KA-BAR Becker BK9 Combat Survival Knife with Standard Black and Custom Ivory Micarta Handles

The 229mm Combat Bowie is a useful performer in a variety of fieldcraft and combat chores. The stout, 4.8mm thick, 1095 CroVan carbon tool steel blade, is thinly ground for the ultimate in chopping with a deep belly and thin edge that still allows for controlled slicing. The short clip swedge gives the Combat Bowie a unique blade profile that pierces well but is strong enough for many prying and digging tasks. In addition, the grip tang of the Combat Bowie incorporates a uniquely shaped butt extension that will work well for most light hammering jobs in the field.

The Combat Bowie sheath is heavy-duty polyester with MOLLE compatability. This sheath has been extensively field tested overseas with the Combat Utility Model (BK-7) and has received many accolades from military and civilian users alike. An elasticised auxiliary pouch appropriately sized for a survival kit or spare handgun magazine is permanently attached to the front of the sheath.
