Ka-Bar Becker Necker
Item #: KABK-11
$59.95
In the early 1980's, Ethan Becker, an avid outdoorsman, founded Becker Knife and Tool, focusing on the large tactical and survival knives he had always wanted for himself. In the late 1990's and early 2000's, Camillus Cutlery, no longer in business, produced some of his most popular designs. In late 2008, Ka-Bar® began introducing some of those same designs.
The Becker Necker features a 3-1/4" flat ground drop point blade available in 1095 Cro-Van high carbon steel at 56-58 Rc. The 1095 Cro-Van is black powder coated for low reflectivity and corrosion resistance. At the butt end of the knife you will find a wire-breaker/bottle opener. Includes a black glass filled nylon sheath and a 550 paracord lanyard. The updated sheath is made to work with the TDI metal clip (KA1480CLIP . . . . . $8.95, not included) allowing for easy mounting on your belt, in a boot or on a tactical vest. Measures 6-3/4" tip to butt.
Weighs 3.0 oz. Knife made in U.S.A. Sheath made in Taiwan. Suggested retail is $78.73.

KA-BAR
Soon after its introduction in the mid-1920's, the KA-BAR trademark became widely known and respected. There have been many versions of how the KA-BAR name came to be, but all evidence points to a letter received from a fur trapper. This particular fur trapper's testimonial turned out to be the most significant ever received by the company.
He wrote, in very rough English, that his gun had jammed and that he had therefore relied on his knife to kill a wounded bear that was attacking him. In thanking the company for their quality product the trapper described using his knife to kill the bear. All that was legible of his scrawled writing was "k a bar". The company was so honored by this testimonial that they adopted this phrase and used it as their trademark, KA-BAR.
KA-BAR is best known for their military production knives. They were chosen by the U.S. Marine Corp. as the primary knife producer for World War II. They also have traditional pocket knives, as well as many options for law enforcement.
