Very sharp, handy, fits well in the hand. Lightweight. In a nice color. A versatile knife, but not for heavy work. The materials used ensure it will last a long time.

This is my second review after another year of use. The knife is a good bushcraft tool. However, during some camp tasks, you need to be careful not to break it. The long and relatively narrow blade isn't as durable for bending as typical camp knives, but it's a military knife—more for combat than woodworking. Highly recommended as a general-purpose knife.

Knife bought as a gift for a friend who is satisfied with it, personally I have the same model, just in a different color, and the only drawback is the paint wears off with heavy use, but that happens with most knives regardless of brand.

The Glock FM81 is a solid piece of knife! Sharp, durable, and with a sturdy saw on the spine. Fits perfectly in the hand, works well in the field and for tougher tasks. Awesome equipment!
-
Looks great, cuts like crazy and is easy to sharpen. The handle and sheath are made from the same material as Glock pistols so you can be confident here too!

Knives from Glock are probably my number 1 when it comes to a knife for the forest. I’ve tried many models and this one is unbeatable. The quality, durability to price ratio is excellent. Plus, a great sheath that holds the knife firmly. I'm very impressed.
-
I have several much better knives in terms of features and parameters, but at this promotional price (for club members) it’s a great deal, no reason to hesitate. The FM81 is a classic, the saw version, overall decent quality. The Flat Dark Earth version is quite cool. I recommend both the product and the store.

Nice price, affordable, version with a saw, high-quality materials and workmanship on the knife... must have... Flat Dark Earth color is pleasant... recommended.

Legendary knife, this is my second one, my first is a model 78 from early production for the Austrian army, used for years for camp work and it's indestructible. I hope the modern one is as good. I bought the model 81 because of the saw, which is useful in the field. I like the possibility of personalization. The engraving looks great. Pros: 1) practical sheath (reliable securing of the knife, also for left-handed users, possibility to put it on a belt without threading, easy to draw), 2) comfortable and secure handle, 3) solid construction, 4) attractive price, 5) practical saw, 6) appearance. Con: 1) The factory sharpened edge on my copy was rather dull.
-
Price, quality 10/10, highly recommended for 'Sunday' camping, works great, I recommend it. A bit more expensive than the Mora, but also much more durable. Highly recommended.

A knife designed for military use is to some extent a universal tool. I use it for bushcraft as a camp knife. It does pretty well in this role, but you need to be aware of its limitations. The narrow blade won't withstand as much stress as, for example, an ESEE 5 or Kabar BK2. For about 200 PLN, I can honestly recommend the knife. The store as well.

The Austrian Glock 87 knife is a solid and durable tool. Made from high-quality steel, it provides reliability. Its tactical design meets the needs of professionals and outdoor enthusiasts. The ergonomic handle ensures a secure grip. The Glock 87 combines durability with functionality in an elegant, tactical form.
-
The company probably doesn't need advertising. It's a classic. Excellent knife. I can confidently recommend it for survival as well as, above all, for duty. Promotion is a plus.
-
Great knife! I bought one at the full product price and used it for everything! As soon as I saw a discount, I bought another one! Definitely my favorite in the entire collection, which I use for every job!
-
Good knife, bought during a good promotion. This knife is like the Mora in the world of tactical knives. It may not be made from the best steel and materials, but at this price, it's hard to find anything better. A big plus is the sheath, made from hard material. You can carry the knife in it on both the left and right side, as well as upside down.
