The Glock FM-81 Survival Knife (A Budget Survival Blade for Alaska) 

Fun fact, the plastic cap ("pommel") hides a roughly 1,5 inch steel sleeve inside the grip, grab a stick and there you go, you have a spear. Hide some small nails in the grip to secure the stick to the knife by hammering the nails through the holes just below the pommel. I use the Glock knife for "rough" things, as a secondary knife.

The discontinued Glock 78 without the root saw back is better, if you can find one at a decent price, it's better as a fighting tool, than the Glock 81 saw-back. They are one of the most indestructible survival knives you can get.

I agree with you on this knife being in the category of a truck knife or in a motorcycle saddle bag. I chose the SRKs. One’s in my Jeep 24-7 The other in a saddlebag on my bike. Stay safe

I ground down 4 teeth at the guard for a striker steel, and a great reverse grip finger over guard hold for hard close cutting. I also ground a groove at the top of the false edge for a fire pot handle grabber. One of these hangs at the side of my off grid kitchen. I also reprofile a 17° edge for better cutting!

I like this knife for the price. Something you can hand out to someone who doesn’t have a knife, but needs one.

An absolutely childproof knife; short of irretrievable loss, it will take any child through and out of childhood, into adulthood.

I own a 78 model and I'm glad about it. Cause I hate that gimicky sawback. It has no functionality for me.

The sawback is not for cutting, it cuts only forward and his task is to create a larger wound when you stab , it has some friction when you go through the flesh, but no resistance when you pull out. For bushcraft/ survival tasks i'd choose the 78, for sd and combat the 81 model with the sawback

Worst knife I have ever used. Had it for 7 years, in the army. Can't keep an edge and rusts constantly. Using this as a survival knife, is for people who don't want to survive.

Reviewers who have only used a tool for a "QUICK MINUTE" should be banned from reviewing.

Its cool that it is made in Austria too.

Thanks for that fair review. I agree about having this as a backup knife. I would get it at that price. I always carry 3 different types of knives with me when I’m in the bush, at that size I wouldn’t have a problem with packing that Clock with me.

Thanks, i was thinking about Chris Reeves pacific because of your videos, but for now I’d to choose a smaller Falkniven NL5 Idun to be my first premium knife. Cheers from Brazil!

Good review ,thanks for sharing ,God bless !

Great honest assessment. I like the military style knives as general purpose / deer hunting use. By the way the cost is great! That price is a bottle of whisky in New Zealand 🇳🇿! I will take the knife over a bottle of whiskey! Go well Dave

Years ago, I had one of the original glock knives. It was "lost" when my belongings were being transferred to a new car (by the dealer's employees) and never recovered. It was a KNIFE, not a saw or multitool. I would buy another if I could find one with a straight spine. It should be noted, however, that the "saw" is intended to be used as a roof saw for digging fox holes. They were somewhat popular in South East Asia.

Very interesting review. My greetings from France🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

An insane tough knife

It's good value for the price, I'm a Glock Fan Boy, but they need to stick with guns! For a trunk knife, it will get you by in a pinch, but not my first choice by any means! Good review!
