## Description

Ethan Becker founded Becker Knife & Tool in the early 1980's and set about designing, manufacturing and selling the industrial-strength tactical and survival knives that he had always wanted for himself. His products, the BK&T line, have gone a long way to making these now popular all-black knives in demand. The Kabar Becker Crewman knife is no different. It is made of. 188" thick 1095 Cro-Van Steel and offers a 5 1/2" straight edge blade. It has a black zytel handle and includes a heavy-duty polyester sheath with front pocket. The KA-BAR Becker BK10 is sure to be a hit with salty Beckerheads and those just learning about the brand.

Review: An Excellent All-Around Bug Out Bag Knife! - The Becker Crewman is my primary knife and tool for my bug out bag, which is accompanied by a folder and a multi-tool. Superb blade construction, with the heft that's necessary to baton wood, yet the sharpness to feather twigs. Full tang construction, comfortable handle, and nice balance. Feels good in the hand. For my application, this knife replaces the need to carry an axe as well, which saves you precious space and weight in a B.O.B. For large diameter limbs and trees, consider getting a high quality chain saw, such as the 36" Chainmate sold on desertcart. An important requirement for me was the exposed tang at the base of the handle to use as a glass breaker, hammer, striker, and skull cracker should the need ever arise. Give it a very lite coating of knife, gun, or mineral oil after use, and before storage, to protect the blade, even though it has the protective black coating applied at the factory. Use paracord, preferably a reflective/high visibility color, to attach to the hole at the base of the handle to help to locate it easier if dropped or lost. The nylon sheath is just OK in my opinion. It does have the nice feature of a pocket attached to the front of the sheath, which can store a multi-tool or fire starter. Molle compatible for easy mounting options. The sheath has a plastic blade insert which is a bit noisy. When the blade is inserted, the knife rattles back and forth. However, the knife does secure well in the sheath, and the strap snaps used are much preferred over velcro straps. You may want to consider a Kydex sheath upgrade at some point if the noise bothers you. I wouldn't base my decision to purchase this knife on the sheath alone, so don't let it sway you one way or the other. This is a great knife with an optimum size, and should take just about any abuse you can give it. I wanted a knife that I could beat the heck out of and have no worries that I would still be able to rely on it for years to come. This knife fits the bill quite well, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect B.O.B. or camping knife.
Review: Excellent. - I happen to love the kabar Becker line. 1095 crovan steel, a plethora of models to choose from, you name it. I’ve owned the bk2,7,9,16 and 11. I was looking for something smaller than the 7 or 9, but slightly larger than the 16 for chopping. The 2 is great but it’s like carrying a 2x4 with a sharp edge. It’s too heavy to have for most camping/hiking treks. I got the 10 as it was basically a lighter 2. I’ve held off for years and I do not know why. It came out of the box shaving sharp. Already beat the hell out of it and it’s only been a couple hours. Still has a great edge, but is easy to sharpen when you’ll need to. It’s relatively light for its size, and the tip is strong but gives you a ton of penetration. The Becker line isn’t known for its super amazing sheaths, but it works just fine and is sturdy. It will do exactly why you need it to. The Molle compatibility, belt snap/Velcro so you don’t have to remove your belt to put it on, as well as the pouch are nice touches. Also, like the other Beckers, the scales are a bit slick but the micarta scales are a good upgrade.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this compare to the (smaller) Becker BK-16, especially for belt carry, and finer cutting camp tasks?**
A: The BK10 is an above average crew / survival knife that "can" be used for a camp / woods knife ( I cut down the thumb ramp on mine for more control on smaller tasks ).  The BK16 is a fair utility knife, I don't like the flat grind instead of the original sabre grind.  I have both knifes and don't use the 16.  The 10s sheath is one inch longer.

**Q: Without considering handle materials and sheaths, what can this knife do that a BK2 cannot do? (I'm a Becker/Camillus Campanion user.)**
A: Frankly, the knives are similarly sized (I have both this and a Campanion) and have similar capabilities.  The Crewman is lighter, though only by about 4 ounces, and a slightly thinner blade Campanion is 1/4 inch thick while Crewman is 3/16 inch think that alters the balance in the hand.  To me, the Crewman feels livelier. I have found it the Crewman easier to maneuver and work on finer tasks.  The Campanion has about a 1/4 inch shorter blade.  The Crewman's false edge is useful for some tasks.  Both are sound fixed blades.

**Q: how thick is spine**
A: J.c.h. - Hi, not sure why the others answering this question for you are having trouble measuring their knives!!  The spine is approximately 3/16" inch thick OR exactly 0.188 inches thick as listed in the technical specifications on the Ka-Bar website.  It's less than 5mm thick (5mm = 0.196 inches)......again, the BK-10 is 0.188 or 3/16" thick which is the same as the longer/bigger brother; the BK9.  In the world of blade thickness.....a HUGE difference!  The BK2 is 1/4" or 0.250 thick.  I hope this helps you.  I recommend 1/4" knives for your SHTF blades and 3/16" for your everyday/camping type stuff.  Thanks.

**Q: Is it as thick as the bk2?**
A: No, this one is NOT as thick as the BK2.

*by J***K on December 13, 2016*

The KA-BAR BK-10 is an excellent product. I have used it extremely vigorously and it has perform without fail. The blades thickness give it a good amount of weight for a good chop. I have used it multiple times as a throwing knife and the tip has not bent nor broken. When it arrived the blade came extremely sharp and could shave hair off a person. The handle is very comfortable in hand and doesn't scratch skin or anything of the sort with extensive holding and use. It is exceptional at chopping and carving wood. It is a full tang knife and had some weight to it. The thumb grip is nice and I feel in complete control of the knife at all times. I have used objects to hit the reverse side of blade to split wood and the knife has retained no damage. It's sheath had worked well. The double snap straps and never allowed my knife to unsheath unknowingly. Its front pocket fits a small stone or other tools. It's connects well to any belt or strap, and had webbing on the back to connect to a military vest or back pack. I use this knife and case for a wide range of application and they have shown minimal wear.
