Kabar Becker BK7 was the only knife made me confuse before purchase Kabar D2 Extreme fighting knife. However at the end I bought all of them. Kabar Becker BK 7 is far from my expectation. Its a perfect knife for survival adventures.
Kabars products are likely my best choice. Their philosophy is apparently to invest all their resources into producing a high quality blade of excellent design, material, and coating while minimizing the cost of parts and accessories. I love it! They always tried to make outstanding knife and Kabar Becker BK7 is one of their high quality products. It offers an awesome survival tool at an acceptable price! Its a good idea because I can pay less for high quality knife and buy accessories which needed later.
Kabar Becker BK7 combat utility knife left me a strong impression in the moment when I hold it in hands. It was a reliable, trustable knife for camping, hunting and fighting. It was an absolutely perfect blend of utility, durability, and affordability. If you lose on a far away island, youll wish Kabar Becker BK7 in your pack back. It could be useful for multi-purpose/survival uses in the wilderness. It is delightful to hold such a well-made knife and know that it's proudly made in the USA. Kabar Becker BK7 is a full tang knife which has a great design, shape as well as size. This best survival knife is made by the legendary Kabar cutlery. Kabar Becker BK7 seems designed to be the perfect "all around" wilderness utility and combat knife.
At first I didnt like this knifes appearance especially its handle. Then handle looks slip and easy to lose out of my hand. However everything was change until I hold it. The awesome beauty of the BK7 was a terrific instance of "form following function."
Kabar Becker BK7 is built from highly durable yet easily sharpened 1095 Cro-Van steel, with a long, straight, flat ground edge that comes shaving sharp right out of the box. The metal, grind, and straight edge will make this knife simple to use and maintain in the field. Kabar Becker BK7 was the knife followed me for a survival adventure along Mekong Delta River in 7 days in 2010. In that trip I used it for almost hard work to survive and it showed that Kabars producers were serious with which they made: They had a great design for this knife. The thumb ramp on the blade was unexpectedly convenient. It didnt interfere with any normal grip of the knife. When I wanted kabar becker bk7 reviewto slice something such as meat, this design provided a solid spot to park my thumb which also seems to allow a little extra leverage. The BK7's thumb ramp permitted a little extra leverage and kind of lets you locked out your thumb to transfer more leverage from the wrist/forearm muscles. It really felt like it may translate into noticeably less fatigue from your grip over time. I like the feel of the thumb ramp and it did seem functional, which I did not expect.
Not only use for slicing, I have abused it harder as just about any tool I've owned. Not so surprise that Kabar Becker BK7 survived through all of hard tests and it just keeps going and going... Believe me, with this knife in hands, build a fire, dig a hole, cut a tree or make a kill are very easy tasks. The blade is made in 1095 steel thus once it dulled you can sharpen it easily. I just used some cheap Japanese sharpen stone which cost me about $5- $10 per unit. The blade excels at most bushcraft chores, from fine tasks like feather sticks all the way up to hard-abuse tasks like chopping through a limb as a make-shift axe or batoning through 5" diameter logs to make kindling. And after all this time, the black coating on blade has held on like a champ.
For survival purposes the Ka-Bar Becker BK7 will certainly offer you numerous advantages. You can utilize it in order to cut as well as chop firewood to construct a fire on the hunting journey. You may also use this for reducing; cleaning as well as skinning your catch upon hunting as well as hiking adventures. If you like camping, then this is actually the perfect knife for you. In urge situation in the wild if you need a weapon to counter wild animal, your Kabar Becker BK7 surely be a good combat/fighting knife. There is no question that the substantial heft, long edge, excellent balance, and sharp piercing tip will make this knife very effective as a defensive weapon in urgent situations.
I personally didnt have opportunity to test BK7 as a fighting knife on field. I guess it could not flexible as Kabar USMC fighting knife or Kabar D2 Extreme Fighting knife, which initial designed to be combat knives (You can read my Kabar D2 Extreme Fighting Knife review here). However there is different between battle field and wild forest. In the wild I rather choose full tang Kabar Becker BK7, which larger, stronger blade. Bigger blade means easier to do survival activities such as chopping tree trunks, cutting branches to build a camp, digging dust to find food sources and more
