The KA-BAR Becker BK19 Nessmuk is a sturdy fixed blade knife designed for survival and bushcraft. Designed by Ethan Becker, it combines functionality and essential design.

The blade is made of 1095 CroVan carbon steel, which is easy to sharpen even in the field and guarantees excellent performance. The only limitation of this steel is its partial resistance to corrosion, which is why KA-BAR applies a protective coating.

The handle is made of Zytel, an extremely strong and durable polymer that can withstand the elements without any problems.

The BK19 comes with a Celcon sheath, another high-strength polymer material. Thanks to the cleverly designed belt loop, the knife can be carried comfortably on either the right or left side.
