## Description

Product Description For all those who camp, hunt or spend time afield. The Companion 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!. Once you secure the knife in the sheath, there is a spot on the back of the sheath where you apply pressure with your thumb to release the knife. The knife locks into place for safety, so it doesn't fall out. This isn't a defect, the user has to apply pressure to a certain spot on the sheath so the knife can actually be removed from it. desertcart.com Bring the KA-BAR Becker Companion Knife and Tool along on your next hunting or camping trip. This lightweight knife features a durable, 1095 cro-van steel blade, perfect for splitting kindling, skinning game, or chopping onions for the campfire grill. This knife features the drop point blade shape and a versatile 20-degree blade angle. The comfortable handle is made from Grivory, providing a balanced grip for any outdoor chore. The flat blade is five and a half inches long and the overall length is ten and a half inches. The knife includes a glass-filled nylon sheath to keep the blade safe and sharp. Made in the USA, the Companion knife and tool is tough enough to handle all your outdoor adventures.

Review: No issues here (And the sheath does NOT dull the blade.) - EDIT: (July-2015) Regarding this "the hard sheath dulls the blade!" business. I DOESN'T. The earliest versions (ones made prior to my review, years ago) of this hard fiberglass reinforced sheath had material at the mouth of the sheath that made contact with the blade edge on inserting & withdrawing. This issue has long since been taken care of YEARS ago and the sheath has had a redesigned rectangular cutout in that are ever since. So, the hard sheath I have is fantastic. If you like the nylon, get the BK22, if you like the sleeker hard sheath, go with the std BK2 here wituout fear of any concerns about it dulling your blade. That issue is ancient history. So ends the July 2015 edit. By now you've probably heard the obvious details so I'll try to comment on a few things that gave me concerns before I bought it. Some major things people have claimed are that it's too hard to remove from the sheath and worst of all, that the blade edge contacts the inside of the sheath dulling the knife. I won't say their claims weren't valid, but I'm happy to say there's no sign of either issue here. Grab the handle, push off with your thumb and out it comes. Perfect resistance, no more, no less. Perhaps Kabar addressed the issue, perhaps complainants forgot to eat their Wheaties. My knife was purchased through desertcart, new June 2012. The other claim of edge/sheath contact hasn't been the case here. While the sheath allows minimal play, they managed to keep it just right to avoid friction. Perhaps Kabar addressed that too. I even shined a light into the drain hole and looked for "saw" marks. None, whew, what a relief. That issue would have been a near deal breaker. The nylon webbing belt loop has too much excess allowing a lot of "slop" once on. Stitch it up the SIDES to the proper point to fit your belt and you've got yourself a nice small accessory pocket turning a potential lemon into lemonade. Regarding the knife itself, I'll echo every positive thing said of it. A slightly wrinkled finish or some stippling on the grip would have been an improvement but I still like the semi-smooth finish. The shape of the grip literally guarantees it won't go flying out of your hand. In a worse case scenario, say gutting an animal and up to your elbows in a greasy mess, could potentially see your hand slip forward onto the blade when contacting bone while doing a forward thrust. Possible, but unlikely. When it comes to indestructible fixed blades, I own a few Ontario blades since they're the guys who supply the US military. I like that endorsement. They also don't charge stupid prices. This is my first Kabar and I like what I see. I challenged myself to find even a minor blemish or imperfection. I can't, and that is unusual. This BK2 is flawless right down to its sabre grind. If I had to face the unknown and I could take one tool with me- it would be this or an Ontario RD6, or their SP8. For what it is, $64 is worth it. You can spend a little more and perhaps find its equal (Ontario RD6), but for no amount of money are you going to do better. No, I don't own every blade in the world, but I just can't see doing much better if at all. Oh, and if you want to find its match for less, forget it. Money matters, I know, but it's a matter of "buy once, cry once". Don't worry, you'll feel better once you feel this thing in your hand. It made me want to chop down a tree for no reason at all! But I didn't ;-). UPDATE: I hope you found the info useful in making your decision, except ofcourse for the dimwit who I've noticed has clicked "not helpful" on every single review. Maybe it's not malicious, after all, no review can be found helpful to an illiterate.
Review: Beastly knife. - I have not put this knife through the ringer yet, but I am sure it can take anything I can dish out. I understand some people's criticisms that this knife is a jack of all trades, but master of none. It could be used to do almost any outdoors task, including being used as a pry bar, but it is so big and heavy that it would not be good for fine cutting work (like a mora, or something lighter and smaller). That being said, if I could have only one knife in the woods, it would be this knife because it could be used for anything, including things that a smaller knife could not do. The thing I like the most about this knife is that if I severely damaged the edge, I could have it re-grinded because the blade is so substantial. I saw a test in a blade forum that involved a guy absolutely torturing this blade (cutting up a lawnmower, a refrigerator, even a cinder block), and the guy was able to re-grind the blade to almost new. After purchasing it, I now understand why. I think it could last a lifetime even if occasionally abused in the way a normal knife shouldn't be. Now for the minor gripes... The blade's edge was not very sharp out of the box. This is not a big deal for me because I usually sharpen blades myself when I get them. Not many companies put a razor edge on knives at the factory anyway. I have found that Mora puts an incredible edge on their knives (especially considering the price) and that my SOG seal pup elite was razor sharp out of the box, but Ka-Bar and Ontario only put adequate edges on their blades. Again, no problem because you need to be able to sharpen/resharpen your own knives anyway. Also, I don't care for the sheath. I have not witnessed the dulling issue that some have had, but I don't like the nylon belt loop. I might buy the blade tech attachment to replace the nylon, or get a custom sheath. The nylon just isn't sturdy enough and makes it difficult to remove the blade with one hand. Other than those two gripes, I couldn't be happier. Some people really bashed this product in reviews because they hated the sheath. To be honest, I haven't purchased many reasonably priced blades that came with good sheaths. And, this is not an "expensive" knife in the vast world of blades. The blade itself, which is why I bought it, gets 5 stars. The sheath would get two and a half. Since I am rating the knife, it gets five.

## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fabulous beast of a knife at an amazing price
*by T***C on January 27, 2014*

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!
