I have had this knife for over tens year and I have used from entering doors to cleaning cast iron grill's off. For a breaching to you use in a pinch it does it's job.

KA-BAR Becker Tac Tool 7" Carbon Steel Blade Rescue and Tactical Knife
I a am locksmith and need a small pry bar every now and then. It is a much better pry bar than a knife is. I haven't had long enough to find things not great about it.

Good Rescue Tool!
Good quality and American made (like my other Beckers). Big, tough, and heavy. This knife will have no problem prying, chopping, or splitting.

Great for kindling
I used this knife fir splitting pine wood to start a fire. It takes a great pounding and stays sharp. Even brought one for a neighbor.

Cool
This is what I've been waiting for in a knife. It fits in my hand like a knife should. Have not put it throw the paces yet but I have tackled a couple 4in logs, worked great. Glad I got it. I'm glad I found knife center fair price and was shipped out promptly

Versatile
So, my first impression was "this is a really sturdy knife". Then I put it in it's sheat and removed it again, and there was already scratches in the pain. The pain has since fallen off in many places, nothing that is visible when it's sheated but still a minor issue. The thing I reacted most to, however, was that it felt really dull straight out of the box. But that's also a minor issue, as the weight compensated for that. Granted, it's not a knife you use for finer carpentry, but as a makeshift axe it's perfect. I'm a professional truckdriver, and ever-so-often I encounter issues in my work with stuck trainer-doors, jammed locking-mechanisms and that sort of things. To have the TAC TOOL at hand is really helpfull, as it is pryer, hammer, and cutter in one unit. However the description "quickly cut '550 cord'" isn't really accurate in any way, shape or form. Atleast it wasn't for me. For me it was (straight out of the box, mind you) more like "file the cord for 5 minutes until it finally snaps, frailed ends and all". Also, the sheat is just a little too hard to make it possible to dra the knife quickly.

nice build quality
my first impression was the edges were not as sharp as i would have liked. but after using the tool i find the angle of the grind is just right for long term endurance, as opposed to a razor sharp edge that needs sharpened often. the weight compensates for the edge, and makes it safer as well.

Definitely not a "sunday" Knife
Feels great, looks great, and ridiculously tough to back it up. Who says you can't use your blade as a pry bar?

Heavy Duty
I have no idea when I will ever be in a situation that requires such a heavy duty knife, but I will have it if I ever find myself in one. I love the blade thickness and the flat edge, my only complaint is that the sheath scratches the blade.

Bummer
So I just unboxed my BK7, and I was a bit sad that it didn't include the small knife in the front pouch as I saw a few people comment on in earlier posts. My dashed hopes is the only reason I knocked two stars off this thing. The BK7 itself is amazing, feels great in my hand and was shaving sharp out of the box. The sheath was well made and is much better than a few of the cold steel sheaths I have gotten(except it was missing the remora). All this being said it appears to be a great blade at a great price.
