SHOT Show 2020: Becker Knife&Tool, Ka-Bar BK-18 FIRST LOOK

[@Wingman115]

I love that knife.

[@Tier1GearEDCReviews]

I've been using it on and off for about 2 months now. I gotta say it performs quite well. It replaced my bk16 which I've used on and off for 6 years.

[@mr.delacruz559]

Beautiful blade design and the sheath looks like a winner . I’m happy to see Becker is still killing it with their designs!

[@innerbarkoutdoors]

:D Beautiful designing they/he does.

BK-18 Is the sweetest knife design I've seen from the new Ka-bars. Bullseye guys 🤘🏼

[@innerbarkoutdoors]

*thumbs up*

[@SurvivalSpec]

KABAR knives are just an amazing value for what you get per dollar. I’m amazed at Becker’s designs.

[@innerbarkoutdoors]

They have a great business model built on heritage

[@playbytherootz4777]

I love this guy, he really loves his job and tries to give hiz followers-customers the very best of his ability. Just a very dedicated man. Props

[@innerbarkoutdoors]

He’s the best!!

[@bushcraftingmuslim]

I can't believe it but I think that's going to give my bk16 a back seat for most of what I use a knife for. Great compromise of everything I look for. I always wished the bk16 had a pointier profile for some things, and a little longer for more versatility. I can see myself carrying both, and a mora whittler, and a chopper. Damn Uncle Ethan.

[@innerbarkoutdoors]

I'm quite pleased with how this one feels in the hand. Can't wait to test one in the field!

[@RideAlongside]

ismailperth exact same thoughts here. Just ordered a new custom leather sheath for my bk16 too. Ugh. 😑

[@justinprobst8635]

I wore your BK5 for two years while homesteading. Bought the 15 after that. I’ll be buying this knife without a doubt. I love a good belly and your BK5 changed my thinking on knives. Well done Ethan!

[@innerbarkoutdoors]

Ethan is the GOAT *heart*

[@arielluna3760]

Not crazy about the color, but I can't wait to get my hands on one. I really love the design.

[@innerbarkoutdoors]

Never say never for another color scheme.

[@James-ke5sx]

I bought the last BK5 on Amazon. It said Camp knife and I wanted a large camp kitchen knife and this is perfect. My other kabars are too rough finished for food processing and heavy. This is smooth finished, lightweight too bad ya'll missed it. Wanted the BK15 to go with but can't find it

[@innerbarkoutdoors]

[@James-ke5sx]

I bought the BK5, great kitchen or camp butcher knife. I use it in my kitchen as my main big chopper. People missed out on this great knife. The first time I saw it I knew I wanted to buy it right away and I ordered it because it was the last one in existence like Amazon. I looked all over to find a Ka-Bar 15 to go along with it but they're all gone so this knife looks like it could fit the bill

[@innerbarkoutdoors]

Thanks for the comment James, this knife is sweet! You wouldn't be dissapointed if you picked on up.

[@Wildwestwrangler]

Wonder if the sheath on this one will dull the blade like kabar's other plastic sheaths

[@masgrey9608]

So true!!!!

[@jammyface3041]

Jesse Schmidt can’t be worse than the Gerber Ghost strike I had. I returned it because the ingenious retention clips in the sheath are 2 metal rods that click into 2 notches on the knife just above the blade. When you draw the knife the blade edge glides right onto the metal real nice and dulls the crap out of it with one swipe. It’s an amazing knife, but the sheath made it trash. Sad because I loved the knife.

[@innerbarkoutdoors]

This one doesn't seem to have any of the glass filling which would dull a knife or wear off a finish.

What’s the price tag? Orange and reflective would be awesome. Anytime using a knife skinning I or someone places it down or drops it. Then it’s like where is the big knife?

[@innerbarkoutdoors]

Price and launch is later in 2020 spring I think. Reflective for the case you are talking about is a good all, I don't know if that is the books for them but.. maybe? If not you can always do a DIY and have a lanyard or your own touch of orange on the handle.
