I've had a Glock field knife FM 81 since the mid 1980s. It's surely very robust and has never let me down. BTW: The hand guard also serves as a great bottle opener (just in case you missed that bit that in the video). 😁

Magazine pouch on the sheath? That is for a sharpening stone. You lost me at that. The M9 was/is/and will always be a piece of crap.

Voiceover sounds like it was recorded inside a torpedo tube.

I was a US Army Infantryman and later an Infantry Officer (2004-2014). LIterally the only time I ever saw these was when we had Division Parades and Change of Command Inventories. They're too large to be used in the field and not worth the hassle of issuing them out when soldiers would lose or break them.

My platoon broke 9 of these on our first bayonet assualt course at the School of Infantry. Broke off at the tang near the handle but some snapped off half way along the blade. I think we got the M7 issued instead. The only usefull purpose I ever had for them was sticking it into the ground at a angle and putting the handle of a cups canteen through the muzzle ring, using the serrations as notch to keep it in place while i brewed up. They were a totally shithouse bayonet and why Australia didnt just reissue a tonne of M7's that fitted the F88 perfectly fine or use the standard AUG bayonet mystifys me to this day

No knife should be asked to do this...not a realistic scenario. Buck is plenty tough for daily, normal use

Heckler & Koch make good knives too. Although Smith and Wesson knives aren't great

Does Glock make soap?

There are plenty of UA-cam videos demonstrating that the m9 tang is quite strong actually, better than the kabar which actually has a longer tang

When I was in the Marines we used a KBAR bayonet pretty good knife gets stuck in shit

Dumbest thing I ever saw

"Jack of all trades Master of none"

"Despised "? Uh... no. I carried one during Desert Storm, and while it was not my favorite? I didn't despise it at all. I usually had mine attached to my ALICE pack where I could get it if I needed it. I say mine, because it is. A Buck Phrobis III that I bought myself. The USAF didn't issue bayonets, but I was a Combat Engineer (yes, the Air Force has them), and I felt I needed one. Still have it, too; 'cause, hey - you never know... But, on my web gear, I carried the knife that I carried for most of my career; a Camillus-made USAF Pilot's Survival Knife. Light; but big enough for serious social work; wicked saw teeth that REALLY work; easy to sharpen (and takes an edge like a razor blade); and that will hold that edge unless you abuse it - like, say, using it as a tent peg - or a surveying stake. Which I've done... well, more than once. Still own that one, too. I always thought of my M9 as more of a big camp/survival knife than a bayonet. Like the big Buck model 124 Bowie knife that I carried for years, hunting large animals in the mountains. The M9 probably isn't the best "pure" bayonet ever made. But, I wouldn't call it "detestable" either...

Modern bolts are too hard, try using aluminum, brass or copper if it's all you have, i use thick gauge aluminum to test my knives too see if the burr is completely removed and the steel can take it, I've tested 20cv/m390, rex45, cruwear/zwear, m4, s110v, s90v, k390, cpm3v, cpm4v, s30v, s35vn, s45vn, d2, 154cm, and a whole host of other steel from mainly Spyderco, but also others, none of them ever have a problem, never tried my buck knives or other steel i have though, never tried old or really cheap steel though

I got one of these during a Glock Day sale at my local range (got one as bonus for my Glock 19 purchase).

Ive got one of the original prototype LanCay models, and it does dig shit holes when I go hiking, so it gets 5 stars in my book

Made in china 🇨🇳?

If it's nae full tang, it's shite.

The universal yardstick of multi-tools is the more functions it has the less ideal it becomes for each function. If anyone has ever been through the ARMY's "Bayonet School" they can tell you how clumsy this thing is.

Only thing that was a real problem is its not full tang blade all the other complaints are miniscule.

I always use my beyonette to open my Jarritos 👌

y tho. why not just have a knife that works as a knife and a gun that works as a gun. instead this is a really really heavy knife that obviously doesnt really work as a gun past melee range anyway.

Only during GW1 did I carry a M9, no good as a bayonet as my M16A2 also had a M203 attached (they interfere with each other) Later, during the War on Terror carried the lighter M7 that I bought.

I am kinda overwhelmed. Where to begin. So for starters, if I want a 'swiss army knife' then guess what, I get a swiss army knife. If I need a bayonet it should have two functions: Beeing able to pierce people and getting fastened on a rifle in case my sarge snaps. About looking scary I am really unsure. You mean for the event said assasinee asks St Peter what send him here and Peter answers: 'it was this knife, quite scary huh?' because if the other person can observe the knife for long enough to get the impression it looked "scawwy" he or she will shoot you in the face, end of story.

In 1987, our Battalion CSM actually ran onto the assault course at Fort Ord to tell us that bayonet training was cancelled. We found out later that day 8-12 bayonets broke in the first wave of soldiers going through the course. We would have preferred to leave them in the arms room. Everyone carried a pocket knife. Every squad had wire cutters. The Achilles heal of the M9 was the blade was prone to break.

I can see one large, roughly oval shaped reason. How hard is it to make a metal spike with a sharp edge?!?! probably a lot harder if some idiot who has never used a melee weapon in their life insists that it also needs to be a bottle opener and a wire cutter, but it being a full tang knife is somehow negotiable lol.

OKC3S is goat

one of the things I like about these are the classic look (same reason I like Opinels, though I know these Bucks are a LOT more rugged)...they just have that "Look what I found in Grandpa'a old tackle box!" vibe to them.

1:10 "We heard you like scopes...so we put a scope on your scope, so you can scope when you scope."

First time I hear about this. Bayonets have to be dull? I guess guns shouldn't be loaded with bullets for combat then.

Why on gods earth would any military want a serrated knife.

The original intention of the threaded tang and the connecting rod, as stated in the patent files, is so that the rod can bend and flex, so it can obsorb shock and horizontal stress from any prying motion. The extra leverage when the bayonet is fixed to a rifle was a major concern. In theory this can prevent the blade from breaking, and gives the knife a stronger structure. But in reality, this practice is dubious at best. Though quality M9 bayonets do stand up for a lot of punishment, this construction requires a lot careful heat treat and better material. Most M9 clones would fail right at the thread even after light shock.

I bought a M9 as just a collector's piece to go with my AR and I wodered why besides being heavy which I tend to like in my knives it still felt odd in my hand. That threaded tang design has now instantly regulated it to the "display only" part of the collection.

ok, ok, i own a few and maybe a few gerber mk ii, i, guardian 1 and 2 , ect. ...but not because any video game i was a kid in the 80s , so many cool knives in movies, tv, everywhere. but, it seems to me those guys were snorting lines off bullet proof clipboards and watching rambo, one thing led to another...boom mil contract $$$ and our troops got ''2 pound stabby hammer prybar thingy you cat stick on your m4''. good times.

Quite frankly, I personally think ditch bayonets entirely as they don’t prove to be as useful as they did because they had every reason to exist during Vietnam and *back.* *But… but,* before you jabber off about how wrong I am. I want to tell you how a bayonet *should* be. Personally, I think it should have ahard steel, solid half-circle notch as close to that tip as you can so that you can cut wires without dulling or destroying the blade itself, I also believe the blade should be more narrow and a little longer for more penetration, as for the serrations on the back, I think it’s fine as the German “butchers blade” had the same thing and proved to be quite intimidating to most. I also think the bayonet should just be constructed based on the Mauser 98 bayonet as a whole considering that was historically reliable, effective and strong. The M9 bayonet is just as silly as it looks and is fucking useless.

Bro the M7 air survival knife is worth the money. Things a tad smaller then the regular styles but just as well made from OKC brand. Got it for my girlfriend to poke meth heads away with..

This glock knife is overrated by someone who doesn't understand knives. It won't hold a candle to my electric powered hedgetrimmers, which are brwtal against the jungle of briars and brush, for sheer cutting power. And it sure won't hold a candle to my lawn mower mowing blades both push lawnmower and riding. Anything that goes into them gets brwtalized. You might cut a few things with that Glock knife in it's life time, but my hedgetrimmer and mower blades will cut... billions.

Enjoy these type of videos. Would like to know more bout knifes on space missions

The US Military that also gave us the failed ACU Digicam pattern, the utter garbage new SIG M17/18 (along with a bunch of other SIG garbage they bought contracts with), and the M14 (instead of adopting the FAL)... among others. It's DOLLAR signs that matter to military procurement not quality, function or capability.

You completely glossed over how the M9 got that "Exaggerated Buckmaster sawback." The first time you mention that as part of the M9 is at 9:05. Before then you mentioned the Buckmaster sawback only within the context of the Buckmaster itself.

I have a model 81. Dove with me throughtout 22 years of Commercial Deep Diving. Demanded attention for sharpness, cleanliness, and nothing more. I still have her.

Bolts have many different Hardness scale

That is a beautiful knife!

55 rockwell is the same hardness as the cheapest knives at the dollar store.

The knife was critical. If you read the book "Glock" about the history of the gun, Glock was walking in the corridors of the defense ministry on his way to a meeting when he overheard two officers talking about pistol trials. He asked to put in a contender and was allowed to despite never making firearms before because of his knives.

Austria has never used a bayonet on the AUG because it has no lug to fit it to.

Hold up. It has little to no tang, relying on a screw pipe to hold the blade. But how did it passed the army's test? Surely they did some prying test? Or was the standard for their prying test very low?

I have this Spanish bayonet I found in 2006 and I’ve had it since it has a serial number and a stamp with the name Toledo. I just looked it up and that’s how I found out what it was. Of course I’ll never use it but I forgot I had it.

Idk I kinda like mine.. it’s a decent knife. But I use it as a work knife.
