KA-BAR

I am very impressed with the Becker BK2. A solid, strong knife. I feel capable of doing all the survival needs one could have. I have no complaints about the performance of the knife nor the look or feel. The knife preformed above what I was expecting!

As a die hard Ka-bar classic man. I can say with certainty I will be purchasing at least one more Becker knife! I'm thinking a BK9 review will be coming soon!!

I cannot emphasize this knife enough. It is the survivalist's survival knife. It is not a short sword or a silly Rambo knife. You can baton through a piece of steel pipe and then go skin a rabbit or fillet fish or whittle an oak spear with this knife if you so choose. I think that sums it up pretty well. Indestructible yet tractable.

I want to keep this simple, this knife is just perfect, it handles perfectly, when I go camping I bring my BK-2 and a small folding saw 9". I try to avoid chopping with the knife in order to conserve energy, however the BK-2 is a splitting axe if thats what I need, it's a chopping knife if thats what I need, it's a knife thats weight is worth carrying, and I trust it. It feels comforting to be able to bring a knife like this.

My favorite knife! Have had it for a little more than a year and does excellent hardcore jobs, chopping, digging, fine work. Made a bow drill kit perfectly. Micarta scales are a must because the standard grivory is slick. The kydex sheath is good but the belt loop is junk, easy to replace with a large Tek Lok clip. Wish it would come polished or patina finished instead of black epoxy but very east to remove and refinish. This is my over all "SHTF" knife. Great job.

This knife is truly unbelievably good for what you are paying. I'm serious, I'm not going to buy another knife so long as I have this one. It's just an unstoppable workhorse. I absolutely love it.

It all starts and finishes with this knife. It takes anything you throw at it with ease!

Used this knife in combat in Iraq. It is a literal brute, I sed it for almost anything you can think of, even as a hammer on my 50 cal mount. It took punishment that would have destroyed any other knife. I know this because I went through 3 knives before I got this one. It is all you will ever need in a knife, this WILL save your life.

One really bas ass all around knife.....you can really use it as an axe.Strong,hard blade,nice handle.Really love my BK2.The only bad think its the poor quality seath...

Love my BK-2 this is by far the toughest knife I have ever owned, hands down. Tough in the Field as a survival knife, yet elegant enough to do small tasks with as well.

This knife is the thickest knife i have ever seen or owned wich is where its batoning and durability are derived from. this knife came in great condition moderately sharp and was all around impressive. the knife is a very heavy duty blade and is still holding up great after months of use and has very good edge retension i have only sharpened it once in the six months ive owned it and is still very sharp. this is a heavy weight compared to other knives of this class for instance Sog fusion bowie and the Gerber LMF 2 are no where near as beafy and durable as this knife. the sheath was great to i love the kydex sheath although it was my first so i do not have much to compare to. overall it is a great knife but it is a little small length wise for chopping wich i know it was not designed for that but this is just my opinion.

Love my BK-2!!! It is my daily carry knife, it is with me at all times!!! I have every US bayonet system going back to WWII, my USMC Ka-Bar fighting knife, BK-7, multitude of folding knives, every brand and style, yet the BK-2/BK-13 combination is with at all times. BK-9 is my next investment!!! I stiple the scales/handle, loctited the hardware, and added the pouch/molle attachments from another company, it is perfect!!!! Heavy, sharp, comfortable, dependable and a beast!!!!

Got my BK-2 yesterday and I love it. Did some testing of its chopping, cutting, and battoning capabilities and I am thoroughly impressed. This knife is brutal. The nylon belt strap on the sheath is much to be desired (too flimsy).

The BK2 is a beauty of knife in every sense. When the ammunition has finished your sights to the BK2 beside you and you know that you can survive.

I love my BK -2 I use it for camping here in Arizona,...it's a very rugged knife and holds an edge well. I am dissapointed the my BK-2 didn't come stamped in the blade the logo amd where its made. I believe it is laser etched, this will wear off in time. The blade coating started to wear off,...so I removed the last of it and keep the blade well oiled Other than that, it's an awesome camping tool.

This is no longer the knife you make. Please change the photo! This pretty much ruined a Christmas present I got for someone. I was going to show him how to customize it like the one he and I both fell in love with. You now make this with no stamp (just printed in white?!?) and some crazy rough coating, soo..... When you strip the ridiculous new coating (which true die hard users of this blade will eventually do as you know) it will no longer say BKT, which is nuts. I was proud to have a knife with your insignia on it. Now, when someone HAS to ask what kind of knife it is. I will just tell them that I have no idea. as to avoid the argument of why it is no longer stamped on the blade. I'm sure your answer will be that the new coating doesn't apply correctly with the etched logo, and my answer to that would be to listen to your customers and check your priorities. I won't even go into the sheath that makes it a waste of time to sharpen this knife. I am a long time customer/ carrier of your knives, and this is a damn fine piece of metal for the cost, don't get me wrong, But sometimes its the little things that count the most. I won't be buying/ recommending any more models that are made in this fashion. Therefor if I have to tell someone "make sure you get one of the older ones that......." I probably won't waste my time in the first place.

Pros: sturdy, holds edge well, great price Cons: sheath sucks, grips are a little slick I have owned a BK2 for over a year now. It is my go to knife when I go camping, hiking or hunting. At first the thick blade makes it awkward to do delicate work with, but I can use it to make feather sticks and clean rabbits. The one thing that makes this knife stink is the low quality sheath. if you don't button the knife in it folds over and I think it even dulls the knife. The grips are a little slick too. I bought aftermarket grips for it. Problem solved.

The knife is great. However, the sheath is a big POS. I need to use two hands to remove the knife from the sheath. The thumb release is useless. I have to hold the sheath with one hand and literally yank the knife out of the sheath. The nylon webbing with the belt loop is too flimsy. Not too much though was put into the sheath design. This would have been a 5-star rating if the sheath were better.

This knife is a tank, however I agree with the previous comment about the new coating and printed logo rather than the stamped logo that would never wear out. I was really disappointed to see that they stopped doing that. Now when it wears off I wont have the official KaBar stamp in the blade. Stupid decision on the part of the manufacturer. I realize this wont affect the functionality of the knife, but it does degrade the "cool" factor. Why bother showing photos of the stamped blade if that's not how it's made? FRUSTRATED! Coolest knife ever just got a bit less cool. My frustration/expectation led to a 3 rather than a 5 star review.
