KA-BAR® Becker Nessmuk Knife – Model #BK19
The KA-BAR® Becker BK19 Nessmuk is the latest addition to the Becker Knife & Tool line, designed by Ethan Becker for bushcraft enthusiasts and outdoorsmen. Inspired by the classic BK18 Harpoon, the BK19 features similar handle scales, a Celcon® sheath, and a striking burnt bronze finish, but stands apart with its fan-favorite Nessmuk blade shape, optimized for precise carving, bushcraft tasks, and general camp chores.
Crafted from raw German 1095 Cro-Van steel and manufactured in Olean, NY, the BK19 combines toughness, edge retention, and dependable performance in a compact, lightweight package. Its Ultramid® handle ensures a secure grip, and the knife is compatible with BK16HNDL Micarta® handles for customization. Like all KA-BAR knives, the BK19 is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
