The BK&T COMBAT/UTILITY 7 has been designed specifically for soldiers and adventurers requiring a sturdy but lightweight combat knife that can stand up to hard use. The inspiration for the COMBAT/UTILITY 7 is the timeless MK-2 FIGHTING KNIFE that CAMILLUS CUTLERY helped develop during the second world war.
The COMBAT/UTILITY 7 has a 7\" 0170-6C carbon tool steel blade that is tough enough for any field task and is flat ground to the BECKER shaving sharp edge. The steel is coated with a protective matte black epoxy/powdercoat finish for stealthy protection against elements.
The brawny .188\" thick clip point blade is the perfect complement for a knife that may be used for piercing as well as prying. An integral inline hammering pommel has been engineered into the blade tang and is useful for a variety of military and survival uses.
The sheath is OD green Nylon and has a Kydex insert to shield the blade. The sheath has a gusseted front accessory pouch that can house survival gear, sharpeners, multitool, etc. The belt loop is large enough to accommodate a GI pistol belt, and also features ALICE clip slots for attachment to LBE gear. The sheath has a \"pull the dot\" snap loop, and set of eyelets for lashing the knife into the sheath, thus providing dual retention to be \"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.
