Slicing Practice With Ka-Bar Becker BK5 and BK15

Published: 10 years ago

I saw an interview with Ethan Becker where he mentioned the BK15 would be excellent for martial artists. I have always thought the BK5 would be pretty good, too. In this video, we do some slicing strikes with these blades. I think this also shows why trailing point designs lend themselves to slicing, it puts the belly of the knife at the exact right angle for it.
