I've had several, normally gifted by well meaning friends and family..and gifted onwards quite quickly!
They try to be a jack of all but don't really cut it (pardon the pun) in any respect IMHO!

A reason for me to stop trying then! Cheers

They're army issued in Denmark. According to a good friend of mine they're not good for anything but breaking windows and opening ammo-boxes...
USMCPRO sell them pretty cheap
USMCPRO may well sell them cheap, but not as cheap as i got one !.

I had one, it's a crowbar first, knife second.
More like a bayonet, not really any use so I sold it pretty quickly.

The one i have, is slightly different, its green plastic and does'nt have the saw back blade. I don't realy have a use for it, so if you want it fluffy, let me know.

Aye they come in a plain spine version and in green and also a sand colour IIRC.
Thats interesting to know rapid, thanks. No reply from fluffy, so if anyone else would like to have a play/add to a collection, pm me(its free, as i did'nt pay for it).

I'm not always here, honest!
I'll Pm you for it, ta.
(what can I try it against? The Mule perhaps? Or some sad quasi military stuff I bought very cheaply from the bay some time ago? Pre BB)
Looks like your in luck fluffy, as yellowhammer has got first dibs, and promises to let you have a play, have fun fella's.
Thanks for the rep folks, its much needed !.:)

I might let you have a look at it, if you're good. Or if you let me have a look at your Mule.
I'm a bit tired today - is it me, or does that just sound rude?
Very!
But it is a very nice Mule.:)
Resurrection time!
Ian dropped this off and I was going to do a bit of a test against a few other toys.
They all failed the "My Gawd, this is blunt" test though, so instead of blunting them off I thought I'd like to sharpen this one up instead.
... took me a while and there was a bit of steel loss so I probably owe Dogman a new knife because this one is decidedly thinner at the edge than it was.
I pinched an idea from The General, holding a very abrasive lump against the rod in the sharpmaker and finally managed to get te edge down to a usable 40 degrees from the Sixty it came with. Next time I'll buy a belt grinder.
Tough metal. Cuts nicely now.

Mine departed as a gift to an friend when I left Zimbabwe. They are sharp prybars, the hilt can open bottles. I used it for throwing and general camping. Since I have SOG throwers and some many camp knives I have not replaced the G81.

The bottle opener works really well.
I had one whilst in QA's some years ago, sold it by a local gunsmith.
Had to get the local mechanic to put it on his abrasive wheel to get an edge:mad:, awful thing to sharpen either at home or in the field. Saw complete rubbish
This soon rusted despite taking care of it:mad:
Gifted it to a colleague on leaving, not very good except for impressing gullible junior new recruitsand upsetting the CO, he didn't like nurses with knives:D
Would never buy one again
Take care

What did you use it ?, was it frighting the new recruits so the took their meds ?.

I'm still looking for the 'Glock' knife I used a few years ago if anone knows which one I mean. It looked like a Glock Field knife except the handle was silver and it was actually very sharp and stayed that way after my fooling around it with for a day. The guy who lent it to me said it was made by another German manufacturer but I forget which one. Any idea?

Used it to dig holes and other forms of abuse, great for impressing youngsters though, looked the part ;)
No good as a knife, just not sharp enough
used a 1st gen delica for cutting jobs
Gave all my kit to a mate when I left
Take care
