The Becker Necker is one of those rare things for knife collectors: a great blade at a cheap price. Although marketed as a neck knife, the BK11 actually feels more suited as a small belt knife for general use. In fact when comparing the knife to more popular competitors like the Rat Cutlery RC-3, the BK11 is able to hold its own while still maintaining a reasonable price point. With a few small changes to the knife and its included accessories, I feel the Becker Necker would become a hit for affordable outdoor use knives. The Becker Necker features: - Full flat ground drop point blade design - 1095 Cro-Van Steel with Epoxy Coating - Overall length 6.75 inches (17.15 cm) - Blade length 3.25 inches (8.26 cm) - Weight: 2.4 ounces (68.04g) - HRC: 56-58 - SHARP out of the Box - Integrated bottle opener and wire breaker on butt of handle - Included: Glass-filled Nylon Sheath with lash point for paracord and is compatible with the Kabar TDI Belt Clip (sold separately approx -15) - Included: 7 feet (2.13 meters) of black 550 paracord - Retail: .69, available at Amazon.com for with free shipping Things I would change: - Should offer the package with the TDI belt clip included to save overall cost - Should offer (cheap) handle scales for the knife for better grip - Eliminate the middle hump on the handle to make the knife more ergonomic - Loosen the retention on the sheath just a little bit
