I may pick one of these up for a camping trip later this year... It's definitely a good price, but I'd be concerned about the rusting that seems to be an issue with these guys. Although I could just as easily oil it, so I suppose the poing is moot.
@NickSparkss Rust?? Thats the least of your worries.. If you are looking for a porche of a knife your on the wrong Review. These knives are Plain, tough as nails get the job done without breaking and have seen combat all around the world.. My step Bro has one in currently in use in Helmand Provience, Afghanistan and loves it. 25.00 dollars can't beat the price. Check out the torture test video's it hang's with the best.
@hutningnola I'll be sure to check it out. I have a friend who took it on a week long backpacking trip and he said there was a pretty good buildup of rust on the cutting edge, but I'm not sure how well he maintains his blades.
If it's good enough for a soldier, I'm sure it'll be good enough for me. I'm definitely going to be picking one of these guys up, as you said, the price is amazing for what you get.
..you almost have to get it out one-handed because it´s on our old KAMPFANZUG 75 (BDU whatever..) it was strapped to your left shoulder so you just had to grab it..and stiffen your index finger to slide it between the lock and knive..tadaa! If its not on your shoulder but in your hand just slide your index finger between lock and knive and the sheath should fly away. I hope you understand what i want to tell you because my english is far from beeing perfect..
..i wanna see you choping wood with it while having the upper edge sharpened. It´s not a full-tang design as i have seen on x-ray pics and no i have never seen somebody breaking this knive. It is however very,very (!) sensible to moisture and has to be oiled all the time if you want to avoid rust (you have to see mine, not nice). The black finshing will go off very soon and when "naked" rust will replace it if not taken care properly. And btw there are manny ways to open it one-handed..
Because i served in the austrian army i had the "privilege" or curse to get one of these screwdrivers as we call them and i think in the whole army history this knive almost never has been used for cutting things but only for digging, opening windows, doors cans and boxes..and stuff and the fact that it gets handed out to millions of "kids" in the army brings me to the conclusion to not sharpen it comming out of stock. Your´s however is almost complete, cheap tac-dagger and..
You see, a tri-angular bayonet DID have an edge, though it wasn't nearly as effective as a straight blade when it came to slashing. However, a tri-angular knife's stab wound is nearly impossible to repair due to it's shape. It was so deadly, it actually got out-lawed (that's why the cold steel delta dart has no edge and is polymer
@lardtaziumwadmaster It might be harder because the round wound would be really clean. It's pure stabbing (so also less penetration) and those sharp edges make a huge difference. Also, the tri-angular shape would still be stronger.
just wanted to say about when you talked about the bayonet back in the 1800s with triangler blade in battle your correct about being stronger, but y they made it that way was also back in that time it was harder for pple to stitch the wound up. So by that they could only get one straight stitch to keep infection out while leaving the third wound open. In case causing infection and bacteria making for the third wound or slash not heal leading to death alot of times
nutnfancy, I really appreciate that you try to put so much time in informing possible buyers. You should however get some facts straigt. You start talking about spring steel not being the best in edge holding, obviously you're talking about 9260 spring steel, which, due to it's low carbon content isn't good in edge holding. The glock however is 1092 steel, with very high carbon content.
great review - but one thing. you do not need two hands to get the knife out of the sheath. it is pretty easy to pull the clip with your thumb or your forefinger and to draw the knive - particularly if you wear it on your shoulder upside down.
I bought and carried mine during my service in Germany and Kuwait in the early 90s. Great knife not a lot of money. I have the model 81 sawback and it works well. The knife is very easily unclipped using a thumb and forefinger. the sheath is useable either side important cause Im left handed. Glock made knives before they made guns..
@SputnikJunior They are so thick and the relief edge is so steep that I don't think that will do the trick.I put mine on my lansky system and it did pretty much nothing.
You will have to put it on a belt or something unfortunately.
@Solareffects I bought mine in a Gunshop in Vienna vor 30 bucks. Maybe this would be also a good place to look for you; if there are any shops of this kind in your area of course. Oh and on a sidenote, if you do get one, you really have to regrind the knive.
I saw a picture of somebody who had hacked open the handle, and it is not a full tang knife. it goes down about 2-3 inches with some holes for the polymer to fill. I currently own one, and i have not been disappointed so far. it is very light, and i don't think that the short tang would have any effect on the functionality at all, nor would it "pop out" when you use it.
great to see a video from one of my favorite reviewers on one of my favorite knives!!
But I have to tell you, that it is possible to draw it one handed. For to learn how you can watch my two vids about it, in them I also show how the handle looks under the X-Ray, so you can see how for the tang reaches into the handle.
Hey dude, i bought a second hand glock 78 but its totally dull, im not sure what angle of sharpening i should keep (what was it originally, because its hard to see now). Could you give me some advice on sharpening this knife?
hey nutnfancy, ive been going out practicing my bushcraft skills and i think i need a more serious knife, i really cant spend more than $50, which knife would be a choice for me?
@slackingFox the only problem I have with the SP10 is the handle, it seems a bit square-ish to me, and the flip at the bottom is to small and oddly shaped. I am comparing it the the Ka-Bar Kukri, Large Heavy Bowie, and cutlass handles, which I prefer for their roundness and large, full flip at the bottom. The SP10 is a great knife, and wonderful chopper though! I was able to chop through, 11 in. thick logs with ease! Which again brings me to the handle, which kind-of hurt my hand afterwards.
@TheEpochofWar I have fairly large hands, so the squareness doesn't particularly bother me. The little flip at the end was at first pretty rough on my pinky finger however, but i gave is some wrapping in tape (the handle flip, not my pinky ;) and its great. Im pretty convinced its one of the best for the money.
@slackingFox Yea, one of the best. I don't actually own one, but two of my friends do. The factory second is a good user. Its like only 32 bucks! thats nice.
@sonofsigns Do you want a large fixed blade? or something more small and managable? You could always check out factory seconds. They make great worker knives! especially for the price. Factory second means they may have been stamped wrong or something else that doesn't damage the working quality of the knife, though not for collecting they sure are reliable! (the ones I have seen) On Chestnut Ridge knife shop there is a Ontario SP10 (FS) for $32! thats a great deal. I think there is $7 shipping.
@TheEpochofWar , yeah a large fixed blade, something specifically good for batoning wood, i have a sog field pup and its great but not really big enough to properly baton wood and im hesitant as far as just picking up any old knife and im limited on funding. thanx for the suggestions ill check em out
@TheEpochofWar Chestnut Ridge Knife Shop has FS in the SP10 and the SP1, they are both great knives in my opinion. Really cheap too! you should get them soon, because I hear they are discontinuing them. This may not be true but they have already come out with the Gen II series. again, I love that site. Cold steel also has their own factory seconds on their site, but I don't think they have any cool knives on right now, this is of course in my opinion.
@sonofsigns Ok, well for some stupid reason it wouldn't let me post my long message.. There wasn't too many characters or anything. It said-'error, try again' over and over haha. so I had to reply to myself and it worked. just look at it haha.
I actually like this knife> I got a few at a local shop for 20 bucks a peice.. there now my beater knifes XD Havent managed to break any of em yet either.
@lukphonp I know, I was using the an allusion to Thor to express how much I think this knife kicks ass. And I'm not sure if Thor carries multiple hammers. I do know that he carried the Mjöllnir. I wear a necklace with a Celtic like designed pendant of the Mjöllnir. It was simply an allusion... but nice try.
How much is it? I know you must have said it at some point in the video, but I can't find it and I don't have the time to watch the whole video in it's entirety. Thanks
@dcvids123 But the truth is you should pay more for the 78. Serrations weaken the blade, and big ones like these can even affect the balance, which might not be a big deal when you are just holding the knife, but these knives seem to be made for throwing.
So, should I get the 78 or the 81? I don't like serrated or combo blades, but this one has a full plain edge, and serrations on the spine, and since it's not a batoning knife, it can't hurt, right? Looking for advice from both Nutn and from other viewers.
@Supermassively 78 if u dont like combo edge bro, the saw back on the 81 is more a ripping cut when stabbing with, rather than cut wood with, i perfer the 78 of the 2 the saw back is more looks than anything else. hope this helps
@eastofakron1 Its my laziness. There was an organized effort from a few other gun channels to downrate Nutn's vids (this was a long while ago, back when there was 1-5 star ratings), and we disabled ratings. I keep saying that I'm going to re-enable the ratings, but its like 500 vids..ugh. =/ -- Veri
@nutnfancy bayonets were also triangular because a triangular wound is harder to stitch up (an equalateral triangular wounds that is as opposed to an isosceles trangular wound wich has two longer sides wich can be brought together) lol sorry to be a dink but I'm a bit of a war history junkie.
@nutnfancy I don't understand how Nutnfancy could have any haters. He's an American hero (though I'm sure he'd never call himself that), a supporter of our Constitutional rights, a bold adventurer, and an all-around badass.
I think they're just jealous that he's accomplished so much. Then again, I am too, but I don't sit on YouTube being a Nutn-hater. :-\
Hi, I'm fairly new to knives (at least in the maintenance department) and I have a couple of questins and i would be thankful if you could help me.
Anyway I acquired a Glock 81 and the finish on the edge realy isn't good so I want to sharpen it, i've been trying to find just how, but didn't have luck. Did you sharpen it by hand or on a machine of any kind, and how?
My second question is what to use for oilng the knife so it doesn't rust? Can i use gun oil or are there special knife oils.
Watched this video last night but forgot to comment... I was just too tired. :P
I have one of these knives and it has it's limitations, but I use it as a beater knife for the most part, and it does what I need it to do. Good all around knife.
@szinyovszky agreed... put your index finger in front of the finger guard on the handle, depress the latch with thumb. lift knife with index finger past the latch and obtain the proper grip. i usually just "pop" mine free, let it rest in the sheath above the latch... the get proper grip. its not the most ideal design for a fighting knife, but then again, its not necessarily designed as a "fighting knife".
i asked on one of your other vids if you had one for a glock knife before i found this. do you have a vid of the knife in use? i need to just get mine out and use it to see how it works for me, but i'm still learning "knives" so i'm asking a lot of questions. but in your opinion? this would be ok for a lot of tasks? but maybe not for building a fire from scratch? (not good at the chopping that would be needed) so should i look into a kabar? or should i just add a small hatchet to my kit?
You can draw the knife with a single hand. Using finger snapping like motion to release the knife from the sheath. Index under level part of guard and thumb on top of release. Now snap--it pops up
The edge retention of that knife is not really that great, it's only a Rockwell of 55, you'd be better off spending a bit more for a SOG made from VG-10 for a survival/field knife. VG-10 steel is HIGHLY corrosion resistant, yet still has a Rockwell of around 59-60 which retains an edge much better than the knife you have there.
Honestly steel is everything. Good carbon steel > all but vg-10 is about the best you can get. no one makes a carbon steel knife anymore. AUS-8 is utter crap.
@THEHUNTER096 yeah i like cold steel and all but there knives are very expensive.
My glock gives me all i could ask for in a sturdy knife i could use for utility and self defence. I'm not afraid to throw it considering its such a cheap knife and its full tang so it won't break
@crazygunner12345 I have many of these knives and like them a lot, but they are not a full tang. Go to knifetests. com page 2 and they fully destroy a knife then cut the handle off.
@crazygunner12345 I am sure they are not full tang knives, but we can agree to disagree. Either way the handles are solid and will not come apart with anything short of a fire. These are great affordable knives.
@nutnfancy Wait, which one is nutnfancy? Was it the guy who demonstrated the Gerber axe? Because the guy talking in the videos has a different voice from that guy. I thought it was because of the proximity to the microphone and the difference between indoor/outdoor recording, but now you're saying "he" instead of "I".
In your profile, it says you want to avoid death threats. Why would anyone threaten you? You don't talk about politics or religion, or even Hollywood fashion...
Hey i have one question about the knife. How do you take off the little part on the back of the handle? It has two little holes and ive tried to put a little pin in one of the holes hoping that i could pry it open but i was afraid of breaking ruining the knife.
Picked one up in OD green the other day in Tennessee on my way back to Illinios. Got mine for $31.00 + tax. Its lighter than my K-Bar. Really like the retention device on the holster. Needs a good sharpening though. Can't wait to take it camping and see what it can do. Thanks Nutnfancy for the great vids you put out!! Keep it up!!
I used to own a model 81 but I gave it away. It's a combat knife with very limited utility capabilities. Too light for chopping, too thick for fine cutting, the saw is just in the way. The sheath is great for upside-down carry but the blade rattles in it. You can stuff cotton balls in it if you don't worry that it will soak water. The black coating gets scratched off very quickly and the blade is high carbon so it will rust. It's not really good for anything besides killing.
I just bought one of these knifes yesterday. I've never seen one before yesterday and I knew when I saw it that I had to have it. It's the model 81 in OD green. Haven't got to really use it yet. Hope to get a better edge on it though. Overall though a great feeling knife for $31.00. Thanks for the video!
FYI the Danish Troops we encountered in Afghanistan all carried this Knife. I was thankfully able to trade for one, and it has held up to some amazing abuse.
The Glock is of the same design of the SLR (FN-FAL) bayonet only a bit lighter, both are good knives & yes I do own a 78, as I went for the quality as well as strength; & as you say...a good all-rounder!
I'd still love to get a 1910 .303 Tiger pattern bayonet, hard as hell to get them nowadays here in Oz....by the way my knife cost me $99 but they do go for as little as $65 online but whatcha going to do when you want it now?! I've yet to put mine into use but I know that it will do the job!
@soldier14E honestly in my opinion they dont they are more field knives like nutnfancy stated they are more for either stabbing or tasks like cutting a tree for shelters or batoning etc. if you want a fightingor combat knife grab a kabar if you want a more workhorse knife that likes to take a beating go with the glock
(i currently own 4 2x78 and 2x 81 and love them to death )
@medicaster -- alloys are commodities and many such are of strategical value, resources per si. You should have a look on what happened to alloy productions during WWII to realize this. Best from Spain.
@clustergarde That all may be, but the person I was referring to was talking about 'natural resources' which steel isn't. Furthermore Glock Pistols are in service since the 1980s, so looking at WWII productions isn't helpful.
@cmoremotion then why has Colt been the offical United States Side Arm for nearly 70 years. from 1911-13 to aboutthe late 1970's. If Glock is so great, then why have we not adopted it? Why, beacuse it is not Steel. Glocks are nice. Colt's are quality.
@jfkdjfd first of all, Glock was introduced to the market in 1981 or so and calt was already in service, the 1911 is a great design but Colt is not the same it used to be, right now it's just name............I work at a gun store and see them come back all the time because they jam.....do you want a good 1911? then go Kimber, les bear, wilson, those are quality.
With regards to why Glock hasn't been adopted by our military, they require that their side arm has a manual safety, Glock said NO!!
can't disagree with you about Glock. it depends on the Colt you buy. But since you work ar a Gunstore and i hope it's not a Dunham's or Dicks. Cabela's or Gander Mountain would suffice. You do know more than i, since i just have a few years of experience about 5 or 6. God Bless America.
@jfkdjfd The colt has been the official sidearm because at the onset of WWI and WWII, the military pretty much had to be built up from scratch - there were massive orders on designs that had been tried and tested, to the extent that, in WWII, they procured 1.9 million pistols (this information has been proudly ripped off from stephi's blog post on 'American Semi-automatic pistols' by Rob )
@CubanRevival yes is do. i have a cheap .22 for squirrel hunting. it's very nice, lightweight, accurate, easy to work with, broken in. all for $230.00 My friend has a Ruger 10-22, French Walnut stock, just beautiful, absolutley gorgeous. It's quite new, he got it in Novermber of last year for $350.00. The trigger is absolutley horrendus. It takes forever to squeeze it, it is so long. Long meaning it takes lots of time. It has a Plastic trigger and plastic mechanisms, which is bad i a weapon.
I have that knife in black,they hold an edge fair,and is easy to sharpen once it does get dull,and in my opinion a fair fighting knife,not much for general servival.In all honesty for your hard earned money Id say go with the K-BAR fighting knife,its a better knife all away round.
@pidner I forgot to mention also the scales or grip in this case is slick as owl droppings I took 100 grit SP to mine,the reason its not a really great Knife is because its a bayonet and made for the end of a barrel.

@slackingFox the only problem I have with the SP10 is the handle, it seems a bit square-ish to me, and the flip at the bottom is to small and oddly shaped. I am comparing it the the Ka-Bar Kukri, Large Heavy Bowie, and cutlass handles, which I prefer for their roundness and large, full flip at the bottom. The SP10 is a great knife, and wonderful chopper though! I was able to chop through, 11 in. thick logs with ease! Which again brings me to the handle, which kind-of hurt my hand afterwards.
TheEpochofWar 1 year ago
@TheEpochofWar I have fairly large hands, so the squareness doesn't particularly bother me. The little flip at the end was at first pretty rough on my pinky finger however, but i gave is some wrapping in tape (the handle flip, not my pinky ;) and its great. Im pretty convinced its one of the best for the money.
slackingFox 1 year ago
@slackingFox Yea, one of the best. I don't actually own one, but two of my friends do. The factory second is a good user. Its like only 32 bucks! thats nice.
TheEpochofWar 1 year ago
@sonofsigns Do you want a large fixed blade? or something more small and managable? You could always check out factory seconds. They make great worker knives! especially for the price. Factory second means they may have been stamped wrong or something else that doesn't damage the working quality of the knife, though not for collecting they sure are reliable! (the ones I have seen) On Chestnut Ridge knife shop there is a Ontario SP10 (FS) for $32! thats a great deal. I think there is $7 shipping.
TheEpochofWar 1 year ago
@TheEpochofWar , yeah a large fixed blade, something specifically good for batoning wood, i have a sog field pup and its great but not really big enough to properly baton wood and im hesitant as far as just picking up any old knife and im limited on funding. thanx for the suggestions ill check em out

@TheEpochofWar Chestnut Ridge Knife Shop has FS in the SP10 and the SP1, they are both great knives in my opinion. Really cheap too! you should get them soon, because I hear they are discontinuing them. This may not be true but they have already come out with the Gen II series. again, I love that site.

30 for the straight edge(which is the more durable knife) and 35 for the serrated model. But I've seen them for 20 on websites based in the states.
Grungadin 1 year ago
@dcvids123 But the truth is you should pay more for the 78. Serrations weaken the blade, and big ones like these can even affect the balance, which might not be a big deal when you are just holding the knife, but these knives seem to be made for throwing.

So, should I get the 78 or the 81? I don't like serrated or combo blades, but this one has a full plain edge, and serrations on the spine, and since it's not a batoning knife, it can't hurt, right? Looking for advice from both Nutn and from other viewers.
Supermassively 1 year ago
@Supermassively 78 if u dont like combo edge bro, the saw back on the 81 is more a ripping cut when stabbing with, rather than cut wood with, i perfer the 78 of the 2 the saw back is more looks than anything else. hope this helps

Hi, I'm fairly new to knives (at least in the maintenance department) and I have a couple of questins and i would be thankful if you could help me.
Anyway I acquired a Glock 81 and the finish on the edge realy isn't good so I want to sharpen it, i've been trying to find just how, but didn't have luck. Did you sharpen it by hand or on a machine of any kind, and how?
My second question is what to use for oilng the knife so it doesn't rust? Can i use gun oil or are there special knife oils.

@szinyovszky agreed... put your index finger in front of the finger guard on the handle, depress the latch with thumb. lift knife with index finger past the latch and obtain the proper grip. i usually just "pop" mine free, let it rest in the sheath above the latch... the get proper grip. its not the most ideal design for a fighting knife, but then again, its not necessarily designed as a "fighting knife".

i asked on one of your other vids if you had one for a glock knife before i found this. do you have a vid of the knife in use? i need to just get mine out and use it to see how it works for me, but i'm still learning "knives" so i'm asking a lot of questions. but in your opinion? this would be ok for a lot of tasks? but maybe not for building a fire from scratch? (not good at the chopping that would be needed) so should i look into a kabar? or should i just add a small hatchet to my kit?
glockfan5193 1 year ago
You can draw the knife with a single hand. Using finger snapping like motion to release the knife from the sheath. Index under level part of guard and thumb on top of release. Now snap--it pops up

crazygunner12345 1 year ago
The edge retention of that knife is not really that great, it's only a Rockwell of 55, you'd be better off spending a bit more for a SOG made from VG-10 for a survival/field knife. VG-10 steel is HIGHLY corrosion resistant, yet still has a Rockwell of around 59-60 which retains an edge much better than the knife you have there.
Honestly steel is everything. Good carbon steel > all but vg-10 is about the best you can get. no one makes a carbon steel knife anymore. AUS-8 is utter crap.

Picked one up in OD green the other day in Tennessee on my way back to Illinios. Got mine for $31.00 + tax. Its lighter than my K-Bar. Really like the retention device on the holster.

SurefireEMT4YOU 1 year ago
I used to own a model 81 but I gave it away. It's a combat knife with very limited utility capabilities. Too light for chopping, too thick for fine cutting, the saw is just in the way. The sheath is great for upside-down carry but the blade rattles in it. You can stuff cotton balls in it if you don't worry that it will soak water. The black coating gets scratched off very quickly and the blade is high carbon so it will rust. It's not really good for anything besides killing.

I'd still love to get a 1910 .303 Tiger pattern bayonet, hard as hell to get them nowadays here in Oz....by the way my knife cost me $99 but they do go for as little as $65 online but whatcha going to do when you want it now?! I've yet to put mine into use but I know that it will do the job!

@jfkdjfd first of all, Glock was introduced to the market in 1981 or so and calt was already in service, the 1911 is a great design but Colt is not the same it used to be, right now it's just name............I work at a gun store and see them come back all the time because they jam.....do you want a good 1911? then go Kimber, les bear, wilson, those are quality.
With regards to why Glock hasn't been adopted by our military, they require that their side arm has a manual safety, Glock said NO!!

can't disagree with you about Glock. it depends on the Colt you buy. But since you work ar a Gunstore and i hope it's not a Dunham's or Dicks. Cabela's or Gander Mountain would suffice. You do know more than i, since i just have a few years of experience about 5 or 6. God Bless America.

@jfkdjfd The colt has been the official sidearm because at the onset of WWI and WWII, the military pretty much had to be built up from scratch - there were massive orders on designs that had been tried and tested, to the extent that, in WWII, they procured 1.9 million pistols (this information has been proudly ripped off from stephi's blog post on 'American Semi-automatic pistols' by Rob )
