I just saw this over at the other forums. This looks interesting.

Thanks for the link. Interesting product, I 'll have to get myself one for my Glock (this when I'll be issued one, of course)

I guess that is a cool idea... but I just don't see the need to have an armorers tool on the back of your knife. I have owned/fired my Glock for several years now and have never had to push any pins out, and don't see a reason that I will ever have to. Even if I did, it would be in a workshop environment where i would have access to all my tools. There just isn't a need for a tool like that "in the field". The Glock field strips soo easily into the major components already that you might only need to push the pins out to do anal-retentive cleaning of the interior components, and once again, you wouldn't want to do that unless in a home or workshop environment where you should have your $6 Glock Armorers tool anyways. ****, a simple punch or any other strong thin rod would work. I say gimmick, but if it gives somebody a reason to buy another Spydie than more power to 'em.

Actually, when i was in the army (Norwegian) my first year and a half, i was a gunsmith. Of course, in the army there are LOADS of guns, so you'd be hard pressed not to have a few faults. We did have some. And i was running around changing anything and everything that could be changed in the field, you guessed it, in the field.
I attached a punch that fitted the Glock to my leatherman, and this endura would have saved me doing that plus functioned as a backup knife.
Of course, that was professionally, so you'd have more faults (usually because the user had done something wrong) than as a regular shooter.
Nonetheless, i think it's a good idea!

And if nothing else, gives me a reason to buy more Spyderco's :D

glock tools in the field without the parts to change if something breaks wont be very usefull.

Just ordered one. Asked them to engrave "The Deacon" on the spine. :D Ok, so I'm vain, what else is new. Don't own a Glock, but bet that little punch will come in handy next year when it's time to "Spring ahead". :D

Do keep in mind that this tool was not Spyderco's idea. Lone Wolf, who seem to be fairly familiar with Glock and marketing a fair array of Glock tools already, was the driving force behind this. Have to assume they know their market.

My Glock cracked a frame. The tool would not of helped. It still shot fine even with a Broken frame. Glock gave me whole new Gun, so Glock as a company ROCKS!!!!!!

The knife is cool I might get one! This is a cool knife Spyderco! Good Job!

As a gunsmithing student (and future gunsmith), I guess I'll have to buy one. No cash right now though.

I will definately get one. My favorite knife brand now makes a EDC with a tool for my favorite pistols, how can I resist? I'm not big on the CE, but at least the blade is long enough to make each section useful. I have a factory Glock punch, and having that on my EDC would be great for going to the range or hunting with a glock. They may not need it, because I have gone over 1500 rounds without cleaning them before, but I found it good to learn the mechanicals of the gun and how it works. I put in my own 3.5 lb. connector, and extended slide release, and have made a habit of cleaning the internals of the slide about every 1500 rounds. You'd be amazed how much brass, powder, and just plain crud builds up in there. You can definately get light primer strikes if too much of that crap builds up in there. I rebuilt my G17 (10000 rounds with no problems) after my wife bought me a complete rebuild kit (I only actually wanted a couple springs, but she went overboard on a present) and now I have a complete set of broken in spare parts for it. I think everyone should detail strip a Glock if you own one, it is easy, and is a great bonding process.

Just got my collector version. Thought it was odd that I was getting a collector Endura 4, but a second look revealed the nested tool in the spine. Very interesting and I suppose useful design for Glock-sters.

I guess that explains my sudden urge to buy a Glock..... :eek:

Buy the Glock! If you join the Glock Sport Shooting Foundation for $35 you can get a standard model for $398 from Glock. You will then have to find a dealer that will transfer it for a reasonable fee. You will not be disappointed by Glock. They may not be the prettiest thing in the world, but they are dependable, accurate, and last forever. Kind of the Spyderco of the pistol world.
