When the american founder of Becker Knife and Tool, Ethan Becker, sought out to create the new KA-BAR knife designs, he wanted to produce a series of knives for serious outdoorsmen and enthusiasts. His work is a favorite among community members for its precise designs, attention to detail, and durability. For a smaller, lighter EDC or camping knife, the BK16 Short Becker Drop Point is a strong contender. It’s ideal as a utility camping knife and a lighter alternative to the BK2/22. When paired with a larger knife, it’s the perfect addition to a survivalist’s camping pack or as a general EDC option.
