From the Becker Knife and Tool
Company / Camillus Website;
BK-71 COMBAT UTILITY ™ -"Desert
Series" New for 2003, the Desert
series are the latest Becker Knife
and Tool variations of the BK-7,
BK-9, and BK-10 tailored towards
the immediate needs of the American
soldiers serving overseas. The Desert
tan blade coating is a thermally
cured polymer finish that is scuff
and corrosion resistant. This finish
was especially chosen for low maintenance
and high durability in harsh environments.
The trademark Becker GV6H thermoplastic
alloy ergonomic handles of the Desert
series knives are finished in a unique
disrupted desert tan pattern that
will blend into the current issue
camouflage pattern fatigues better
than the standard black handle. A
tan propex nylon sheath with an internal
kydex liner comes standard with every
Desert series knife.
