In the early 1980's, Ethan Becker founded Becker Knife and Tool, focusing on the large tactical and survival knives he had always wanted for himself. Ka-Bar began to introduce some of Ethan's more popular designs into their line up in late 2008. The BK40 Becker Folder was the first folding knife in the popular Becker Knife & Tool line. With the popularity of that folder Ka-Bar has released a smaller version. Both the BK40 & BK41 were designed as a serious working tool.

This folder has a 2-7⁄8" flat ground modified drop point blade of 1⁄8" thick D2 steel at 58-60 Rc. Measures 4-7⁄8" closed. The handle is brown glass-filled nylon with black coated stainless steel liners. The pocket clip is reversible for a tip-up or tip-down, right or left hand carry. Weighs 2.7 oz. Made in China. Suggested retail is $59.19.

KA-BAR

Soon after its introduction in the mid-1920's, the KA-BAR trademark became widely known and respected. There have been many versions of how the KA-BAR name came to be, but all evidence points to a letter received from a fur trapper. This particular fur trapper's testimonial turned out to be the most significant ever received by the company.

He wrote, in very rough English, that his gun had jammed and that he had therefore relied on his knife to kill a wounded bear that was attacking him. In thanking the company for their quality product the trapper described using his knife to kill the bear. All that was legible of his scrawled writing was "k a bar". The company was so honored by this testimonial that they adopted this phrase and used it as their trademark, KA-BAR.

KA-BAR is best known for their military production knives. They were chosen by the U.S. Marine Corp. as the primary knife producer for World War II. They also have traditional pocket knives, as well as many options for law enforcement.
