What is the grind angle of the BK14? Also, is the sheath compatible with the Ka-Bar TDI clip?

Grind is 15 degrees. Pretty sure that is standard for the entire Becker line. According to KaBars website it is compatible with the TDI. I wasnt a fan of the sheath though. Retention is good and Im sure its strong enough. But the entire handle is exposed and its rather large for the size of the knife.

No. It is too narrow (about 1 inch). The BK-16 is 1.2 inches wide. I have a KABAR 1256 in this sheath. I also have a BK-16, but it does not fit in this sheath.

That's how I carry it & it rides fine. There are a couple of after market sheaths that sit better & have better retention. The one I have costs more than the knife but I think it's worth it. Let me know if you are interested.

The blade is slightly longer (than the BK) but the handle is a bit crowded, for larger hands. ... The flare, at the rear, tends to make my meaty mits feel a bit "bunched". ... Just fine if your hands are thinner (more narrow). ... There ARE better options and I think that the BK16 is one of them. ... If you can afford it, nothing beats the TOPS BoB Fieldcraft Knife. ... The Mora Bushcraft Black (with or without the enhanced sheath) is a great option. ... The Condor Bushlore and the Condor Basic-5 Inch are both very adequate. ... I carry the TOPS BoB Fieldcraft and the Mora Black as a reserve knife but, to be totally honest, I use my Spyderco Endura4 FFG or my Mora 840MG Companion for any tasks which they can handle. This saves my better blades for the things that ONLY they can handle.

I have an SRK, and I tried it in this sheath. The blade will fit, but is too short for this sheath (the KBar has a 7" blade, the SRK 6"). Plus this sheath is designed for a knife with a cross hilt, which locks into the sheath. Several years ago I got a Blade-Tec sheath made from krydex for my SRK and have been very happy with it.

mine was a hard kydex sheath, but had cheap rivets that rusted in 1 day (in all fairness, I tookit diving in the ocean). The titanium edge also evaporated in one day, when exposed to salt.

Ok, so if you bought this tomahawk... great choice! It is actually designed by ROB tactical, but for way less money. If you check out their website they have a pretty slick adapter that bolts to the kydex sheath. This unit can then be attached to your MOLLE gear.

I just pulled out my BK7 and BK11 and tested it for you, and NO it doesn't really work. The BK11 is too large for the secondary sheath insert that originally held the little BK? that used to ship for free with the larger BK7 and BK9. The BK11 sheath will slip inside the BK7's pouch, but the pouch flap is then in the way and needs to be tucked somewhere or cut off. IMO this pouch is better reserved for other gear like fire starting supplies and a sharpening stone. I personally think it's better to carry the BK11 around your neck, or in your pocket------------separately from the BK7. The knives serve different purposes, and I don't like to place all my eggs in one basket anyway. Hope this helps. :) W.W.

The BK-22 has a different, much better IMO, sheath and may have a different coating. The main difference is the sheath though, unless you plan on getting an after market sheath I would go for the BK-22 if at all possible.

Specs are the same. I'm thinking a product naming change, but not sure. The grind, hook and kerf are the same.

The mounting points for the TDI clip are not square, so it's not possible to rotate it. The TDI would also not be too secure going through just a belt loop in your pants, unless they were thick and wide. The sheath does have holes in it that you could always run some cord through, but it's obviously not the most convenient option.

I'm not sure if a BK7 would fit or not. The blade on my Ka-Bar is 7" long and 1-3/16" wide 4 3/4" from the hilt down to where it begins to taper to a point. If the blade dimensions of the BK7 are equal to or smaller, it would probably fit. Hope this helps

Kbar has a hilt, SRK doesnt. Kbar has a longer more Bowie style blade. SRK grip is an excellent textured rubber providing great grip. Kbar is leather. Both sharp right out of the box. Kbar has a leather sheath. SRK has an excellent kydex sheath. ill twist ur arm an say skip the typical kbar and check out "becker bk7". Kbar bought becker and that is more of a match or comparison to the SRK. The SRK will NOT let u down. I own both the SRK and bk7. My right hand man rocks a kbar so its also personal preference or style.

The sheath is your standard form fitted kydex. It does fit the knife securely and the knife does come out, relatively smoothly. I picked up a canvas over kydex aftermarket sheath made by Blackhawk, I believe, that in my opinion is a little better. For the money though, this a great buy.

My short K-bar has a 5 1/4 inch blade. I measure the blade section of the sheath and I don't believe your knife will fit. Perhaps one designed for the full size K-bar would work?

You may need to use Malice Clips to fully secure the sheath to the MOLLE webbing. I tried it with para-cord and it worked ok, but Malice Clips weave into the webbing and have holes spaced appropriately for the webbing and the KYDEX KA-BAR Fighting Knife sheath.
