KABK9: BK9 Combat Bowie Knife

KA-BAR

Mr. Becker's combat-ready design is the culmination of over 30 years of survival and para-military training and outfitting experience. The Becker Combat Bowie is a synthesis of Becker's uniquely ergonomic trademark Esta-Loc handle design with a traditionally profiled, highly effective American Bowie style blade. This trademark Becker handle is well known for allowing extended periods of heavy use with less user fatigue than most other knives in its class.

The 9.25" Bowie inspired shape of the Combat Bowie is a useful performer in a variety of fieldcraft and combat chores. The stout, 0.188" thick, 1095 CroVan carbon tool steel blade, is thinly ground for the ultimate in chopping with a deep belly and thin edge that still allows for controlled slicing. The short clip swedge gives the Combat Bowie a unique blade profile that pierces well but is strong enough for many prying and digging tasks. In addition, the grip tang of the Combat Bowie incorporates a uniquely shaped butt extension that will work well for most light hammering jobs in the field.

The Combat Bowie sheath is black Nylon with an internal Kydex stiffener for user safety during hard use. This sheath has been extensively field tested overseas with the Combat Utility Model (BK-7) and has received many accolades from military and civilian users alike. An elasticized auxiliary pouch appropriately sized for a survival kit or spare handgun magazine is permanently attached to the front of the sheath.

Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness, Finish, Overall Quality
Cons: None
Destined to be recognized as a classic.
The BK-9 is a classic in my opinion. It can chop, fight, or help perform most survival and camp tasks. To sum it up a bit differently, I just feel at ease with this knife at my side. While not necessary, there are accessories to even improve this knife. Since I use mine primarily as a camp knife, I upgraded my handles to include the Knife Center's Micarta scales and purchased a custom, Kydex sheath.

Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness, Finish, Handle Material, Materials, Overall Quality, Weight
Cons: None
Made for the outdoors
Perfectly balanced with one of the best handle designs you will find on a fixed blade at any price point.Arguably the best “outdoors steel” for the money.There’s nothing wrong with the Becker stock handle scales, but If you want to modify your BK9 handle and you don’t want to spend an additional $50-60 for the micarta or G-10 scales just pick up a roll of athletic tape for $5 at any big box store and simply wrap the handle and you are good to go.The sheath is pretty basic but it does the job.This is a knife you will have for life and is money well spent.

Cons: Weight
Have Owned This Knife For Years...
Camping and Bushcraft are the heart of this iconic knife., though it is called the 'Combat Bowie'! I carried a Ka-Bar in the Marines, but thank goodness it wasn't this one! Way too heavy and buĺky for combat, but it could sure do some chopping! Ditto for the BK7, BK20, MOSES, and the Big Brother! Someone doesn't quite understand 'COMBAT', and its knife requirements! But I can't fault the knife for that! Quality and Durability are top notch: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
