For this price, it’s hard to find a better knife of this kind. Very good handle made from Glock polymer. A nice touch with the bottle opener. The only problem I see is the difficulty of releasing the knife from the sheath with one hand, but it's not too bothersome.

I bought a Glock, even though I have plenty of other, better knives, but I just wanted to have something "typically military." I’m generally satisfied – the Glock is a good and very solid knife, especially for that kind of money. Maybe it’s not the best knife for kitchen work or woodworking, but you can do everything with it, better or worse.
-
Very solid and durable. Simple, proven design, fits well in the hand and provides a secure grip. The blade handles heavier tasks, perfect for the outdoors and use in tough conditions.
-
I am satisfied with the purchase. For this price, I recommend it. A solid knife, fits well in the hand, not too heavy, not too light. Sharp, almost resembles a bayonet. Very fast shipping.
-
I bought the knife more for my collection than for use, although in practical terms it's also great. The knife arrived sharp and cuts paper without any problem. I hope I'll be satisfied with it when I use it; for now, it stays on the shelf.

The Glock FM78 Black military knife is a solid, proven design valued by services and outdoor users. The durable blade, secure grip, and simple form make it great for survival, trekking, bushcraft, and tactical tasks. This is a tool made for hard work in the field, not for display – reliable, functional, and ready for tough conditions.
-
Great bayonet, resistant to breakage, edge retention at a decent level, but it's a trade-off—the resistance to impacts and breaking is more important than edge holding.
-
A high-quality long combat knife made of materials that make it a very useful tool for survival, mountain expeditions, or tactical operations. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended product.
-
Very sturdy little knife, fits well in the hand, the blade keeps its sharpness, not too heavy nor too light. For a beginner in survival it's a good choice. I recommend it.
-
A decent tool, although compared to the Polish wz.92 knife, it looks quite modest. However, for the money, it’s OK. The main drawback of the set is that it’s difficult to pull out of the sheath with one hand. On the other hand, I’m delighted with the order fulfillment. I ordered on Friday at 19:00, and on Saturday at 12:15 the package was already in the parcel locker (weekend parcel option).
-
A solid knife that's practically indestructible; I would say it's like a tactical Mora. The set includes a sturdy plastic sheath that clicks securely and holds the knife firmly—there's no way the knife will fall out. The price is reasonable.
-
Wonderful multifunctional tool. Very good cutting properties. It’s really easy to sharpen, we'll see how long it stays sharp, but I am convinced it will be long enough. It fits the hand perfectly, the grip is well profiled.
-
Works great as a throwing knife, especially if you're interested in "instinctive" techniques—no spin, or even dart—much better than many dedicated throwing knives.
-
Great, classic military knife! The Glock FM78 Black is light, durable and well balanced. Ideal for everyday use in the field and for heavier tasks.
-
The knife looks very good and solid. Good finishing, matches the description. The shipment arrived quickly, without any issues—everything went smoothly.
