Customers are mixed about the sheath. Some mention that it's great, sturdy, and versatile. Others however, say that it is overkill for the knife and makes you look like you're deploying.

"...The sheath is ambidextrous if you need it to be, although a left hand use will have the handle a bit off line, but it works just fine all the same...." Read more

"...The BK15's blade is longer, so the sheath sticks out too far on the BK16/17. That's a design flaw in my opinion, even if it doesn't hurt anything...." Read more

Fantastic bit of kit
5 Stars
Fantastic bit of kit
Phenomenal knife, the kind you buy for life. Swap out some scale handles and snag a hard sheath to really take it to the next level, original handles are a little slippery and you'll end up cutting up the included sheath. Perfect size for a do-it-all fixed blade.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this knife
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2017
First of all, the the picture on here is wrong. The bk16 in the picture is a saber grind, and the standard production bk16 has a flat grind. If you are looking for the saber grind bk16 this is not it despite what the picture would have you believe.

That being said, I love this knife! The second I had it in my hand it just felt "right". The ergonomics of the handle are great. It sharpens relatively easily. The design of the blade allows it be slim enough to be a good slicer, but beefy enough to handle some batoning. It quickly became my every day carry knife. I work in landscaping and typically use this knife in the place of pruning shears. It can handle bigger branches and is more versatile than pruning shears. But I'm a little bias because I'm a "knife guy" any way. I also love that it has a flat grind as opposed to a scandi grind or a saber grind.

The knife is fine out of the box, but if you want a really nice bk16 I would recommend some modifications to push it to the next level. On my knife I stripped the coating off of the blade to reduce drag while cutting. I put a grey patina on the blade by dipping it into boiling white vinegar. I also re-profiled my edge at a 15 degree angle, and replaced the handle scales with the micarta scales that ka-bar sales. I then dyed the scales with the Rit brand of dye that is sold at Walmart. The stock scales are amazingly ergonomic, but are too slick for me. The micarta scales give the knife better grip, and a classier look. If you don't want to buy new scales but want to increase the grip then you could just put some "ranger bands" around the handle, or grind some groves into it with a dremel tool. Last, I made a leather sheath for it because I'm just not a fan of the sheath that it comes with. The sheath feels bulky for such small knife, and has too much of military style look for my tastes. I'll try to put some pics up of the knife in use and after modification.

Pros: knife is solid, has flat grind, comes with a thick protective coating, has amazing ergonomics, is reasonably priced, has a great blade design, is made of good materials, has after market scales and sheaths for sale.

Cons: handle scales are slick, comes with a protective coating that is a bit thick, has less than impressive sheath

Over all I think this knife is amazing for the price. Even with out the modifications I feel like this is the closest you can get to perfection for the price. I would recommend this knife to any one who is looking for a full tang bushcraft or EDC knife under $100. Are there better knives on the market? Sure there are, but get ready to pay an extra $50-$100.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for fine wood work! High quality durable
Reviewed in Canada on December 18, 2019
I love this knife! When you first see this knife you will most likely say to yourself "it looks smaller than I thought" Dont be fooled its solid for its size and sized this way for control and percision. It arrived razor sharp and passed the shave hair test. The BK-16 is perfect for smaller bush craft jobs. I would recommend pairing it with a BK-9 or your favorite bowie knife for wood chopping or batoning, there is NO knife that does it all your gonna want more than one.
This is the actual Becker BK-16 the add does not show that for some reason as of this post. The knife came in the original factoy packaging and included the extra tan colored handle set not shown in the add.
This is the real deal you can buy with confidence!
Can go wrong with a beck BK-16. Remember this is Ethan Beckers favorite knife and the man knows knives.
