Glock Field Knife 81 - FM81

Description

The Glock FM 81 is a large military knife with a fixed head, which, thanks to its durability and functionality, will come down perfectly in survival and hiking applications.

The FM81 is an improved version of the FM78 knife, enhanced with an additional serrated blade on the comb of the blade.

The Glock knife series was developed in 1975 by the Austrian Glock company . Just a year later in 1976, it became the official assault knife of the Austrian army. To this day, it is continuously on the equipment of many units around the world (including the Polish army). Now a legend, it is eagerly purchased by soldiers as well as civilians.

The Glock 81 is simple in design, well-balanced and extremely durable. The head is made of thick blackened stainless steel. On the upper part of the blade is a very effective double-edged saw, allowing to cut through even a thick branch. The handle is made of hard polymer the same one used for Glock pistols.

The metal hilt protects the hand from sliding uncontrollably onto the blade. One side of the hilt serves as a bottle opener. The scabbard is made of the same polymer as the handle. It has a strong clip that will not allow the knife to slip out. The belt buckle is designed to fasten quickly without weaving through the entire belt. Recommended for survival outings and for collectors.

Military knife with wood saw

The knife has a hidden-tang design that combines strength, lightness and comfort. The narrow clip-point profile blade was created from spring steel hardened to about 55 HRC. The weaker retention (ability to stay sharp) is perfectly compensated by the ease of sharpening, so we can sharpen the blade in the field with an ordinary pocket sharpener. A phosphate coating was applied to the entire surface of the blade, which protects against corrosion and prevents reflection. On the upper part of the blade there is a false blade for increased penetration and a saw blade with alternating teeth, which can perfectly handle cutting wood, bone, rope, and plastic.

Polymer handle with double-sided hilt

The handle is made of the same polymer used by the Austrian company to manufacture the skeletons of Glock combat pistols. This plastic absorbs shocks well and is non-slip, which, combined with the contoured shape of the handle, provides a comfortable and secure grip. There is a hole in the back of the handle that allows you to weave in a safety line. The knife uses a forged steel hilt on both sides, which protects the hand from slipping on the blade. In addition, the curved part of the hilt can be used as a bottle opener or a ramp for the thumb when planing.

Polymer sheath with locking mechanism

To carry the knife, there is a simple polymer sheath with a versatile mounting system that allows the knife to be attached to a belt (using a belt loop), at a vest, and on a mount. A simple spring-loaded safety locks the knife when inserted into the scabbard and allows for quick retrieval. The locking mechanism is located in such a place that when the handle is grasped, the safety is automatically deactivated. One of the biggest advantages of the sheath, is the ability to slide the blade in both directions, which increases convenience for right- and left-handed people. Additional functionality of the sheath is provided by a rope hole and a drainage hole for draining water.
