Awesome knife! Suitable for everything: slicing, chopping, cutting, and driving wooden "stakes" into the ground for a tarp… the sheaths are just weak, both in the more expensive and cheaper versions, so I made one out of leather myself… Three days of work and it's done. But the knife really is awesome!!!
Robust and heavy-duty BK2 survival knife from the Becker Knives collection, created by Ethan Becker. The BK22 version stands apart from the BK2 by featuring a polyester sheath as part of the package.
Forged from a single slab of 1095 Cro-Van steel, the blade is finished with a black, matte coating that shields it from reflections and rust. Engineered for demanding outdoor use, the knife easily tackles thick branches and heavy-duty tasks. The blade measures a solid 6.4 mm in thickness.
The grip utilizes the proprietary Zytel® material from the renowned brand DuPont. The handle incorporates a cross guard design at the bottom to prevent the user's hand from slipping onto the edge.
A black polyester sheath comes supplied with the knife. Outfitted with a belt attachment, straps compatible with the MOLLE/PALS system for mounting on tactical vests or backpacks, as well as an accessory pouch with a velcro closure.

Militaria.pl is a premium dealer of Ka-Bar.
Ka-Bar is a brand whose history dates back to the late 19th century, and which gained real fame during World War II, when the Fighting Utility model was officially adopted by the US Marine Corps. The durable and versatile knife quickly became legendary, proving itself both in combat and in the daily tasks of soldiers. The name Ka-Bar itself comes from the 1920s, when a trapper described in a letter how he managed to “kill a bear” with a Union Cutlery knife. In 1952, wanting to emphasize the power of this symbol, the company officially changed its name to Ka-Bar Knives Inc., and its products are still considered a model of reliability today. An important chapter in the brand's history is also its collaboration with Ethan Becker, which resulted in the Becker series, highly valued by users, combining practical solutions with a modern approach to knife design.

The knife is heavy but well-balanced, fits perfectly in the hand, making wood splitting relatively comfortable. It's great for hard work. It holds its edge well but is also easy to sharpen. The polyester sheath is compact and avoids problems with dulling the knife. One less star because a knife dedicated for forest work doesn't have the option to create sparks (except for the cutting edge), so either you modify and file the spine or you have to carry another tool for this purpose. Overall, I recommend it to anyone who wants to feel the power when working with wood :)

When looking for a knife, I wanted one that wasn't excessively long and had the thickest possible blade, of course, I also cared about steel quality. Overall, I had my eye on this knife for a long time, so I finally ordered it and I don't regret it at all. The blade thickness is mind-blowing, a real crowbar, solid weight, and for me, the design is super because it doesn't look typically tactical, more like a hunting or survival knife. As for the steel, at this price I can't complain, and the handle is also fine. The knife is factory sharp, I easily cut down a few small pines with it, going just as smoothly as with a machete. The knife is now a permanent part of my EDC, I prefer to have just this one than a few cheap ones. :) My only reservation is the protective coating—it’s not super durable. At the bottom are pictures with a small comparison to the Ka-Bar Cutlass Machete in terms of blade thickness and overall length. :D

Amazing knife. Very well made, a solid piece of quality steel, sharp. A knife for heavy-duty tasks. It isn't small, more for elephants, or as the only tool on a deserted island :)

I've had this knife for a few weeks and I'm more than satisfied. First, it's sharp so it cuts through larger pieces of wood with no problem, and because of that its weight doesn't really matter—the hatchet and saw stay at home. Cans are no problem for it either. I was a bit worried that the handle might be too slippery, but there’s no issue at all. I recommend it to anyone looking for a knife to abuse in the forest. It's worth its price.

Tank opener.

A heavy, sharp beast. I recommend it.

Nice knife, will handle any job.

A solid piece of steel, really a tank opener, factory sharp enough to shave. I recommend it.

Without a doubt, this is the best tool I've ever held in my hand. I affectionately named my copy "Tyson" because it really reminds me of a heavyweight champion in the ring. Stocky, powerful, and yet sophisticated in its own way. The thickness of the blade allows you to shorten your grip for more precise work. The weight and shape of the handle make it a tank. The molle sheath is more practical and filled with a plastic insert. You need to have it in your hand to appreciate it. The factory edge cuts paper. Perfect!
