Images of the current used Austrian "Feldmesser 78"
The "FM78" also was in use in the famous German "GSG 9", ("Grenzschutz-Gruppe 9").
The Austrian "Jagdkommando", ("Hunting-commando"), aka "snake-eater´s", also the "EKdo Cobra", (Einsatz-Kommando "Cobra"), of the Department of the Interior, (this is the Austrian SWAT-unit), use this knife.
Here´s the "Feldmesser 81", (the "Sawback-version" of the "FM 78" ... ):
Also this knife former was in use in the German "GSG 9" !
The "Green" "FM81" is in official use in the "Edok", ("Cobra").
In this unit are private purchased examples of this knife, made of black Polymer, in use also !
"Sonder-Einsatzgruppen der Österreichischen Landesgendarmerie-Kommando´s", (Special Alert-Team´s of the Austrian Federal States, f.e. of Salzburg, Tyrol, Vienna, ...), also used the "Green" "FM 81".
(the "SdEGrp.d.Österr.Lds.Gend.Kd´s" meanwhile "retired") ...
There´e also tan Polymer "Glock´s" in use in Austrian UN-unit´s.
P.S.:
If you´ll get one of this danish knive´s in the future again, I´ll offer five used Bundesheer-GLOCK´s, (Austrian Army-issued and not commercial´s !), for a swap, OK ?
Some day´s ago I received some, (heavilly used ), Austrian Army issued "GLOCK Feldmesser 78".
Two knive´s are still showin´ it´s reddish finish, one of the knive´s show´s the blackened blade and, (at one of the combat-knive´s), you can recognize, that you don´t can recognize any finish on the blade ...
It was wiped away by the soldier ...
IMO the "FM 78" is a very "usable" combat-knife !
The "FM 78" was also made as "commercial", (p.E. by Eick.).
Genuine Army-issued knive´s are more collectable ! ...
