Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Glock FM 81 differ from the FM 78 model?

The FM 81 has an integrated saw on the back of the blade. The FM 78 uses a similar basic construction, but the back of its blade is without a saw. The FM 81 is better suited for users who want to do simple sawing tasks with a single tool.

Is the green FM 81 technically different from the black version?

The main features, dimensions, blade material, and sheath construction are the same. The difference lies in the color of the handle and sheath. The green variant blends better with forest and hiking gear, but may be harder to spot in vegetation compared to a black or brightly colored knife.

Is the sheath included?

Yes. The knife comes with a Glock polymer sheath that keeps the knife securely fixed and allows it to be carried on a belt. Always check before moving that the knife is fully locked into the sheath.

How should the Glock FM 81 knife be maintained?

After use, clean and dry the blade. You can apply a thin layer of suitable knife oil to the cutting edge, especially after use in damp conditions. The knife is not recommended to be washed in a dishwasher. The back saw should be cleaned separately and should not be sharpened with a regular pull-through knife sharpener.

When is the green Glock FM 81 the right choice?

The Glock FM 81 is suitable for users seeking a simple and robust fixed-blade field knife and who want a back saw in addition to a cutting edge. The green handle and sheath pair well with hunting, military, and hiking equipment.

If you do not need a back saw, consider the Glock FM 78 model with a smoother blade back. For precise skinning, filleting, or fine woodwork, it is better to choose a specialized knife of the appropriate shape. For processing larger branches and firewood, a folding saw or axe is more effective than the FM 81's back saw.

Recommendation

We recommend the Glock FM 81 knife for users who appreciate a simple construction, a long fixed blade, and a polymer sheath that fits their gear. It is primarily a robust field tool, not a thin kitchen, filleting, or skinning knife. The back saw is a useful aid for smaller tasks but does not replace a proper hand saw for processing larger amounts of wood.

With the green version, it is advisable to attach a visible cord to the knife or sheath, as the subdued color can easily go unnoticed in tall grass or forest ground. Before your trip, check the sheath lock and belt attachment. After use in wet conditions, dry the blade and protect the cutting edge with a thin layer of oil. When sharpening, only work the knife's cutting edge at the appropriate angle and leave back saw maintenance to a file suited to its profile or a professional.

Robust green field knife with back saw

The Glock FM 81 combines a 165 mm spring steel blade, a strong back saw, and a durable polymer sheath. It is a practical choice for hiking, hunting gear, or an emergency kit when you need a simple and reliable fixed-blade knife.
