Kudos to Ka-Bar

About this time last year a really good friend of mine gave me a gift. It was completely unexpected, in fact it knocked my socks off. He gave me a Becker BK2 Campanion knife made by Ka-Bar Knives, Inc. This knife is awesome to say the least. (Thanks W! I know you'll read this so I just want to say that I love and appreciate this knife quite a bit!) It weighs in at about one pound has a 5.25" length blade and an over-all length of 10.5".

Trust me, it's a big knife.

The BK2 Campanion (yes, it is Campanion, not companion) is one of the most comfortable fixed blade knives I've used. Even though it is heavy the handle is contoured just right and fits in the hand perfectly giving you control and confidence. The back of the blade is 1/4" thick allowing you to use the knife as a wedge, beating on it with a bludgeon if necessary. The knife is sharp enough for field dressing a carcass but also strong enough to break a joint when quartering. It just is a great knife.

But that's not the kudos that I want to give Ka-Bar. Please keep reading after the jump!
