Bushcraft Excellence, Time-Tested Design

The KA-BAR Becker BK19 Nessmuk is a premier fixed blade designed by Ethan Becker, merging a legendary wilderness profile with modern tactical durability. Optimized for the bushcraft community, the BK19 features the iconic Nessmuk blade shape, characterized by its distinct hump and deep belly for superior slicing and skinning. Manufactured in Olean, NY, using premium German 1095 Cro-Van steel, the blade is finished in a rugged burnt bronze coating that provides both visual distinction and enhanced corrosion resistance. The handle is constructed from durable Black Ultramid, sharing the proven ergonomics of the BK18 series for a comfortable, fatigue-reducing grip during extended field use. Secured in a USA-made Celcon polymer sheath, the BK19 is an incredibly durable and versatile tool built for serious outdoor survival.
