Kabar BK18 Becker Harpoon Tan Fixed Blade

The Kabar BK18 builds off of the popular and ergonomic BK16 handle platform but offers a thicker, more tactical Harpoon style blade. It lends itself to more tactical use while still being functional for utility tasks. Both the 1095 Cro-Van blade and Ultramid polymer handles are a discreet tan color. They come with a matching MOLLE compatible Celcon polymer sheath and black nylon drop loop completing the package. Another great collaboration between Ethan Becker and KaBar knives

Brand new, direct from Kabar Knives, USA.

Blade: Made from time tested, full tang 1095 Cro Van carbon steel, the BK18 has a wide, harpoon style blade that is ready for some serious use. A high saber grind offers a balance of good durability and slicing performance with plenty of belly. Tapering the blade to a fine point for piercing, the harpoon swedge enhances the tip strength for tactical use. A short section of jimping behind the swedge adds some traction while the durable tan powder coat finish delivers a discreet, non-reflective and corrosion resistant finish.

Handle: Contoured polymer handles are attached to the full tang via stainless steel hardware and offer a lightweight, durable and weather resistant handle that is both comfortable and secure in multiple grip positions. An exposed portion of the tang can be used for improvised striking or hammering while a milled hole allows for lanyard attachment.

Sheath: Carries via a rugged, MOLLE compatible, molded polymer sheath with nylon drop loop.

1095 Cro Van: Based on 1095 carbon steel with the addition of small amounts of Vanadium, Molybdenium, Nickel and Chrome for improved wear resistance and toughness. Easy to sharpen, takes a fine edge, non-stainless and requires care to prevent corrosion.
