Presenting the revived BK&T Campanion, made in the USA by Camillus Cutlery Company. Blade is of 017-6C tool steel (black coated to resist corrosion), handle scales are molded out of GV6H. For more info on the specs of the Campanion, refer to this thread by Will Fennell, Camillus' Product Manager: http://www.bladeforums.com/ubb/Forum19/HTML/000288.html
Here are a couple of pics of the new Campanion

This is a comfortable knife. The molded GV6H scales are contoured and rounded to fit your hand very well. though I have yet to use this one, the handles seem like the user's grip will remain comfortable even during hard use such as chopping. The knife is a bit blade heavy, which gives the Campanion good chopping abilities in light of its small size.

The Campanion nestled in its Kydex carry rig, which is fabricated by Scott Evans and crew at Edge Works. The sheath locks around the finger guard area of the handle and has an additional webbing strap that holds the top part of the handle in place. The carry rig is unique in the sense that it is molded in such a way that allows the Campanion to be carried and accessed easily from the left or right side, which ever you prefer. This is something that is not found on all Kydex sheaths! Kudos to Camillus and Edge Works for going the extra mile to do this. Having seen the Campanion, I'm looking forward to seeing the other Becker knives!
