Knives: a personal thing, but essential kit.

Weather you are camping,fishing or soldiering in the field or on operations a decent knife is a must have. This isn't really a article about what's best for a fighting knife. It's more of a personal insight into a specific knife I have used in the past that I see as a good all rounder. 

The knife in question is the Glock fighting knife. This knife for a fixed blade is in my humble opinion is the Rolls Royce of knives. Let's start with the price I bought it four years ago from UKMC in Portsmouth for £24.99 and that's still the price today! The handle and case are of polymer construction and come in tan, black and green. The blade is adonized in black and has two options for having a saw on the blade or not. I chose the saw feature as I was planning to use this in Kenya a few weeks later. Furthermore a handy little feature is a bottle opener in the hand guard which is useful for the pop sold in the CSM's clacky wagon. There has only been one down side to this knife and that's the scabbard. Fixing it to a beltkit or a MOLLE system is pretty hard. But I'm sure if you find a MOLLE knife sleeve from a other maker it will fit like a dream. 

In conclusion I feel if your looking for that good all round field knife for a decent price, you should consider the Glock combat knife. Get it from UKMC in Portsmouth as I haven't found a cheaper one online. And if this isn't the knife for you they have a ton of others that may pick your interest.
