Hey /out/, if you had to choose between the Becker BK2 and the Becker BK10, what would you choose and why? I'm in the middle of deciding which one I want.

Please provide information for both, as I am unwilling to do the leg work.

I'd probably chose the Enzo Trapper.

I'd go with the BK2. The point just seems more useful for camp jobs and carving than a tacticool tanto point.

I have the BK2. As well as many many other fixed blade and folders. For the price, the durability can't be beat. It's a pry bar with an edge. Very heavy duty. I haven't physically held a BK10, but I am very interested in one. For my purposes, the BK2 is plenty of knife. If the numbers mean anything, the BK10 is probably like a machete with a weight problem. I'm curious as to which you decide on. I may grab a BK10 just to cut whole sides of beef or dinosaurs.

Get yourself a real knife and buy a Mora.

Get the bk10, its the same overall size of the bk2 but its got a thinner blade that will actually slice well without sacrificing strength, the bk2 is thicker and heavier, which gains you nothing and cost you weight and cutting ability

The knife at http://www.kabar.com/knives/detail/186 doesn't have a tanto point, it has a clip point.

>>370202
I'd probably get the 10 over the 2. The only significant difference is about seventy thousandths of an inch thickness and I like the thinner knife better.

Then again, I don't use my knife as a hatchet, crowbar, or screwdriver.

If you must have a Becker, I would choose the thinner knife.

For the money the ESEE-6 is superior in every way. Personally, I don't like the balance on the ESEE-6, it's too butt-heavy and the only reason I don't own one. Some people don't mind. Pic related.

Other excellent options that I would choose over anything Becker:
Green River Hunter
Mora #1
Custom/Small maker. See Bladeforums.com

Personally when I go innawoods I take two knives: one thin, small (under 6" blade) and one large (12" or larger blade). The large blade is for rough/heavy work, and the small blade is for precision woodworking and slicing. Two specialized blades = better than one sharpened prybar that doesn't do anything well.
