- Newly announced from Ethan Becker and KA-BAR, the BK41 is a smaller, more EDC friendly version of the smash hit, the BK40 Folder. And David is happy to see another Nessmuk in the BK19 fixed blade. We actually got a chance to look at these back at SHOT Show, so we’ll flash back to that great conversation about these new knives.

I LOVE the pointier take on the Nessmuk! The blunted points on them are exactly why I have never been drawn to Nessmuks.
the blunted tip is great for making concave holes for fire starting with a bow and stick... if i need POINTY, i have other tools for that. remember, Nessmuk had a system... 3 tools. also he has Tuberculosis apparently, weighed like 99 lbs, and was "weight conscious" - the original ultralight camper :)
I could watch the 2 of you discussing knives for hours. Please, David...start a new series where you get to interview these absolute legends of the craft about their stories, what they've learned about knife making and the industry, and their own favorite knives. Just 4 or 5 a year would be amazing and would provide insights into this hobby that many of us crave without the hype and clickbait.
Man I 2nd this comment!!!
YESSSS! I just made a very similar comment as I too could watch these two shoot the sh*t for hours honestly! I think it'd make for some great vids, really
DCA Knifecast: Ethan Becker, Joe Flowers, Ben Peterson 👌
This is a good idea.
@@-Craptastic- I'd watch/listen to either one!
I’ve wanted to try a nessmuk for ages but was put off by the blunt tip. I think I’ve just found my first nessmuk.
Hey DCA you guys are really entertaining to watch, and I'm pretty sure others enjoyed it as well. Have you ever considered an occasional series where you interview/talk with industry folks like Mr Becker here? I think that could make for some really great and super interesting content!
Something to think about, maybe, if you haven't already considered it ofc 👍🏼👍🏼
That's a really great idea!
@@douglassmith3901 Hey thanks! And yea, I'd watch the heck out of something like that if they made it. DCA has a great demeanor about him that I think would translate very well to interviews. Not sure Knife Center will ever go for it - but here's to hoping, right? 😎👍🏼
Such a legend here, folks. Still kicking out amazing functional knives w KaBar quality 💪
"What's his face?" LOLOLOL I love it! I did not give him all THAT much grief about it... I just said the BK17 was better option for me because I like black walnuts and the 17 had the pointier tip.😁
hey, at least he didn't say MY name ;). lol.
That ‘muk is awesome. What a legend Ethan is. Thanks David.
Got the BK19 today. Exactly as anticipated! It is a flat grind BK16 with a more delicate "stabby" spear point tip, nothing more. Edge is rough ground "toothy" but working sharp. I'll reprofile and polish it. Sheath has good retention. Over all, No complaints, NONE. I hope somebody does a version in black. I like the profile a little bit better than the BK18 "harpoon". I am a BK17 fan. You can't go wrong with any of these BK tweener's.
KC should do an exclusive BK41 or the bigger version in micarta and cruwear
Or BOTH!!!!
I have the BK18 Harpoon and really enjoy it! The 19 looks interesting and it may have to come hang out with us! 👍🏼
The BK41 is the correct size
I'm so conflicted now. I thought I really wanted the Spartan designed and Kabar made Nessmuk, but now I think I want the Becker Nessmuk
Get BOTH 🤣
Just absolutely love Mr. Becker. Sir if you ever read this. Your knives will forever be around. The wisdom you've given this community in your designs will always be appreciated. Wish I could one day meet you in person and shake your hand. Please never stop doing what you do. Your a legend and always will be. Thank you Sir!
There is much wisdom within this conversation.
I found another knife under my couch this morning
I was wiping my butt after a healthy crap and felt a dingleberry, oh wait just a missing 5th pocket carry of mine.
Hate when that happens! 😂😂
@@jerrymuns Why would you carry a dingleberry in your 5th pocket...?
I tend to keep mind in my wallet
My couch is made out of knives.
@@paynekiller75 lol
Kabar has also just came out with the Becker BK72 which is a BK2 with S35VN Steel , Micarta Scales and a Kydex Sheath , it cost about $250 and you can only get it at Knife and Tool in the Netherlands....👍🖖
Whata great conversation… that’s the kind of thing that really makes my day… 🎉
Amazing. He looks like he could be David’s dad. Lol. What great company and how lucky you are DCA to have amazing friends and old school role models.
I'm getting the sense I'll be watching too much youtube this weekend.
Intimate time with The Legend. Priceless clip for sure mate. Cheers DCA & Thomas.!!
Alright just in time for the Blade show updates . Thank you sir
OMG the DIAL UP Internet sound again at 7:15 that is David’s ring tone for sure! it happened again in one of the shot show videos and he put his hand in his pocket to silence the phone 🤣
Agreed. 1095 CroVan is awesome imho.
Only steel i like more, after decades of experience, is Winkler's work with 80crv2.
No finer blade steels for me.
Owning and using everything from D2-Magnacut the new harder particle steels are sweet but way too chippy for what i use knives for.
I agree David, I'll be getting both myself. Question: will you be asking Ethan if he would make them with the black coating for order as well like you did with the BK18.
I have some expensive knives but I will always love my Beckers!!
Great content !!!! Thx again !😊
Honestly this Becker Nessmuk is one of the best releases of the year, folder or fixed, all brands. I'll be getting a few.
That BK19 looks real nice. Will it come in other colours, too? As always, KnifeCenter and DCA deliver a quality video.
Well if it's anything like the BK 18 it should also eventually come in black, too. I really hope it does as well, but I'm getting that BK 19 ASAP! That blade shape really, really appeals to me 😎
They come in black as a SMKW exclusive. Same for the BK18 harpoon. Picked up this BK19 for around $70 on sale last time I was in the store, and it’s my single favorite Becker fixed blade for EDC.
That folder has a really nice shape to it. I would prefer different handle material, though. Maybe there will be a "fancy" version or two.
Un maestro becker, saludos desde Mar del Plata, Argentina.
Glad to see Ethan moving away from sharpened prybars and finally offering an all-round outdoors knife. I love my Beckers going back to the Camillus days and a BK-7 in S30v is one of my prize possessions (I did a TK article on it) but the new Nessmuk is one of the best Beckers I've seen and also one of the best-designed Nessmuk knives I've seen. I prefer 1/8" or even thinner for a general outdoors knife but the full flat grind and distal taper really rescues this knife as a slicer for the outdoor kitchen, as does the hand clearance. Should also be a great design for woodcraft. As Ethan says, a knife should have a good point on the blade. This one looks perfect. On so many Nessmuk designs, the point looks more like Snoopy's nose. Although it's not quite the butcher knife of the original Nessmuk, I think GWS would love this knife and I also think it's an improvement from the original design. Better point and more hand clearance. Got mine on order. :) As for the folder, looks nice but liner locks are not my thing.
The Becker tweener knives have been available forever. The 14 is still being made, the 15 and 16 were discontinued. But I think they've seen his the bk18 is such a huge hit.
Cool! I already own 10 Beckers but i will probably buy a 41, MAYBE a 19... When they BOTH are offered in black. Leery of distal taper on knives though, i decided to not buy the Cold Steel Master Hunter because it has distal taper. I hear the new GSM CS Master Hunter ditched the distal taper though. Distal taper has a purpose on swords, seems totally unnecessary on a knife. Hoping the tip is not too thin on the 19.
I want both now
I have more than one of each of the tweeners BK-15,16,17,18 of course I will get the 19. Just purchased my BK19 moments ago. Now we wait! It looks like the 16 and 18 procreated?
THANK YOU
Looking forward to the BK19
Wow!! I love both knives, and I love Ethan's comments. 😂
Ethan is such a great guy and a legend of the knife industry. Thank you David/KnifeCenter for bringing us this interview.
Two nice knives and two warm good people. 😊
Great dude making great knives!
I may have to look into that beckmuk
Mr Becker can cook too ! A true renaissance man, knives made in America, dig it
Bon Jovi and Ethan Necker what a combo !
The weight is missing from the specs on the Nessmuk. It's good to know for all those interested.
I just love Ethan ☺️such a humble guy.
Could you please talk about your experience with the style carry clip on the becker? I've seen this on the GiantMouse Ace as well and shied away from purchasing that knife due to the clip. They look flimsy and just like a big paperclip that probably has very limited upgradeability.
Thanks in advance
I’d be all over that folder if it had the BK2 drop point blade profile.
New knives *YES*
Just might need that BK19.
Had high hopes for the Nessmuk, being a BK2 and 10 owner. Very first time I used it splitting kindling I must have went through a knot and significantly chipped the blade. Bad enough that Ka Bar sent me a new knife. Love that warranty but doesn’t give me confidence in the Nessmuk with how easy it broke. Hopefully it’s just a bad batch.
I'd love an Ethan series where it's just David and Ethan chatting about knives.
Love that BK19
Thank you, Mr. Becker. You made me dream come true...
Anybody know if the BK 16 scales fit this?
I love my Ka-bar's.😊
That small folder! Take mah money!
the only downside on the sheath is that *if* you want to increase the handle size width, the sheath is very restrictive (imho)
When will the BK41 be available?
Anyone know what the neck knife is he pulls out at 5:30?
Mr Ethan is a legend
Make the Nessmuk in Magnacut, Cruwear, 3V, 4V, Vanadis 4 Extra or similar, keep the color scheme and I will happily buy one
but then people would complain about the price :D
BK's are awesome
What about the bk72?
I’d like to see the 19 and 16 directly compared.
I wish the bk16 came with that kind of sheath the 19 has
I see me getting me. Another bk knife. Or two !
That BK19 looks to me very much like a Canadian Belt Knife pattern - which is hands down one of my favourite knife designs of all time. Its now high on my knife 'must get' list.
Personally, the thing that's kept me from really loving the Nessy pattern has been the exagerrated 'whale' hump and blunt point of it. YMMV
And Ethan Becker... What can you say about that guy and his designs over the years? He's a pillar in the knife community.
Agreed all around! This is also the first Nessmuk that I've been interested in because it's not so... Nessmuk-ish(?) This has a much more narrow tip than usual and I really like that mid size. I already have and love the BK 18 Harpoon that shares the same sheath, so this is gonna be an instant buy for me!
What a sympathetic guy!
Just a common case stockman/wrangler. And a carbon sodbuster. No big problem I’m guessing it’s a wording issue. Your company won’t usps so I have to be sure to be around when. Ups/fed ex delivers it
The fixed blade is really nice. Better than their harpoon looking one
I'm liking the neck knife he had. Anybody know what it is?
BK11 -DCA
These folders with micarta scales would be pretty neat. Sorry if it was addressed in the video. Lot of noise going on.
That BK19 looks great, but I would want different scales for it.
Ka-Bar makes micarta scales that fit these and all of the smaller Beckers (BK15,16,17,18,19)
Do you keep any stock in your facility or is it all shipped to the consumer by your supplier
We have our warehouse right next to our office and everything ships from us -DCA
I really like this folder and am thankful they took the risk to do it in baby poop brown. I’ve always been a fan of this color but you rarely ever see it, for obvious reasons. I have sworn off D2 though as there are better performing steels in stainless at same budget price so I’m gonna have to pass.
How are you guys, excellent knife, but when we will have the honor of having the bk72 in America, a hug
3:30 I'm french, not a native with perfect english language, and I don't get the image with the fly. Can someone help me, please ? Thx in advance.
Gear knife have it in black
Send those fixed blades to JOE X!
Do we know yet where the new folder will be made?
China as always. Kabar loves their sweatshop labor.
The larger version is Chinese made, iirc. Even still, the larger one is a great knife so I think it's pretty likely the smaller one will be, too!
@@paynekiller75 larger one is made in China for sure. Hoping the new one will be made literally anywhere else.
Thanks for the response.
J’adore votre présentation, posée,calme, Découverte de mr becker, grand monsieur, je possède le Bk18 , Le bk72 n’est pas pour l’Europe,…..dommage, salutations de France, Bourgogne.😊
That Ethan becker sounds like a real good dude.
My world is shook upon finding out Ethan Becker wears 5.11 clothes
Jeans….Levi’s 511
I'm pretty sure Levis 511 are skinny jeans... doubt Mr. Becker wears skinny jeans
@@nickmehan2392 didn’t you see him stand up at the end?
@@nickmehan2392 yeah he was 100% talking about 5.11 cargo pants. I've never seen him in jeans period.
Call it the “BeckMuk”
My issue is this knife is over 120 dollars plus shipping thats some serious inflation for becker knife and 1095 cro van isnt worth that much. I was like finally a nessmuk that hits but yeah nope.
Just an opinion. I’m going to Hungary. Bk19. Bk16. Or bk18
Your website says out of stock Ships in two to three days. When I called for an update I was told that the supplier had it I. Stock and should ship in a week. Now you say stock is next door. I don’t care which it is but you don’t send usps and I need to make sure I’m around to pick it up
If we have the item in stock it is in our warehouse on location. If it is out of stock we get more from our suppliers. What item are you looking at? If it is saying typically ships in two to three days and that isn't the case, I will let our team know that it might need to be updated. Thanks! -DCA
like it, just not a fan of thumb studs
With all these companies putting out d2 blades why am i being told to stay away from d2?
Never been a big Nessmuk fan, but I really like that BK19. The "Beckerized" version looks way more useful.
No offense against anyone, but in an ideal world DCA would be my son in law and Mr. Becker my father in law 😁
he could pass as your father
in stone wash😁😁😁
Looks like the BK19 will be No: 7 in my BK collection , can,t wait , 😁
I had a BK&T Patrol Machete go missing in a move years ago. Please bring it back!
I can't with Becker! The handles are kid crap!!
The day Becker dies is the day I get the BK3 :(
D2! 😒 time to move on from that basic.
What is going on with KnifeCenter and horrible Blade Show coverage. First vid I see is a choppy video of Ben doing his Knafs Lander 2 launch. Now this video of an interview not from Blade Show but months ago from Shot Show. Come on DCA and KnifeCenter. Time to shift my business to SMKW as they have much better Blade Show coverage.
Hate the color.....
