The Austrian weapons manufacturer Glock, founded in Deutsch-Wagram, is known for its innovative polymer-framed pistols and field knives. Founded by Gaston Glock around 1963, the company achieved worldwide recognition with the development of the Glock 17 polymer pistol in the early 1980s. In addition to pistols, Glock also produces field knives, which are used by the Austrian Armed Forces and other nations and can be used as bayonets.
