KA-BAR Becker BK22 Companion Knife
One of the heaviest knives in the Ka-Bar range. This knife can handle its own. The blade is 6.6 mm thick and made from 1095-carbon steel. This steel, however, is not corrosion-resistant. Fortunately the blade is enhanced with a black coating to make sure maintenance is a lot easier. Thanks to its thickness and the forgiving features of the 1095-steel this knife can handle almost anything: it is pretty much impossible to break. In addition, the knife is easy to sharpen which is why this knife is so incredibly popular.The comfortable handle is made from Zytel. A durable light-weight and strong type of plastic.

Serious Steel for Tough Jobs
by Sean -
I love this knife, as impractical as it is! It's a very heavy beast of a thing, you'd easily be able to cut your way out of the Land Rover with it, with a full half kilo of steel in your hand. Despite the weight, I still think if I had to hike light with a pack I'd take this and do away with the hatchet and other knives, and just use this for everything. I imagine I'll depart this dear Earth before this knife does, hopefully one of my daughters will be strong enough to wield it after I'm gone!
