The KA-BAR Becker Combat Bowie BK9 is the ultimate large field and combat fixed blade in the Becker line. Ethan Becker designed this knife to be an extremely effective chopper, slicer, and survival tool, utilizing superior reach and balance. Consequently, the BK9 is a trusted choice for serious outdoor survival, military applications, and those who require the greatest possible cutting leverage.
Specifically, the Combat Bowie features a long, full-tang 9-inch clip point blade made from durable 1095 Cro-Van steel, providing exceptional chopping power. The ergonomic Ultramid handle scales ensure a secure grip, and the knife comes with two extra handle scale sets (brown and tan) for user customization. It includes a rugged heavy-duty polyester sheath with an internal hard shell insert for secure field carry.
