Hehold the KA-BAR BK3 Becker Tac Tool, a tactical fixed blade that redefines the concept of rugged knives. This extraordinary knife is built to withstand harsh conditions, endure relentless abuse, and surpass all expectations.
Renowned knifemaker Ethan Becker and seasoned 37-year police veteran John Benner collaborated to design the Becker Tac Tool specifically for urban SWAT teams. These experts needed a dependable tool capable of prying, chopping, hacking, chiseling, hammering, and more. While it was created with SWAT teams in mind, the BK3 has evolved into a versatile survival tool for various applications.
At the core of the Tac Tool lies its formidable blade. Measuring an impressive 7 inches in length, the blade is constructed from 1095 Cro-Van steel and boasts a robust quarter-inch thickness. Its partially serrated edge effortlessly opens doors and features a slot on the backside, providing an additional method for cutting ropes or performing life-saving actions.
A powerful tool demands an equally robust handle, and KA-BAR delivers on this front. The Ultramid handle scales epitomize durability and comfort. Even during intense tasks like breaking through windows, your hand will experience a comfortable grip akin to holding a plush pillow.
This knife is proudly made in the USA and includes a MOLLE compatible hard plastic sheath, facilitating easy and convenient carrying.
Whether you're serving your country overseas or venturing through dense forests, having this resilient knife by your side is essential. Get ready to embrace the ultimate hard-use tool that surpasses all boundaries.

Making a quality KA-BAR product requires the talent of experienced craftspeople performing dozens of processes with precision and skill. Each knife undergoes specific manufacturing processes to ensure corrosion resistance, strength, edge holding ability, and an out-of-the-box razor sharp cutting edge.
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.
