Ka-Bar Knives, which already has over 100 knives to offer, just upped the ante (and the total knives in their lineup) with the new limited edition Becker Bundock Bowie. Ka-Bar isn’t stopping there, either; We’re told they are throwing two additional knives into the deal if you buy the new Bowie, free of charge. They are the Machax and the Becker Magnum Camp. This 3 for 1 deal is the BK20 Package.

The Becker Machax is a fixed blade with a kukri shape. It weighs in at just a pound, with a blade thickness of .188 of an inch. The length of the blade is 9.375 inches, with an overall length of 14.687 inches.

The Becker Magnum Camp is a slick looking 8-inch blade with a trailing point shape. With an overall length of 13.5 inches, it weighs just three quarters of a pound. The blade’s thickness is equivalent to that of the Becker Machax and all have a full tang to boot.

Now that we’ve got the meat and potatoes out of the way, let’s get to the dessert of the deal; the BK2 Becker Bundock Bowie. This knife has a blade length over 10.8125 inches and a total length of 16.375 inches. Blade thickness is a quarter inch and total weight is 1.35 pounds.

Ka-Bar Knives says on their Instagram account that only 450 Becker Bundock Bowies were produced and once they are gone, they’re gone for good. With the hype they seem to be receiving, this limited edition knife and the deal tied to that might not taking to long.

If you are looking for a new knife, or simply wish to take advantage of the Ka-Bar BK20, then you should check out their website soon.

Here's a short video about it.

Just a bit more about the iconic Ka-Bar:

According to John Stitt, Ka-Bar president, in 1898, the Tidioute Cutlery Co. was founded by two brothers in Tidioute, PA. In 1902 they changed their name to Union Razor and again in 1912, to Union Cutlery company. During World War II, the U.S. Marines sought a stronger knife than the ones they had, so the Union Cutlery co. submitted the Marine Combat Knife. A weapon with a 7-inch blade, stacked leather washer handle grip, and a single stamp bearing “Ka-Bar Olean NY.” It is considered the most widely recognized and used knife of World War II. This knife is what Ka-Bar attributes their legacy to. In 1952 the Name was changed again, this time to Ka-Bar, due to the wide spread popularity of the Marine Combat Knife.
