A lengthy video about Glock's field knives (part 3 of 3)

Glock 17 love it

Very cool video. I use my 78 for all kinds of chores on the farm. Rust has been an issue once, cleaned it up, kept the blade oiled and no more problems. Great knife. Tough blade.

[biguglygadgie]

[Ceferino619]

I thought the vid was cool, interesting, funny with a touch of boring lol. I think it was the table.. it needed a beer on it or something =). My Glock knife is one of my favorites, i just wish i could get a better edge on it. I guess i have to work on my sharpening skills.

I like the saw, it is functional and it is angled so that on a pierce attack it will rip on the way in but come out cleanly

[TheBertucciassassina]

What do you use to clean / protect the blade?

[ThatGuyFromAustria]

@TheBertucciassassina to clean I use any kind of mineral oil I have at hand, to protect the blade I just keep it as dry as I can, storing it with other metal tools.

That guy from Osterreich kicks ass!!

Its guys like him telling it like it is and taken no prisoners that make

You tube a nice place to be.

[1joshjosh1]

Thank you for your writing me A REAL DARLING.I have a real Austrian army

issu knife on the way,no made in Austria stuff, just that triangle thing you see on Austrian military aircraft and a few numbers.No cutting food with it then.

Great info,thanks.I always prefer the real deal,not much into civy stuff like cold steel or spyderco.Can t tell you were I am getting it from,Austrian secret!!!!

[ThatGuyFromAustria]

@1joshjosh1, well, then I hope you enjoy my Tremulous related channel as well ;-) And, sorry to disappoint you, but I actually know how "the real stuff" can be obtained, I know a lot of people who can help out with stuff either. However, I'm glad I could help you, and as long as you have those minimum maintenance standards, this knife, btw, I just looked it up, the surface treatment is called "phosphate conversion coating", I don't know how (un)healthy this is, probably read about it yourself.

[TheKampfteddy6]

@ThatGuyFromAustria

its not unhealthy at all. its just phosphate, also often used in toothpaste and stuff

[TheKampfteddy6]

@TheKampfteddy6

am rande, du hörst dich ein bisschen an wie christoph waltz :)

[1joshjosh1]

Alright That guy from Austria,now I have 2 Glock 78 feldmesser.

Its your fault so help me out and write me.

I need to know what the differance is between the civilian and Austrian army

Glock 78 knifes are.I have one of each.You said something about phosphorous?

Thank you for you videos and time.

[aRealDarling]

@1joshjosh1, the army-issue knives have are posphorilized, they have a kind of reddish/brownish coating which makes them a bit more resilient, and they don't have a Glock logo, but a triangle stamped on them. The army issue knives are usually not for sale, because the phosphor stuff is not exactly healthy if ingested (wont kill you, but, as I said, it's not healthy), I wonder if you really were able to buy such a knife, I find it unlikely.

[1joshjosh1]

I am glad you made a comment about disipline in a professional army.I served

in the Canadian army and the only thing I feared more than a angry platton commander was an angry platton commander who just found rust on my kit.

Like whitethronebooks comment said 'all it takes is a little oil'.

Thank you for a great video.I just ordered a model 78 for myself.

[dilbertfungoing]

Very interesting, great videos! I appreciate the extra bit of knowledge about these knives. :-)

[Schlumpfelch]

schönes review

hab selber ein FM 81 seit vielen jahren und bin sehr zufrieden damit. auch wenn die säge hin und wieder nervt

wenn ich mal zu viel geld habe wird auf jeden fall ein 78er herkommen.

aber mal ehrlich: auch ohne kapselheber krigt ein österreicher sein bier auf mit dem messer - oder nicht? ;)

[ThatGuyFromAustria]

@Schlumpfelch, oh, natürlich, nur ist es ein interessantes „Merkmal“. Französische Überlebensmesser würden wohl einen integrierten Korkenzieher haben ;-)

[Boros777]

Super rewiew!!!

Jez kauf ich's mir auf jedenfall...

Wieviel kostets in Österreich? Vllt muss ich ja dann mal wieder verreisen^^

[ThatGuyFromAustria]

@Boros777: Die Dinger solltest du auch bei dir zu Hause in so ziemlich jedem Schneidwarengeschäft kriegen, KAUF KEINE NACHBAUTEN, die sind Dreck, Preis sollte €40 nicht übersteigen, angeblich hat man die Dinger schon um 25.- gesehen (ich hab mir meine damals noch um je ein paar hundert Schilling gekauft). Wennst ein 78er haben willst, und keines findest, schreib mich an, dann schick ich dir eins. Die sind mitunter schwer zu kriegen.

[whitethronebooks]

I, also, am annoyed at people who gripe about carbon steel knives rusting. All it takes is a little oil -- some regular maintenance -- to prevent rust. None of my firearms or knives have ever rusted. Unless I am trapped in the humid South Pacific in a war (as the U.S. Marines were in WWII), I should have no trouble keeping rust at bay, unless I am a lazy couch potato.

[brotherlukeministry]

Great series! I have a Glock 78. One thing I love about it is if you take the handle cap out, you can get a very straight thin limb, whittle it down at about 1 1/2 inches from the end and put it in the handle hole. It makes a really good spear. For those who don't throw knives well, making it a spear is a good option. And if you live in wilderness areas w/ dangerous animals, you can add the Glock to the top of a walking stick w/ the sheath and use it as a spear if attacked by dogs, etc:)
