Glock Knifes are great I have two, you'll be very impressed when you buy it, but hey it's made by glock, so what do you expect? Also I read a review of the glock shovel in the 2012 Glock Autopistols magazine, they author said nothing but great things about it, they also did a review on the knife also in which they had an owner praise the knife. Check out the magazine if you'd like, it was only $5.99 and the article is on pg. 55-57 and was written by Mark Kakkuri.
