Becker Survival Knives: Gone But Not Forgotten

Back


Here you'll see the groundbreaking Becker knives that established a new price point for such high performance blades. For what I do in the woods, I believe these blades will perform as well as production and semi-custom designs that cost many times as much. The Becker BK9 and BK7 are well made with high carbon 0170-6C steel, .188" thick blades tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 58-59. I have found this steel to very durable in the wilderness. The GV6H (glass filled nylon) handles are comfortable and removable as well. These knives hack, hammer, and split wood well and are almost to the level of a Cold Steel Trailmaster/Recon Scout...not quite because they're not full flat ground and are not quite 1/4" in thickness. The BK8 weighs out at 25.5oz in sheath, the BK7 is at 17.1 oz in sheath...not lightweights but in the ballpark. Sadly they are out of production with the demise of the Camillus Knife Company in 2007. You might them on secondary markets and they still are a real smart buy for survival blades. The Beckers were among the first blades to crank out such solid performance for around $50. Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 7 out of 10 (price considered)
