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 easily in their league.
The Kydex shealth is excellent too - the knife snaps into it without even using the snap on belt and it's much tougher than leather and will not retain moisture. More lanyard holes than you could possibly need too.
I ordered my Becker Companion through Goliath and it came two days ahead of schedule. 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.

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.

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.

Heavy chunk of survival equipment!
This knife is beefy! I feel it is reliable and built well. Comes with a decent sheath and is fairly sharp out of the box.

A brute of a knife! Too much of a brute!!??
The BK2 is an absolute beast in terms of taking abuse. I can't add much more than what has been said about durability. For me, this knife is not for delicate tasks. Read more

As soon as you grab this thing you will love it. And when you start batoning through wood or chopping up sticks you will ask it to marry you.
