The first Becker folder from KA-BAR, the BK40 lives up to the fixed blade Becker Knives. It features excellent ergonomics, an ultra-solid stout build, and a streamlined pocket clip that is reversible and can be worn for tip-up or tip-down carry. Ethan Becker founded Becker Knife & Tool in the early 1980s and set about designing, manufacturing, and selling the industrial-strength tactical and survival knives that he had always wanted for himself. His products, the BK&T line, have gone a long way to making these now popular all-black knives in demand. Mr. Becker spends as much time as possible in the outdoors testing a variety of equipment and knife designs, and also works to expand his primitive and outdoor skills. He collaborated with KA-BAR in 2008 and has reintroduced and brought up to date his best selling models.
