If that would be my driving factor (and maybe it should be) I would only have one or two knives. Instead I have, well, more than I need lets say.
Just go buy the darn thing. You won't be sorry. Love my BK2.
But let me make a recommendation - buy the BK22 instead. The only difference is the sheath. The glass nylon sheath that comes with with BK2 looks good, but is difficult to use (the knife goes in easily but tough to get out of the sheath) while the BK22 comes with a Heavy-Duty Polyster Sheath With Front Cargo Pocket. Much nicer, more user friendly, more functional. JMO. I ordered the polyester sheath from Tomar's and may work on modifying the original sheath.
