KA-BAR Becker BK19 Nessmuk Fixed Blade Knife

A Classic Bushcraft Design Reimagined by Ethan Becker.

The KA-BAR Becker BK19 Nessmuk Fixed Blade Knife brings one of the most respected traditional outdoor blade profiles into the modern Becker Knife & Tool range. Designed by Ethan Becker, the BK19 combines the time-tested Nessmuk blade shape, long admired within the bushcraft community for its versatility, with the robust construction and premium materials that have become synonymous with KA-BAR. Proudly manufactured in Olean, New York, using German 1095 Cro-Van steel, this discontinued model is an outstanding choice for collectors and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Its 4.3-inch Nessmuk-style blade is crafted from premium 1095 Cro-Van high carbon steel, renowned for exceptional toughness, reliable edge retention and ease of sharpening. The distinctive broad blade profile excels at a wide range of camp and woodland tasks, from food preparation and carving to general utility work. Finished in a durable black protective coating, the blade combines traditional inspiration with modern resilience, making it equally at home in the field or as part of a Becker collection.

The ergonomic Ultramid® handle scales provide excellent comfort and a secure grip during prolonged use. Their contoured shape allows precise control for detailed carving while offering enough purchase for heavier outdoor tasks. Owners looking to personalise their knife can also fit BK16HNDL Micarta handle scales, giving the BK19 additional customisation options while retaining the same dependable full tang construction.

A durable black polymer sheath is included, providing secure blade retention and practical carry for camping, bushcraft and outdoor adventures. Now discontinued, the KA-BAR Becker BK19 Nessmuk Fixed Blade Knife has become increasingly sought after by Becker enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate its unique blend of traditional blade design and modern American craftsmanship.
