KA-BAR / Becker “CREWMAN” Fixed Blade Survival Utility Knife. Ethan Becker has now reintroduced the BK-10 CREWMAN made exclusively through KA-BAR Knives. The BK-10 was Ethan Becker’s original design as a replacement for the early issued pilot survival knife of many years ago. The Crewman is constructed of 0.188” thick 1095 Cro-Van steel with a hardness rating of 56-58. ETHAN BECKER Ethan Becker is a man after our own heart. An avid outdoorsman who enjoys martial arts and hunting, Becker founded Becker Knife and Tool Corporation in the early 1980’s to design the industrial-strength tactical and survival knives he’d always wanted for himself. What we love about Becker, other than his innovative designs, is that he spends so much time in the outdoors testing new equipment and designs. KA-BAR is proud to be the manufacturer of Becker Knife & Tool products – all brought up to date and approved by Becker himself. This full tang drop point knife offers a 5 ½” straight edge blade which has been flat ground to 20-degree edge angle for an excellent cutting edge and better edge retention. The overall length of this survival knife measures 10 7/8” The knife offers a thumb ramp for added stability when applying pressure while cutting, a glass shattering extended pommel, and black Ultramid scales. The Crewman comes with its own Molle compatible Heavy-Duty Polyester sheath with front cargo pocket for sharpeners or fire starter items. The Crewman is made exclusively in Olean, New York and proudly etched with the BK&T / KA-BAR brand name. One of the many unique made to work knife designs of Ethan Becker.
