Broke my Ka-Bar... need a replacement camp knife.

Ka-bar has always been tops with me. Never an issue. Heck I even caught my father batoning my Warthog thru some firewood.... with a hammer(talk about stress testing). I can laugh now after the fact. LOL... still no problems. He's my dad. What can I say?

"When in doubt, get your Ka-Bar out."

Don't let one break ruin you on a long-standing tradition of an awesome knife, I trust my life to this knife, chances are if it broke it'd probably do the job all the same. Those Becker knives seem like a great build too, I'm sure one of those would hold up even better to batoning than the standard F/U.

BK-7. It's more or less the same knife but beefier, full tangier and full of Becker goodness. It's good stuff.

I belted the cr@p out of my BK-7 with a baton and it didn't break - in fact I would VERY surprised if it ever broke while batoning.

It took the bark of the baton:

But it never quit:

BK-7 = well made knife capable of handling any camp chores required. More than tough enough IMO.

BTW: Just because Ka-Bar will probably replace it doesn't mean you don't need a new knife also!

Words of wisdom there. Go ahead, get you a Becker, we won't tell. Moose

That's AWESOME!! Otherwise PM me and I have a knife I will GIVE you (Ka bar short bowie)

I would trade for something if you dont want.

two great options - Fox Knives Trapper or Condor Hudson's Bay.

 

[Angus McGunnigl]

the 90 degree angle where the tang meets the blade is the culprit

1st let me say that as a Marine, the love of this knife is in my DNA, but why not fix this issue with this knife ?
That said, I'll still buy them no matter. It's THE KABAR afterall !!

Becker BK5 has been talking to me lately, finally got my ka-bar heavy bowie so it might be next in line.

Zombie thread.

I prefer the Sykco 711 for this role.

Considering what you get for your hard earned dollars, the Becker BK-2 may be the best value as a tough as nails camp\wood procesor.
