For 2002 Camillus Cutlery is introducing another stellar Ethan Becker designed combat/survival knife to the cutlery market with the release of the all-new Becker Combat Bowie, model BK-9.
Mr. Becker\'s latest combat-ready design is the culmination of over 30 years of survival and para-military training and outfitting experience. The Becker Combat Bowie is a synthesis of Becker\'s uniquely ergonomic trademark handle design with a traditionally profiled, highly effective American Bowie style blade. This trademark Becker handle is well known for allowing extended periods of heavy use with less user fatigue than most other knives in its class.
The 9\" Bowie inspired shape of the Combat Bowie is a useful performer in a variety of fieldcraft and combat chores. The stout .210\" thick 0170-6 high 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 Olive drab propex Nylon with an internal Kydex stiffener for user safety during hard use. This sheath has been extensively field tested overseas with the Combat Utility Model (BK-7) and has received many accolades from military and civilian user\'s alike. An elasticized auxiliary pouch appropriately sized for a survival kit or spare handgun magazine is permanently attached to the front of the sheath. This practical sheath is also ALICE compatible, and also jump-safe for Airborne operations.

About Becker
The Becker Knife and Tool Company has been at the forefront of hard use survival knives and tools since 1980. Chief designer and founder Ethan Becker, an avid outdoorsman since his youth, spent 25 years searching for the ideal "big knife" and eventually merged his two favorite bush blades - a Kukri and a WWII survival bolo - to make his first and most famous edged tool the "Machax". Ethan Becker was not content to rest after developing the Machax, and in conjunction with cutlery and survival experts worldwide has completed the development of the next generation of Becker knives for the new Millennium.
In 1999, the Becker Knife and Tool Company was acquired by Camillus Cutlery Company. For those who recall a few years back, Becker Knife and Tool produced very stout field grade fixed blades with such names and the Brute, Machax, Campanion, and the Jerry Fisk Magnum Camp Knife. They even added the Patrol Machete - a 14 inch recurved machete for serious work, and the Combat/Utility 7, a USMC Marine Combat inspired design equally at home for armed forces as it is on the camp site. All the knives in the Becker line are very well made and are strong as an ox. For fans of heavy use fixed blades, there is something in the Becker Knife and Tool line for everyone.
Since 1876, Camillus Cutlery Company has been providing the finest in edged tools from pocket knives to contract military weapons and bayonets. Camillus is committed to industry's growing needs with such offerings as Camillus traditional cutlery, Western brand knives, CUDA (Camillus Ultra Design Advantage) cutting edge products, and now Becker Knife and Tool.
In addition to refining these advanced designs, 0170-6 high carbon tool steel has been specially selected to give the Becker Knife and Tool line clear superiority in the edge-holding and toughness departments among its chief competitors. The ergonomic, trademark handle scales of the Becker Knife and Tool knives are molded of Swiss GV6H, a 60% glass filled thermoplastic polymer alloy for the ultimate in strength and durability. Kydex multi-carry sheath systems and a rugged black epoxy finish will be standard equipment for all models in the Becker Knife and Tool line.
Becker Knife and Tool, in conjunction with Camillus Cutlery Co., is committed to bringing the finest tactical and survival fixed blades of uncompromising quality and performance to cutlery enthusiasts and outdoor professionals at an affordable price.
