Ka-Bar Becker Knife with Drop Point, Short,Carbon

Good

Me faltaba este cuchillo para completar mi colección de cuchillos tácticos, ayer mismo le cambié las cachas por las de color coyote para que hagan juego con la funda a la cual agregue un cuchillo tipo esqueleto de KA-BAR porque me encantó, el cuchillo es práctico y de buen tamaño mi favorito es el BK7 que acabo de ordenar nuevamente, son unas verdaderas bestias en el campo, aguantan lo que sea, por eso soy fan de esta marca, cómprenlo les va a ayudar mucho en tareas de senderismo, bushcraft incluso cacería

Bis auf die Scheide finde ich das dieses Messer sehr gut gelungen ist. In echt sieht es noch besser aus als auf den Bilder. Bin voll und ganz zufrieden.

I love this knife! When you first see this knife you will most likely say to yourself "it looks smaller than I thought" Dont be fooled its solid for its size and sized this way for control and percision. It arrived razor sharp and passed the shave hair test. The BK-16 is perfect for smaller bush craft jobs. I would recommend pairing it with a BK-9 or your favorite bowie knife for wood chopping or batoning, there is NO knife that does it all your gonna want more than one.This is the actual Becker BK-16 the add does not show that for some reason as of this post. The knife came in the original factoy packaging and included the extra tan colored handle set not shown in the add.This is the real deal you can buy with confidence!Can go wrong with a beck BK-16. Remember this is Ethan Beckers favorite knife and the man knows knives.

ナイフで迷っているならコレ、箱だしでも良くく切れる。多少無茶な使い方でも問題なし。解体もやりやすい。

This is my go-to blade in the woods. It's extremely well designed for its intended purpose.It's the perfect size for a general bushcraft/camp knife, especially if you combine it with an axe or saw for heavier wood processing tasks. It's big enough to split kindling (or even cross-cut small logs by batoning if you had to), but light enough to carry everywhere, and small enough to give good control for finer cutting tasks.Excellent blade design. One of the things that really stands out about the BK16 compared to similar knives is the slim blade profile. Many other knives in this category are too thick. This saves weight but, more importantly, gives good slicing performance. A blade of this size isn't a heavy chopper, splitter, or prybar, where a thick blade is useful; it's primary function is slicing and cutting, where an overly thick blade is detrimental. The full flat grind is another feature that contributes to great slicing performance by making the side angles more accute and keeping the blade profile slim. That said, the blade is thick enough to be robust, and you can be absolutely confident batoning it, beating on it, etc. The skeletonized full tang design is also very robust. The drop point tip works well for batoning and is strong, but also good enough for some fine tip work. Look at the BK17 if you want to trade off robustness for a finer tip.I find the contoured handle to be extremely comfortable (I have medium sized hands). That said, a contoured handle increases comfort in the standard grip position, but is less flexible than a more neutral handle design. For example, I find that the handle design 'wants' the hand to be in a certain position, and slightly resists choking up (even though it can be done).Some find the Zytel scales to be on the slippery side, but I've found them to be fine, both wet and dry. You can easily replace them with custom scales or micarta ones made by Kabar, or add spacers if you want a thicker handle. Customizability is one of of the great things about the bolt-on scale design. The included scales are very slightly narrower than the handle. For comfort, you'll want to align them flush with the bottom side of the handle, so that slightly protruding metal edge of the handle is against your palm instead of your fingers.The 1095 steel works great. Very respectable performance for the price. Sharpens up to a razor edge, holds it decently well, and re-sharpens easily. The coating means you don't have to worry about rust, except for oiling the edge. The coating holds up well, but the texture is too rough; a smoother blade would have less resistance when passing through material. That said, it will wear smoother with use, or you could use light sand paper to smooth it out.The sheath is good quality, but it's too long for the BK16's blade. It's a common design for the BK15, BK16, and BK17. The BK15's blade is longer, so the sheath sticks out too far on the BK16/17. That's a design flaw in my opinion, even if it doesn't hurt anything. If it bugs you, you can cut it and sew it shorter, or buy an aftermarket sheath (Kydex would be a nice upgrade anyway).Becker/Kabar are a great company, and the lifetime warranty gives confidence in their products.
