Product Description
When Ethan Becker set out to create this series of KA-BAR knives, he aimed to produce a line for serious outdoorsmen and enthusiasts. The KA-BAR Becker BK21 Reinhardt Kukri is no exception Read More
The generic problem with all the knives in the Becker BK series is ... if you want them to be useful as anything other than a display piece, you have to shell-out another 40-60+ dollars for decent set of aftermarket grips. (unless you're handy with a Dremel or file, and can add some texture to the factory grips) This drop would have been perfect if they included a set of G10 handles for example. It ends up being a $160+ kukri by the time you're finished otherwise.
"Both an EDC knife and a military weapon..."
Don't worry, work-mates, this massive Kukri is just for opening boxes and clamshell packages. The description said it was an EDC knife...
This is an odd looking kukri. The original kukri I've seen have all had the angle further from the handle. The purpose of that angle is provide a "hacking" portion of the cutting edge that is positioned to work with a flick of the wrist. The further that angle point from the wrist, the more power that can be generated - kind of like swinging a golf club. It is unclear how this configuration is supposed to work. Of course one could simply slash with the full swing of the arm, but I'm not sure that would be any more efficient than swinging a machete. Anybody have an explanation?
kind of funny reading how people dont find it a good deal, when here in the UK the cheapest i could find it was nearly $200, and shipping was only $7 so that made it a good buy for me.... cheers Massdrop.
