KABAR/Becker BK-19 Nessmuk 

I’ve always had a soft spot for Beckers. I carried a BK7 through the Marines as a infantry grunt and still have that bk7

Awesome. :) That could be worthy of a video.

@@cecilm3720 I do have a bk7 video

1095 or high carbon in general is the age old proven steel. It's easy to maintain in the field. Hundreds of years of mountain men survived with it. Best to go with it

Becker’s are always cool

Thanks for letting me borrow it

Ok this guys a liar, because I’m the one that bought this knife and let you review it.

I’m pretty impressed by this knife. It slices so well

Thank you. I always appreciate it

@@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors no problem

You won’t regret it

I highly suggest it and it’s like $100

Yea I looked on AZ, he didn’t have one for the bk19, not yet anyways

It’s hard to beat a Becker handle for sure. Thanks for watching

Any production knife can have a lemon here and there. That’s kind of part of it sometimes. It really depends on how their warranty is and their quality control.

It is. I think it’s my favorite muk I’ve tried this far

It is for everything. This one can be got on SMKW for right around $100

The pr4 is good, I had one and gave it away before doing a review

It does in a lot of ways! Agreed

I agree that the nessmuk needs to be flat grind. I'm not a scandi kind of guy but I do keep a cheap mira companion for easy notching and carving. Imo a companion knife needs to be flat grind. A large blade a sabre grind. There is competition between nessmuk and kephart knives. Which one do you think notches better? I'm sure the nessmuk is better for skinning and food prep. Do you think a nessmuk is slicier and better for feather sticking? I don't have a kephart but it seems a nessmuk is slicier

@@navigator1372 there is a lot of variables but generally the Nessmuk slices better. I also find I can do notches just fine without a Scandi grind

​@@thelasthuntsmanoutdoorsyeah. I can do notches pretty much with all my companion blades but the super light and cheap mora is a fast way to notch. I keep one just for that. My bk 19 is my favorite bug out bag companion blade. Better than the tops bob I have

They all slice really well, I’d lean on the bk19 over the 16 just because of the wider profile blade which generally slices better. The JG5 being thinner would probably slice better but I like the bk19 better than the JG5 in all honesty, the ergos and the fact it has a slight tactical flare to it would would make it better for edc/self defense. If it’s purely for Bushcraft the JG5

​​​​@@thelasthuntsmanoutdoorsthank you for your response. The reason I ask is my bk 16 doesn't cut as well as my joker montes 2 or joker corzo which are full flat grind. The montes 2 cuts better than the corzo and is 60 bux a year ago. Has stamina wood. I think I'll have to re profile my bk 16. Make a taller shallower edge. I love the montes 2 but I'm not a leather sheath kind of guy. I like the Becker sheath because you can attach a pouch to put a small sharpener and strop along with fire starting materials. I think it's smart to have what you need to maintain the knife on the sheath. I do carry a worksharp field sharpener as well
