So i was looking at the Becker bk 16 as a backup knife for bushcrafty purposes (It doesn't have to excell at bushcraft but if it does thats better). I have seen videos on it and like the looks but i want your opinions.
 
Mine works pretty darn good after full flat convex conversion! Probably not as tough now, but I choose that over the thickness..
 
Doesn't have to be a backup for bushcrafty stuff. It does great in the main role. So does the 17. It's plenty big enough to handle everything but chopping. If you have a chopper, a 16, and maybe an sak you're set for anything you'd need to cut out in the wilds. Pretty much....
 
I think it would be a fine camp knife. Splitting kindling, cutting tent guy lines, hunting... maybe not the absolute best choice for every one of these tasks, but a good do-everything solution.
 
bk16 is solid. I carry it more than any other fixed blade I have when camping. The sheath is excellent, allows you to also carry a sharpening stone or multitool.

You should check out the Becker forum here for more options.
 
Great knife. If I didn't carry a Blackjack 125 in the woods the most, the BK-16 would get the nod. Yes, I have one.
 
The 16 is a great outdoor knife. You do your part & it will not let you down.

A solid field knife

Stripped the black coating off the blade
Put a more acute angle on the blade

Well recommended
