Ka-Bar Becker Nessmuk BK19 Fixed Blade Knife - Desert Tan
A survival knife from the Becker Knives series featuring a Full Tang construction with a Nessmuk-profile blade made of high-carbon 1095 Cro-Van steel. The sand-colored handle is made of Ultramid plastic, and the knife was designed by Ethan Becker. The set includes a sheath made of Celcon plastic, allowing for safe transport of the knife.
1095 Cro-Van tool steel
The blade is made of 1095 Cro-Van high-carbon tool steel, hardened to a hardness of 56–58 HRC. This steel is characterized by high resistance to chipping, making it well-suited for heavier field work. The addition of chromium and vanadium increases hardenability, improves cutting edge stability and wear resistance, and the material remains easy to resharpen.
Nessmuk profile blade with matte finish
The blade, featuring a Nessmuk profile and a blade thickness of 4.2 mm, has been finished with a matte protective coating that enhances corrosion resistance and reduces glare. Its distinctive spoon-shaped design, with a rounded spine tip, facilitates precise cuts and woodworking tasks. The flat grind and smooth cutting edge ensure good control during use.
Ultramid handle scales
The handle consists of contoured scales made of Ultramid, a durable engineering polyamide that is resistant to impact, abrasion, and varying field conditions. The material ensures a rigid and stable grip, and the cutout at the level of the index finger forms a cross guard that enhances safety during use. A hole is provided on the recoil pad of the handle for threading a cord or paracord through.
Celcon sheath
The sheath is made of Celcon, a material resistant to abrasion, moisture, and extreme temperatures. The knife is secured by a snap-fit mechanism and is further protected against falling out by a strap fastened with a steel latch. The design allows the sheath to be mounted on either side of the belt.

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.
