Ka Bar Bk11 Becker Necker Neck Knife
The new Becker Necker is altered with 1095 CroVan steel, a redesigned sheath, and marked with the new BK&T KA-BAR stamps. A black plastic injection molded glass-filled nylon sheath and 550 cord are included. Also note that the revised sheath for the Necker was designed to work with the TDI Metal Belt Clip–this allows for easy on-and-off mounting to a belt, in a boot, or on a tactical vest.
The Ka-Bar Becker Necker is the quintessential neck knife. The knife is made of 1095 Cro-Van steel, an easy-to-sharpen carbon steel that keeps it is edge well. The Becker Necker likewise includes a black plastic, injection-molded, glass-filled nylon sheath that’s designed to work with the TDI metal belt clip. As a result, it’s easy to mount the knife to a belt, boot, or tactical vest. Marked with the new Ka-Bar Becker stamp, the Necker is a true high-quality performer.

Modify the handle and worry no more. By JR Plaza It’s ~2 ounces and provides a world of function. This knife is an almost perfect trail companion. The blade itself is an excellent length and shape for everyday carry in the woods or around the workplace. The grind is flat and the spine of the blade is strong enough for prying tasks that I wouldn’t attempt with a folding knife. I recommend that you purchase a belt clip for the plastic, open bottom sheath and finding some material for a handle wrap. Out of box, the bare metal handle is uncomfortable for medium-large size hands, unless you place your index finger along the back of the blade. You can purchase after market, micarta scales for this knife which leave the bottle opener/wire breaker exposed. I believe that an even fuller sized handle would make this blade more comfortable/functional. The after-market, micarta scales may be fine, but my plan is to build a custom “micarta” handle from resin and canvas which will cover the full length of the tang. Some people recommend wrapping the handle with parachord. Even though a parachord wrap makes the knife more comfortable to use and visible around the camp site (if you use brightly colored chord), it’s still an addition which retains blood, grime, and bacteria. I want a tool which cleans fully and easily. Add a nice micarta or custom wood handle along with a brightly colored lanyard and you have all of your bases covered on a ~$30 “survival knife,” which is functionally of superior quality and value.

Hard to beat By Mr. William E. Russell 1095 steel in a great competitive package. This knife is a great size to carry daily, and I have no problem concealing it. The bottle opener works great. I have taken it camping and used it to make feather sticks as well as remove from bark from a sweet gum sapling for a skewer. I also used it for splitting down (small) cedar logs for kindling. It remained shaving sharp those normal camp tasks. I have also done a few different 550 para cord wraps on the handle, and it feels great in hand when wrapped. As a collector of knives (ranging from $20 to $400+) this is one of my smarter purchases.

perfect neck knife for outdoors By JelicoCat This is a perfect neck knife for it’s function. It’s light but not to small, a perfect companion to my Gerber LMF II. When I’m out in the woods I have this knife. It locks into the sheath and stays there till I need. It’s not the only knife I carry but it’s the knife I always carry.
