KA-BAR KaBar Becker Crewman

I happen to love the kabar Becker line. 1095 crovan steel, a plethora of models to choose from, you name it. I’ve owned the bk2,7,9,16 and 11. I was looking for something smaller than the 7 or 9, but slightly larger than the 16 for chopping. The 2 is great but it’s like carrying a 2x4 with a sharp edge. It’s too heavy to have for most camping/hiking treks. I got the 10 as it was basically a lighter 2. I’ve held off for years and I do not know why. It came out of the box shaving sharp. Already beat the hell out of it and it’s only been a couple hours. Still has a great edge, but is easy to sharpen when you’ll need to. It’s relatively light for its size, and the tip is strong but gives you a ton of penetration. The Becker line isn’t known for its super amazing sheaths, but it works just fine and is sturdy. It will do exactly why you need it to. The Molle compatibility, belt snap/Velcro so you don’t have to remove your belt to put it on, as well as the pouch are nice touches. Also, like the other Beckers, the scales are a bit slick but the micarta scales are a good upgrade.

I am very impressed with the sturdiness of this knife. It didn't arrive terribly sharp and was difficult to trim a branch with until I sharpened it, but once sharp it cut smoothly. I keep it in the front door of my car because I use it for so many tasks. I read the reviews about the sheath being substandard, but it seems fine for me. Update: This is my go to bushcraft tool now for any hikes or outdoor exploration. I keep a Lansky sharpener in the pouch now, and as long as I have this knife and my firesteel with me, I'm only minutes away from a life-saving fire at all times. I used to carry a Gerber hatchet with me for splitting branches for firewood, but discovered when properly sharpened, this knife can baton the wood in practically half the time. I don't carry the Gerber hatchet anymore. Even after batoning, the blade maintains enough of an edge to get smooth, feather sticks for fire starting in wet and cold weather. Clean up the blade after and I can slice, chop, mince, or crush food for dinner. So far, I've only had to sharpen it on a sharpening stone once to correct a ding I put in the edge. That's it though. One time, and then minor honing on the Lansky. It's held up like a champ.

I never had a quality knife and knew that it was time to get one. I put a lot of research into my first good knife and was looking to get either the Gerber LMF II, the Ka-Bar Becker BK-2 and the Ka-Bar Becker BK-10. I decided to purchase the BK-10 after reading and watching many reviews that praised it so much. Amazon delivered it two days later as promised and as soon as I picked it up I said to myself "Wow!" I knew that instant what a quality knife felt like and am a little mad at myself that I waited this long to get one. The knife is solid and comfortable. The blade and tang is thick and feels very strong. The blade of the knife is very sharp. I have yet to pt it to any serious use, but the little cutting I did with it was perfect. There is no doubt in my mind that this knife can handle everything I will throw at it and will pay for itself in no time. The quality and the feel of the BK-10 convinces me to purchase the BK-2 next. If you are looking for a lot of bang for your buck or are on the fence about this knife just buy it - You will not be disappointed. It is worth every penny.

This is the Mack daddy of single blade knives!. I'm not a big out doors type but I do like to get out and tinker/forage around. So I decided it was time for a strong knife to take outdoors with me. I looked at SEVERAL different brands and styles and finally decided on this Ka-bar BK-10. This is a serious knife. It is big, it is strong and feels like it won't break. It is a manly knife. I love just pulling it out the sheath, it gives you a feeling of power! I tried chopping and batoning some wood and it made mincemeat out of it, but was also sharp enough to make kindling or tinder for some fine fire starting wood. My only complaint is that my hands are kind of too big for the handle. When I was chopping the wood, the handle hurt the outside of my pinky finger when striking down the hard surface. My solution to put gloves on while doing so. So over all, I love this big knife, there are way too many to choose from and I seriously doubt that there is a thing of " the perfect knife" but this is the one for me and if you check it out it might be the one for you too also.

Can't say more than what everybody says. Great survival knife. Bought this and the BK-9 good combo

重型求生刀，简单可靠

Universell einsetzbar und eigentlich nicht kaputt zu machen. Man hat hier ein Messer das bei etwas Pflege ein Leben lang halten wird.

Love this knife. Solid and v sharp out of the box.. not as thick as the BK2 but still great to handle. I've ordered the BK9 though for chopping just for the length, but this one would do but smaller logs..

Vorweg: das Ding ist sauscharf, mein Finger kann das bestätigen! Insgesamt ein sehr solides Outdoor-/Taktikmesser, von der Grüße für meine Hand genau richtig. Es liegt gut in der Hand von der Balance und zum groben oder auch etwas feinerem Arbeiten lässt es sich hervorragend einsetzen. Ich würde mir auf der Stelle noch eins kaufen, allerdings denke ich nicht, dass das Messer jemals mit der richtigen Pflege und bei sachgemäßem Gebrauch den Geist aufgeben wird.
