Ka-Bar Becker Folder BK40 - A fascinating pocket knife. The knife has a robust, 9 cm long drop-point blade made of stainless AUS-8 steel with a thickness of 3 mm. The versatile pocket clip can be mounted in four positions.
Wow! This really is a fascinating pocket knife. These were my thoughts when I held the fantastic Becker Folder BK40 from KA-BAR in my hands for the first time.
A robust and reliable pocket knife. Mr. Ethan Becker had the best idea of his time, in my opinion, to design the almost legendary "KA-BAR Becker Companion BK2" as a pocket knife. Ethan Becker, I once read, believes that knives should last a lifetime and do their job. And it's not a bad thing if they also look good.
This pocket knife has a robust 9 cm long blade made of stainless AUS-8 steel, which is 3 mm thick. The drop-point blade with great design elements and a biting flat grind is well suited for a variety of tasks, both in outdoor and everyday use. An EDC knife that feels at home "everywhere".
The handle of the BK40 is made of FRN (fiberglass-reinforced plastic), which offers an excellent balance between durability and weight. With a weight of 150 g, the knife is solidly constructed, but still light enough to be carried comfortably in your pocket.
Speaking of transportation, the BK40 is equipped with a versatile pocket clip that can be mounted in four positions (tip-up and tip-down for right- and left-handed users). This allows individual adjustment to personal preferences and carrying habits. The knife is locked in place by a reliable liner lock mechanism, which holds the blade securely in the open position and is easy to unlock if required.
All in all, the ingenious KA-BAR Becker Folder BK40 is a real workhorse that won't put a dent in your bank balance, yet is designed for robustness and functionality. With its proven design and materials, it is a reliable choice for simply anyone looking for a versatile everyday knife.
KA-BAR is a renowned knife company that originated in the USA in 1890. The original company that launched the famous hunting knife "Model 1219C2" with a 17 cm long Bowie blade was called "Union Cutlery Company". Only 8 years later the company was renamed "Tidioute Cutlery Company". However, it was not until the Second World War that the KA-BAR knife became world famous. The US military was looking for an improved weapon for close combat and found the perfect solution in the KA-BAR knife. Major Howard America adapted the design of the knife in 1942 and it became the "KA-BAR-US Navy and Marine Corps Utility Knife MKII" with an extended blade length of 17.8 cm, weight reduction and an oval leather handle made of pressed leather discs. It proved itself in the military and was used as one of the most popular close combat weapons until today.
After the war, the company was renamed "KA-BAR Cutlery Inc." in 1952 and is now based in Olean, New York. In addition to the KA-BAR knife, the company also offers various special series and variations of knives. The KA-BAR knife is still available today as the "Full-Size USMC KA-BAR, Straight Edge".
The origin of the name "KA-BAR" is not exactly clear, but it may derive from "kill a bear" or as an abbreviation for "Knife Attached - Browning Automatic Rifle". The Browning Automatic Rifle was also part of the standard inventory of the infantry squad in WW2. Today, the KA-BAR knife is known as the forefather of combat and mission knives and enjoys worldwide popularity.
