Field Knife 78 | Black | Glock – Robust bushcraft knife for outdoor adventures

The Glock Field Knife 78 is a sturdy bushcraft knife from Austria that is highly practical for use in nature. This knife combines a sharp plain-edge cutting edge with the versatility of a clippoint blade shape. With its blade length of 16.5 cm and solid polymer handle, this field knife offers the reliability you expect from Glock.

Experience from the Shogun team

We tested this knife during a weekend in the woods while gathering kindling. The balance felt right from the start, even after hours of work. The knife remained comfortable to hold in cold conditions thanks to the textured handle.

Performance and sharpness of this bushcraft knife

The blade made of Federstahl with a hardness of 55 HRC stays reasonably sharp for a long time. This steel is softer than premium grades but therefore easier to resharpen. The clippoint shape allows for precise work and cuts smoothly through rope, wood, and food. The blade thickness of 0.5 cm provides strength without making the knife cumbersome.

Grip and ease of use

The polymer handle – the same material as Glock pistols – offers an ergonomic grip. At 202 grams, the knife feels well balanced. The absence of an opening mechanism is logical for this fixed blade knife. The included polymer sheath keeps the blade securely in place.

Who is this bushcraft knife suitable for?

This field knife is perfect for beginner bushcrafters looking for a reliable work knife without a premium price tag. Experienced outdoor enthusiasts seeking a solid second knife will also find a match here. Ideal for weekend campers and practical nature lovers who value durability.

Maintenance and durability

The Federstahl requires a bit more care than stainless steel – keeping it dry and regularly oiling prevents rust. The hardness of 55 HRC means more frequent sharpening, but this is easy to do. The black blade finish offers extra protection against corrosion.
