Becker’s Legendary Hard‑Use Bowie, Field‑Proven Strength, Ergonomic Esta‑Loc Handle
The KA‑BAR Becker Combat Bowie (BK9) is the culmination of Ethan Becker’s 30+ years of survival, fieldcraft, and para‑military outfitting experience. Designed as a combat‑ready, hard‑use tool, the BK9 blends Becker’s uniquely ergonomic Esta‑Loc handle with a traditionally profiled American Bowie blade. This handle design is renowned for reducing user fatigue during extended heavy use, outperforming many knives in its class.

The 9" Bowie‑inspired blade is crafted from stout 3/16"‑thick 1095 Cro‑Van carbon steel, thinly ground for exceptional chopping power while maintaining a deep belly and fine edge for controlled slicing. A short clip swedge enhances piercing performance without compromising strength, and the extended butt of the full tang doubles as a light‑duty hammering surface.

The Combat Bowie includes a black nylon sheath with an internal Kydex stiffener for safety and durability. Field‑tested alongside the BK7 in demanding overseas environments, this sheath features an elasticized front pouch sized for a survival kit or spare handgun magazine.
