KA-BAR / KA BAR / KABAR The KA-BAR Becker Bk18 Harpoon is a solid fixed knife, designed for survival and bushcraft purposes. Designer Ethan Becker designed the Bk18 as a good-looking tool. The harpoon tip with swedge on the back looks really cool. Its sand-brown colour accentuates this even more.
The blade is made from tough 1095CroVan carbon steel. Easy to sharpen in the field, and it can handle its own. The only disadvantage is that 1095CroVan isn’t completely stainless. That is why KA-BAR enhanced the blade with a coating. The handle is made from zytel: a strong plastic that can withstand the elements.
The KA-BAR Bk18 comes with a Celcon sheath. This is an extremely strong type of plastic. Because of the clever construction of the belt loop you can carry comfortably carry it on the left or right side of your belt.
Ethan Becker founded Becker Knife & Tool in the early 1980s and set about designing, manufacturing and selling the industrial-strength tactical and survival knives that he had always wanted for himself. His products, the BK&T line, have gone a long way to making these now popular all-black knives in demand.
Mr. Becker spends as much time as possible in the outdoors testing a variety of equipment and knife designs, and also works to expand his primitive and outdoor skills. He collaborated with KA-BAR in 2008 and has reintroduced and brought up to date his best selling models.
This all-tan harpoon point Becker knife features a matching polymer sheath.
