## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The End of a Long Hunt
*by J***X on March 19, 2011*

After many hours of research this is the knife I chose to purchase. My thoughts all revolving around what would be the one tool I would want to have on me in a long term survival situation. (if I could only choose one) To be completely honest, I have no hunting experience and I am limited in my use with knives. I have always hiked, fished, camped and have alot of experience with tools in my careers. However, selecting a knife for hardcore survival needs has been a several month project for me. This is the result after picking the brain of every outdoorsman I came across, hitting every gun & knife shop in three states, reading every review I could find and watching every video my computer could download. The main reasons I landed on the Becker Campanion is probably first and foremost the fact it is made by Ka-Bar. There are few manufacturers with this strong of a reputation, and if iit's good enough for our Marines, it's good enough for me. A very important feature in a fixed blade, especially of this size, is it must have a full tang. (that is the steel blade runs completely through the handle) This is essential for safety and durability. The model I ended up with has a tang that extends past the end of the handle to create a pomell that acts as a hammer. (some newer models do not add this feature) At a quarter inch thick, this blade is sturdy and heavy. I whacked through a sapling as thick as my forearm with little effort. It is not recommended to pry with your knife but I truly feel if an emergency dictated this need, I predict this blade could handle the job. I was tempted to go with the larger Bowie but after holding and using this knife I feel I made the right decision for me. I'm no Careem Abdul Jabar but would be considered to have a large hand and this knife fits nicely in my grip with perfect balance. I have slightly mixed emotions on the sheath. I love the body with the way the knife locks in and is easily removable with one hand. The material appears almost indestructable. It has drainholes with plenty of airspace around the blade to prevent rust and holes to lash to the leg. I'm not crazy about the nylon webbed belt loop. It's long and floppy. I would have preferred a leather loop attatchment for the belt. I have seen customizations made on both the handle and sheath on Youtube reviews that I found interesting. I think adding some simple stitching to tightin up the wide loop may help alot. If Ka-Bar were to add a few features like those found on Gerber's Bear Gryll's Ultimate Survival Knife this model would be absolutely unstoppable. Overall, I am very satisfied with this addition to my "All Hell Breaks Loose Survival Pack." If you are happy with the specifications, I assure you that you will be satisfied with the quality. I also feel this was not overpriced at sixty or so dollars at the time I made my purchase.
