What can I say that hasn't already been said? Not much. This is an awesome knife and the price can't be beat. You won't find a better knife under $200. The closest exception may be the ESEE/RAT line of knives, but you are basically paying over $125 for a fancy handle as the steel and quality is basically exactly the same.

Get this knife (BK7) or the Campanion (BK2) first. Once you see the beauty and quality of these knives; the second you hold them in your hand and feel the comfort and power of what they can do...you will soon have the entire line up (BK2,BK7, BK9, BK11, and BK13). Another great part about this blade is the designer/manufacter designed this product to be an all around blade that could be the only blade you owned that would process wood, hunt and process game, defend yoursef, cut up a pineapple, etc... and the reason I say this is because while the big knife can do almost all of it, they gave an extra knife in the deal - the BK13. The BK 13 is a small knife that fits in one of the sheath pockets and is perfect for more delicate tasks like preparing fish and small small game, and helping to start a small fire (making kindling wood).

You can't lose with this one guys, it's a sure thing and a great buy. I reviewed blades in the 6-7 inch range and this knife beats everything else hands down, including the SOG Seal Pup Elite by a mile. Get this at this great price before either supply and demand drives it up over $100 (what it's actually worth), or something happens and it gets discontinued again and is gone for good. Like I've said in other reviews this is a family heirloom, it will outlast your grandchildren and their grandchildren, even with tough daily use.

A bit of other advice. Over time the nuts that secure the handle may become a little loose (the removable handle is great to clean the knife (once solid piece of 1095 steel btw) especially if salt water ever gets in it. But if you want to keep it extra secure for a long time period, get some lock-tite (here on amazon) and put a drop on each nut and you are good to go. There are many mods you can also do to this knife like micarta hand made handle scales, custom sheaths, etc. So it's a fun, beautiful knife that is versatile and is backed up by a strong guarantee.

Now make that order! If you aren't happy I may just buy it back from you!!! ;)

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect Becker, January 23, 2010

I have several Becker knives (BK9, BK7, BK11 and a Camillus made BK10) and they are all awesome, but the BK7 is by far the best! For weight, balance, swing, grind and overall utility value it trumps all. The BK10 is probably my favorite, but considering that it is no longer made and I have not handled the BK2, the BK7 gets my highest recommendation. You can't go wrong with Becker.
