The Ka-Bar Short Becker knife (BK16) is a solid and compact survival knife with a Full Tang construction, made of Cro-Van class 1095 carbon steel, equipped with an extremely durable polyamide handle by BASF, available under the trade name Ultramid®, sold in a set with a stiffened nylon cover, compliant with MOLLE/PALS modular platform standards.
The Short Becker knife (BK16) has a wide blade with a Drop Point profile with a full flat grind and a plain cutting edge, made of Cro-Van 1095 carbon steel with an admixture of chrome and vanadium, 4.3 millimeters thick, which generates extraordinary durability of the knife even under the hardest camp works. This tool is entirely covered with a layer of epoxy paint, powder-coated to eliminate light reflections and protect the steel against corrosion and external factors. An additional advantage of the Short Becker knife is the notch that begins the cutting edge.
The knife has an ergonomic handle made of Ultramid, thanks to which the knife fits perfectly in the hand, and the delicately textured surface of the handle lining guarantees a firm grip even with a wet hand. The base of the blade has a prominent guard, protecting the user against accidentally sliding the hand onto the blade, and notches on the back of the base, providing additional support for the thumb when cutting precisely. The handle also has an exposed head, which is a prominent glass breaker that can successfully act as an improvised hammer. The handle has a hole in the head, intended for a wrist safety lanyard.
The knife comes with a stiffened, desert-colored nylon sheath, adapted to carry the knife on a belt and more. The knife cover is compliant with MOLLE/PALS standards, which allows for any installation on modular platforms compliant with this standard. The sheath is equipped with a small pocket, fastened with a Velcro flap, so you can always have the knife care and maintenance equipment at hand (maintenance and care equipment is not included in the set). The cover is equipped with two snap straps, covering and stabilizing the knife handle.
The set also includes spare handle linings, also made of Ultramid by BASF, but in a desert-colored.
