Ka-Bar Becker BK2 Campanion Fixed Blade Knife



Product Description

For all those who camp, hunt or spend time afield. The Campanion works just as happily splitting out kindling as it does prying apart joints and skinning game, not to mention chopping onions for the campfire chili!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Survival Knife 1/4 The Cost Of Its Peers, March 26, 2009
By 
Ed Richardson "Ed" (New York City and Louisiana) - See all my reviews
I purchased this knife because I wanted an ergonomic survival knife that was both high quality and affordable. I got it delivered to me on a silver platter with this blade. A bolt of excitement will shoot up your spine the moment you grasp the handle and remove the cardboard shipping sheath from it and realize you're holding a tractable survival knife that is thicker than a pry bar. It is a serious hunk of metal at 1/4" thick - as thick as a Tom Brown Tracker or a Busse Ash-1 without costing as much as a Playstation 3.

Ethan Becker, the man who designed this knife, is a mountain climber, chef, and survivalist. He designed these same types of blades for the legendary but now defunct Camillus. Ka-bar was wise to ask him on board and he continues his basic approach - bringing people Busse-style ultra-thick high-quality steel fixed blades to those of us who don't want to shell out $450 for a used Ash-1 on Ebay or $275 for a Tom Brown Tracker. The Ka-Bar Becker BK2 Companion is... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Knife, September 15, 2009

This review is from: Ka-Bar Becker BK2 Campanion Fixed Blade Knife (Sports)
This is an awesome knife by Ethan Becker, available from KA-BAR. Great for handling just about anything you could ask from a solid everyday carry survival knife, including batoning wood. The edge that came on the blade was shaving sharp out of the box, the handle has one of the most comfortable I have come across, and the sheath is versatile yet durable. I can't speak highly enough about this work-horse of a knife that feels incredibly rugged in your hand.

The pricing here on Amazon is about as good as I have been able to find- I think I paid maybe a dollar or two less for mine from another website. Including shipping you should not spend more than $65 on this knife, which sets it even further apart as being an outstanding buy. If you do some research, you will quickly find that comparable knives go for at least $200.

Get the Bk2, you will not be disappointed.

This review is from: Ka-Bar Becker BK2 Campanion Fixed Blade Knife (Sports)
If you are looking for something light. Don't buy it. If you are looking for something that is rust-proof and requiring no blade maintenance, don't buy it. If you are looking for the sturdiest, most durable blade in a survival/camping knife, get this one. You can chop a 4" birch to the ground with this knife. Yet, you can get the thing as sharp as you want. It has no peer when it comes to the amount of abuse it can take. It is well worth the money. Get yourself one.
