The KA-BAR BK18 Becker Harpoon is the result of a collaboration between KA-BAR Knives Inc. and knife designer Ethan Becker. Becker is a renowned expert in survival and combat knives, and the Harpoon is designed specifically for demanding wilderness and field use. This durable knife offers a reliable companion for hunting, hiking, and survival situations.
The knife has a 4.5 mm thick, full-tang body made from a single piece of 1095 Cro-Van carbon steel. The blade is finished with a matte finish that protects it from reflections and corrosion. The distinctive harpoon design improves piercing ability and versatility. The hardness of 56–58 HRC ensures a good balance between durability and sharpenability.
The handle is made of highly durable Ultramid® material, known for its excellent strength and reliability. The handle has safety features that prevent the grip from slipping onto the blade, and a hole at the end allows the use of a safety cord. The BK18 is compatible with the Short Becker series standard, which allows for the installation of Micarta replacement handles, for example.
Comes with a Celcon® hard plastic sheath that is resistant to heavy wear, extreme temperatures and moisture. The knife snaps securely into place and is secured with a strap with a steel buckle. The nylon belt loop fits tactical belts up to 8 cm wide, and the sheath attachment side can be changed by adjusting the Allen screws.
