wait a minute, I can't un sub from my own channel!
First glock review I've ever watched the whole way thru great job Travis!
O4 HEMI Thanks! I really wanted to go all NutN Fancy on this one but I had to restrain myself.

Doug Parkhurst thanks for watching! Yeah, they are great all around field knives and I was surprised to see the info about the AUG, too!

Good suggestion! Thanks!
Mineral oil is another good option.
@ Hank Good info thanks , Just a follow up , does it have to be olive? Or is vegetable or canola oil okay also
To unlock the Glock knife with one hand, use ur index tip push its locking latch as you pulling it out in 1 motion.
KHANH KIM Cool! Will do!

Thank you and yup, it really is easier to take out the knife using your recommendation!

@@tokr72 it seemed a bit tricky and it always too me two hands so I ended up taking the whole knife and sheath off. This helps a lot! Thanks!
Not an index finger. Use thumb.
Doesn't look like it takes Glock mags.
Mel_the_Nut ya never know!
Kind of surprised they don't make it so a mag would fit into the back of the handle
This is the one Glock that never runs out of ammo.

Excellent info! Certainly a contender vs the Kabar. Must try it out. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Imagine that, a Glock with bad factory grip stippling, but at least they fixed the horrible grip angle.
Rich White True!
In Aust we pay 135.bucks worth it.T800 Aust
I agree!
I’ve heard of Glock knifes but I had never seen one. Looks like a nice knife. I’m surprised you’ve been digging in the dirt with it... it’s held up well.
Fee_ Lo had some minor root cutting to do on a small rock garden we put in last summer. She held up well!

George LU I agree. It will work if called upon to do so.
I never knew they made a knife so pretty cool and thanks....Good stuff...
Scott F. Right on! They are cool knives and not too expensive, too!
Best thing is, the Glock 81 NEVER runs out of bullets 👍
This is true!
Liked it so much I had to buy another. Who can have just one Glock?
True!!
Solid video, I just ordered one
Right on!
This is going to be my next Glock👍🇺🇸
No background check!
@@travisp11 You know, I did not know this knife existed until this morning. By all accounts I have found it is a great value and like you say.....no background check😂👍🇺🇸
@@UncleDanBand64 Im not sure what they sell for now but I think they sell for around $40. They are definitely worth it!
Badass knife.
Happy owner here!
Right on!!
I'd be awsome if Armalite made one.. 🗡🔫
Chris Gibson I hear that!
Sure didn't know Glock made knives !!! Looks like pretty good knife, not a KABar but, good one.
Good video, 👍 thanks
God Bless
Lee Texas Yup! Thanks for watching!
Better than a Ka- Bar!
Nice ... Thanks .

@Perry Champ how did it hold up in Somalia?
Was that a Zima?
Jim Burgess Yup. Bought some in Dallas last summer!
🤣
why are some selling for $60 $70 bucks, while others sell for $25. why such a price difference from seller to seller.
Sometimes when supply runs low, people step up and mark up prices. I see this alot with electronics that have been discontinued like laptops and game systems. Some people have no idea what their item is worth but they list it at whatever price they want to.
@@travisp11 thank you for the response. Good review. i Picked up the 81 for $25. i want the 78 also but havent found one for sale yet.
GreaT price & knife good intel wanna aquire one soon
best knife ever!!
It is a great knife!
ZIMA that's funny haven't seen one of those in a long time(highschool)
It was back in production last summer. Some of it might still be out there on the shevles.
travisp11 I'm good on the ZIMA but good video I never new a glock knife existed might have to pick one up just because
W B Test it on a bottle of Zima and I guarantee the same result!
The round Glock logo is collectible? Haha we have tens of thousands of them here in the austrian army and we trash them on a daily basis by using them for digging, scraping...
On eBay they bring more.
Damn，it's over 70💲 in China
刁包子 ouch!
That's a cute toothpick
J Rods Sure is!
travisp11 would be nice if we didn't have those stupid 4" blade restrictions. never understood those laws
No, the Glock 67 will be or maybe the Glock 542 or maybe the iphone 34 or iPhone 73 or Glock 739
No, it will be the G19Y?. Yes, the "Y?" is written as being a question. I'm sure you can figure out y.
Rich White I bet it was dubbed that by a "Rabi named Travi, a.k.a. RabiTravi
No, no. Y comes after "X" and "Y?" do we need this. :D
When we're all in our 50s people will be searching under rocks for these.
Yup!
It looks like a safe queen, not even a scratch, are you sure this is a real review?
I had wiped the blade down with CLP prior to filming. It hasn't seen Bushcraft grade abuse but more for weekend camping and general cutting anytime im working on a project outdoors.
Just rip that clip off so you won't have to use both hands when you take your knife out...lol
True, but then there is no retention to keep the knife in the sheath.
@@travisp11 I was only kidding. Great vid by the way
@@railerz101 Its all good. Thanks for watching!
