Ka-Bar Becker Short Drop Point BK16 Fixed Blade

Ka-Bar Becker Short Drop Point BK16

The Becker Short Drop Point is a no-nonsense field knife designed for serious outdoor work. This is a tool that understands its purpose: reliable cutting performance in demanding conditions.

Design and Construction

Forged from 1095 Cro-Van steel, this blade represents a proven combination of edge-holding capability and field repairability. The flat-ground edge maintains its sharpness through extended use and can be restored with basic equipment when needed—a practical consideration for anyone working far from civilization.

The drop point blade geometry offers versatility. It excels at detail work while maintaining the strength needed for heavier cutting tasks. At 4.375 inches, the blade length strikes a balance between capability and control.

Handle and Ergonomics

The Ultramid handle is engineered for secure grip in wet or gloved conditions. A ridged thumb serration area provides positive control during pressure cutting, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. The one-piece construction eliminates weak points that plague folding designs.

Practical Features

• Blade thickness: 0.165 inches for strength without excess weight
• Overall length: 9.25 inches—compact enough for belt or pack carry
• Sheath: MOLLE-compatible Cordura construction allows flexible mounting options
• Bonus: Includes an extra set of brown handles for customization or replacement
• Made in the USA

This is a working knife, not a display piece. It delivers the performance serious outdoorsmen expect.
