The Ka-Bar Becker/Reinhardt Kukri machete (BK21) from an American manufacturer is one of the best designed and introduced to the market kukri-shaped machetes. Designed thanks to the cooperation of Ethan Becker with the estate of Hank Reinhardt, a legendary knifemaker and specialist in the field of cold weapons, who died in 2007.
The Becker/Reinhardt Kukri machete from Ka-Bar is armed with a blade almost 34 centimeters long, made of a single piece of 1095 Cro-Van carbon steel with an admixture of chrome and vanadium, 4.8 mm thick. 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. The machete is very well balanced, the center of gravity of the machete has been moved significantly to the front of the blade, which allows you to perform camp work, chop wood or chop tree trunks for firewood, much more effectively.
Kukri 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 crossguard protecting the user against accidental slipping of the hand onto the blade. The handle has a prominent head, which significantly facilitates work with an extended grip and protects the user from slipping the machete while clearing. The handle also has an exposed head, which is a prominent glass breaker that will successfully take the role of an improvised hammer. The handle has a hole in the head, intended for a wrist lanyard.
The machete comes with a functional sheath designed to safely carry the tool on a belt with a maximum width of 74 millimeters. The sheath is made of black polyester and has additional polymer stiffening.
