Glock Feldmesser 78 (FM 78) Austrian field knife with matching black polymer sheath. The blade is clearly marked “Made in AUSTRIA,” Glock logo, and “78.” The handle also features the Glock logo.
This is the plain-edge FM78 configuration rather than the FM81 sawback variant. Reference specifications for the FM78 are approximately 6.5" blade length and 11.4" overall length. Commercial examples are documented with the same “Made in Austria / Glock / 78” blade markings visible on this Glock

The blade finish, handle and sheath appear intact. Exact age and whether it was military-issued or commercially sold cannot be established from these photos alone. Commercial FM78s were also produced in large numbers, so the “78” is the model designation, not a 1978 date stamp.
