Product Description

The Glock Field Knife is an excellent knife. There are many thousands in use around the world for good reason. The biggest complaint that most users have is the included sheath. It lacks various mounting options, is difficult to take out, and for some make too much noise.

The Ares Tactical Glock Knife Sheath for the Glock M78 and M81 Field Knife solves these problems. We built a two piece sheath, sometimes called a pancake because of the layers looking like a stack of flapjacks. This design allow for many different mounting options. If you are wanting a molle clip, closed belt loop, IWB soft loop, or Ulticlip we have it for you. Attachment options are selected in the OPTIONS section below.

The second most complained about problem with the factory knife sheath is the knife is too difficult to take out. This is especially true if you are wearing gloves. Knife retention is the most difficult issue to solve for a sheath. Too loose and you know that knife will probably be lost in the woods somewhere. To tight like the factory and you struggle to release it when you need it most. What the Ares Tactical Glock Knife Sheath has done is designed a sheath that locks in place but can easily be removed when you grip the handle and press the back locking tab. For those only wanting a friction fit that is an option.

Another benefit of our design is the opening gives you more than a 50% increase in the opening at the top. This will make it easier to put you knife away. Like I say when holstering a pistol, it it still a good idea to look the knife into the sheath. No sense is stabbing your gear or self to save a second or two on securing the blade.

Molding the Kydex to the knife provides a tighter fit to the blade. This reduces rattle or slap inside the sheath from the knife banging into the sheath. This also means anything hitting the outside of the sheath will be quieter too. These are molded for RIGHT HAND use. If you want a left hand version choose that in the options section.

There are currently three width sizing on the Glock Knife Sheath V1. This helps you fine tune the sheath to your needs. The standard width is the narrowest width. Spacing is soley based on the width of the knife blade. Next wider option is the Standard Molle width. This is for attaching to the standard webbing stitched every 1.5″ wide. This gives you about 1.4″ room between the stitches. When you have something using laser cut molle slots the opening is about 1.1″ but still 1.5″ to the next opening. So, your wiggle room using standard 1″ wide straps is minimized. This means the Standard Molle Width snuggly fits in two MOLLE columns. The Laser Cut MOLLE take three vertical columns.

Updated Option Feb 2024: We are now offering a steel pommel modification to Glock knives at time of purchase. This cold-blued steel pommel is great for crushing things with the butt of your knife or hammering in nails or tent stakes. It also gives you easier access to the storage area inside the handle. The added weight also shifts the balance from blade forward to the handle. This is change in balance is preferred by many knife fighters as it make changes in direction quicker.

Our version of the sheath has a bottom and side drain hole. This allows plenty of drainage for when it gets wet. As with any knife you should dry and oil it as soon as possible if it gets wet.

The standard sheath is about 3″ wide. There is a wider version that is about 3.8″ wide that allows both columns of eyelets to align with three width molle section.
