CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe KA-BAR BK19 Becker Nessmuk with Kuiu Vias Camo Cerakote is a rugged custom take on a proven field knife. This version keeps all the strength and utility of the original—designed by Ethan Becker and inspired by George Washington Sears’ classic Nessmuk pattern—but adds a head-turning camo blade finish that’s all grit, no gimmicks. The 4.875" 1095 Cro-Van steel blade is tough enough to baton firewood, break down game, or carve a trap trigger without flinching, and now it’s finished with a premium Kuiu Vias Camo Cerakote expertly applied by Liberty Bell Firearms.
That camo coating doesn’t just look good—it adds extra corrosion resistance and makes the blade vanish into the wild, whether you’re deep in hardwoods or setting up base camp in rocky terrain. The sweeping belly and high flat grind make it ideal for skinning, slicing, and fine camp tasks, while the solid spine and sharp edge mean it’s ready for heavier work when needed.
The handle stays true to the original: durable Ultramid shaped for a secure, fatigue-free grip in all conditions. Whether you’re working in the rain or gloved up in the cold, this handle won’t let go. A heavy-duty Celcon sheath comes with it, providing reliable carry and quick access.
This is the kind of knife you stake your trip on—field-proven, purpose-built, and dressed in a custom finish that reflects a life lived outdoors. It’s a rare blend of performance and personality that won’t stay on the shelf for long.
