Screw all other blades!!! - I spent alot of time searching for a good knife to go along with me on our hiking/survival trips. I did plenty of research before i came to the conclusion of the BK2. Chopping, splitting, shaving tinder, skinning, prying, digging, stabbing, and anything else you can imagine... you can do it with this bulldog of a blade. The 1/4 in thick blade is unstoppable. Slashing through 1" to 2" bamboo came suprisingly easy. Splitting 2x4's and even 4x4's down the middle from battoning left me wide eyed. Alot of people that complain about anything regarding this monster should take a second look. The weight, I have no problem with... it helps pack a punch when it comes to chopping (it's like a compact camp axe.) 1/4" thickness of the blade adds muscle when you need to use it for prying (think of a small sharpened crowbar.) The handle feels great, its form gives you that extension of your arm feel. The pummel is beyond perfect. It wears good enough that I've replaced it with my everyday knife. It goes where I go. And the sheath, I like it as well. Most people complain about that and the weight the most. But, the sheath is simple, does a great job of keeping the beast on its leash till the time comes to pull it out. Plus it is one the few things out there that have alot of possibilties when it comes to personally modding it out. It's like the 10/22 of the knife world. My BK2 will be around long after I'm gone, and bringing as much reliability to my son as with me. It came out of the box razor sharp, when i did the simple hair test... it actually took off a couple layers of skin. Which I found funny since I'm normally safe when it comes to tools like knives. So, I took it as a comical blood bond with my new side kick. I have already turned many others onto purchasing this knife, and I would put this mini machete on the front of the list to any outdoor fan/ hiker/ survivalist. Thanks to my beautiful wife for the great birthday blade.******** 3/17/12--- I'm adding to my already posted review, not just to boost the bk2 some more... But to set the record straight on some of the more negative post's that i've read about it. I've had the bk2 for 6 months now. And have hit the trails with it numberous times already. I'm sure everyone already has heard of the chopping power of this monster. Well, living in the deep south of the pine belt... it has gone beyond what i've expected. Fire wood for camp on the trail is blown through with ease. Also, shaving kindling to start your fire will come simple as well. Down here, we also have alot of lighter pine. (old pine wood that has set up lots of resin) And anyone that has delt with this type of wood knows, that it is as hard as stone and always a pain to cut, chop, or chip... but if you do, you have some of the best fire starter out there. The bk2 takes on this task like an axe to a viking. Many that post bad reviews for this knife say that they would rather carry a simple smaller blade, and a camp axe or saw. Well, if thats your take on it... fine. But, i would much rather have a knife that can replace multiple items, than carry 3 or 4 different tools that do one thing each. I've also read that its not as good because it doesn't have a partial seration. Well, yes, but anyone being familier with a knife also knows that other than cutting rope... you really don't use seration. And if you keep your knife sharp, it should go though rope with no problems. People have also posted a negative of it being bulky and unmanagable. ??? Ok, to those people... you either have little girly boy hands, or you have no idea how to handle a blade. My last weekend hike, i used my bk2 to carve a wooden spoon. And it came out great. So, my take on these stupid negative posts i read... is that the people making them are those ultra light backpackers that think anything more than a swiss army knife is too much. (well to those, you can keep your swiss army trash for the cork screw wine bottle opener, and your top dollar north face gear. And i'll keep my bk2 monster that can do everything a knife, axe, saw, or anything else can do except open your bottle of merlot. And my carhart gear that will outlast that north face tent material jacket that will rip passing a rose bush.) And to the others out there that just simply dont know how to use a knife... you shouldn't play with big boy toys in the first place. Review: A fabulous beast of a knife at an amazing price - I have been looking around for a all around survival and outdoors knife for carry and backpacking. After quite a bit of research I purchased the this Ka-Bar Becker BK2. After a few days of snowy winter camping, really using this knife and putting it through its paces, I can certainly report, it exceeded all of my expectations. Details - The good: * The knife is definitely weighty. * The blade came sharp, but can definitely be sharpened further. * The handle feels sturdy and did not slip in my hand when wet, also felt comfortable with or without gloves. * The black coating over the blade is quite sturdy. * The thickness of the blade makes it feel stronger. * Fantastic Sheath, this one came with the glass filled nylon sheath. I'd like to speak to some of the other reviews of this knife and dispel some of the rumors. First off, the blade takes a keeps an edge very well. It came to be very sharp, certainly sharp enough to cut through paper easily. I did take the time to sharpen it myself adding a bit of a convex edge and keeping a 20 degree angle. Within minutes with two stones and a strop finish, the knife was hair shaving sharp. The knife handled outdoor tasks with ease. I was in the snow, and often the knife was wet. The grip did not slip for me and was quite comfortable in my hands. The knife worked well when chopping branches, chopping a dead tree, batoning, slicing wood, making feather sticks, or just cutting food. It retained it's edge throughout without the need for a touch up on the edge. When I came home I did strop the edge which brought it back to shaving sharp. The black coating (which protects the high carbon steel blade from rusting) took a beating and was easily cleaned with water to look brand new. Some have complained about the sheath being glass filled nylon and have worried that it will remove a sharp edge from the blade. After looking at the construction, the thickness of the blade itself actually separates the sides of the sheath as the knife pushes in and pulls out. There is no way that the edge will ever touch the sides of the sheath and it cannot lose an edge this way. They have made it easy to remove the nylon belt loop from the sheath to attach a belt clip instead, which is a handy feature. There are convenient holes in the sheath for attaching paracord. I added an allen wrench (the size used to remove the nuts in the handle of the knife) and a ferro rod to the outside of the sheath. Finally, the sheath is designed to keep the knife in! That sucker is tight and takes a bit of a pull to come out, which I think is a great benefit. I can't imagine it every coming out accidentally on the trail. Details - The bad: * Standard Sheath doesn't hold the knife up well if secondary snap isn't around the handle The only annoyance I had was if I was moving quickly and did not snap the second restraint around the handle, the knife would flop around against my leg. It would never come out of the sheath because, as I said before, it is in there very securely. Overall this is a minor issue (snap the button shut, or get a belt clip and carry it on your back). Overall I give this knife a 5! Great knife, very sturdy, fantastic sheath, and a great value. I plan to buy a second one! ## Features - 100% Synthetic - Imported - Meets US Military Specification ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001N1DPDE | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #58,432 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #79 in Camping Fixed-Blade Knives | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 5.25 inches | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Blade Shape | Drop Point | | Brand | KA-BAR | | Brand Name | KA-BAR | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 3,712 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00611105203151 | | Handle Material | Zytel or Ultramid | | Included Components | Sheath | | Item Length | 5.25 inches | | Item Type Name | KA-BAR Becker BK2 Campanion Fixed Blade Knife | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | KA-BAR Knives | | Model Name | BK2 Campanion | | Model Number | BK2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | KB-BK2 | | Power Source | AC/DC | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Residential | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 5.3" | | Special Feature | Full Tang | | Special Features | Full Tang | | Style | Bk-2 | | Theme | Outdoor" or "Camping | | UPC | 611105203151 100058635800 731244852338 838533662194 617717200021 | | Unit Count | 1 Ounce | | Warranty Description | manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Carbon Steel - **Brand:** KA-BAR - **Color:** Black - **Handle Material:** Zytel or Ultramid - **Included Components:** Sheath - **Model Name:** BK2 Campanion - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Residential - **Special Feature:** Full Tang - **Style:** Bk-2 ## Images ![KA-BAR Becker BK2 Campanion Fixed Blade Knife, Carbon Steel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41QV9O4dehL.jpg) ![KA-BAR Becker BK2 Campanion Fixed Blade Knife, Carbon Steel - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51k1Hopr8HL.jpg) ![KA-BAR Becker BK2 Campanion Fixed Blade Knife, Carbon Steel - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-+5DnweSL.jpg) ![KA-BAR Becker BK2 Campanion Fixed Blade Knife, Carbon Steel - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jcfvZQtoL.jpg) ![KA-BAR Becker BK2 Campanion Fixed Blade Knife, Carbon Steel - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61C+xfjBDyL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this a kydex sheath or nylon sheath. does the nylon sheath have a pocket** A: Everybody that keeps saying its kydex, its not it actually glass reinforced nylon wich looks and feels like nylon except its cheaper and dulls your blade overtime. I would recommend the bk22 wich is the same knife ecept it comes with a soft nylon sheath that has a built in pouch or an aftermarket sheath. I got an armatus carry sheath and I'm very happy with the both the knife and sheath. **Q: How does it match up to the Sk-5 Blackbird survival knife?** A: Blackbird is a better slicer, but it's not as thick as the BK2. Blackbird is my choice of blade between the two, based on superior metal and the way each knife handles. My SK5 did not come very sharp though, so if you're not a guy who can sharpen a knife into a scalpel, you might want to go BK2. However, I have never needed to resharpen my BK5 after getting the right edge on it. S30v steel is pretty awesome. **Q: I just got a new BK2 and noticed the Mfg. info is printed on the black coating and not stamped into the steel, is this a knock-off ?** A: KaBar got a laser engraver last year when the new BK16, BK15, BK17 came out. they started using that instead of rollstamping like they used to. It is a genuine KaBar/Becker product.It is still slightly in the metal...I strip all my Beckers and the three I have with the new laser etching still have visible markings afterwards. You can also use PCB etchant to make it deeper BEFORE you strip it. The ESEE guys have been doing that for years.ETA...they also started using a different style coating...textured black instead of smooth. the new coating is MUCH tougher then the old, looks better too. LOL I still strip it though **Q: I wear a xxl size glove. could anyone tell me if i could comfortably hold the grip of the bk2?** A: I wear XL gloves and have plenty of room on the handle. You’ll be fine ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This thing is a beast!!!

I plan to buy a second one! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Ka-Bar Becker BK2 simply walks into Mordor *by E***I on June 27, 2010* There is SO much to say about the Ka-Bar BK2, but I'll try to keep this short, sweet and to the point... no promises First off, I need to say that the pictures that they show of the knife on Amazon.com aren't 100% accurate for this knife. The picture that they show is of the BK2 first edition. The knife that you will receive if you order one is slightly different, but in a good way in my opinion. The bottom of the handle in the picture shows that the handle material and the bottom of the knife are flush together, when in reality the knife you will receive has an extended tang that sticks out of the bottom of the handle by about 1/3 to 1/2 of an inch; This allows for the knife to be used as a chisel. The BK2 is an absolute BEAST! You can put this knife through just about any torture test and it'll come out ready to kick Chuck Norris' butt. The blade is 1/4 of an inch thick which makes the entire knife feel sturdy and VERY hefty in your hand. The knife isn't a light one, but for camping or any other place you may need to chop wood, this knife will blow the competition out of the water. The BK2 is definitely more for brute jobs like chopping wood, cutting thick plastic or anything you would need a hatchet for. You can also use this knife as a chisel because of the extended handle that I mentioned earlier. The handle of the BK2 feels just as solid as the blade of the knife. The handle is made of grivory. Grivory is a very hard material which feels a lot like the love child if glass-filled nylon and aluminum had a baby. If you take the two halves of the handle apart, you have a fairly good sized space inside of the handle in which you could store some small survival items like some fishing line and a few hooks. The handle has a very solid feel to the shape of it; while the handle isn't made of a very "grippy" material, the shape of this knife handle will make it pretty hard to slip out of your grip, wet or dry. What better way to finish up a fantastic knife review than to tell you about the fantastic sheath that comes with the knife. The BK2 comes with an extremely well molded kydex sheath. (for those of you who don't like kydex, just ignore me while I gush over this sheath) It comes with many different customization options and places to wrap molle straps, paracord or other kinds of rope or material. Another plus to getting the newer generation model of this knife is that they improved not only the looks of the sheath, but also the functionality of it as well; The sheath now holds the knife in place extremely firmly, which is an area that they had problems with before with the earlier edition. The only downside to the sheath is the nylon strap that they used in order to attach it to your belt; The nylon strap loop is WAY to big. (this can be easily solved by stitching it together in the middle) There is even a section of the sheath that indents, making it possible to put something like a magnesium fire starter on it without interfering with the way the sheath fits snugly against your leg. The last thing that I love about the sheath is that it has a drain hole on the very bottom of the sheath, where the tip of the blade is, in order for water that may get inside of the sheath to drain out through. All together, this is one of the finest, most durable and BEST knives that I've ever owned. You will be VERY hard pressed to find a better knife that can do what this knife does, take the abuse that this knife can and still be as affordable as it is. This knife is absolutely the best value if you're looking for a knife that can take a TON of abuse and still work just as well as the day you bought it! ## Frequently Bought Together - KA-BAR Becker BK2 Campanion Fixed Blade Knife, Carbon Steel - Ka-Bar 6-0077HNDL-7 Becker Knife Handles, Micarta, Tan, 5.5 inch - Custom Cross Draw Sheath for a Bk 2 and the BK 1O Knife Hand Tooled Dyed Dark Brown --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1507794-ka-bar-becker-bk2-campanion-fixed-blade-knife-carbon-steel](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1507794-ka-bar-becker-bk2-campanion-fixed-blade-knife-carbon-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
