I have a BK2 with Micarta coming from Tomars in a day or two. It's primary use will likely be my Jeep knife (under front seat), so while it'll be out of pack, I'm certain it'll take plenty of hikes with me as it'll be the only knife I have over 4" and under 10".

Knowing that and knowing this is my first Becker, I was curious what you've found the BK2 can do exceedingly well (besides cutting cinder or old lawnmowers :D) and where it's weaknesses are.

Many thanks!
 
Its weakness is slicing thin, It can be done but thinner knives will win.

The BK2 can almost do everything.....its just that good

You will find out when you end up taking it everywere with you
 
Weirdly, it's my goto knife for smaller tasks - carving spoons and the like. It excels at batonning and that sort of thing and does better at chopping than a short knife has any right to.

Yup... what he said.

Just don't see it sitting in the Jeep for a long period of time. ;)
 
Destroying those annoying rib stabbers that poke you when you're sawing. Sometimes I just wish I could replace my chain with a bunch of BK2s powered by a V8.

...that's what I was gonna say...:p

Seriously though, the BK2 is a great all-around knife. The knife feels solid and really gives you confidence in its abilities, without feeling heavy IMO.
 
That sucker will rip hell through any plant tissue, say you need to clear the road/trail or maybe just clean up the yard after a windy day, or you know, take down a mighty redwood.
 
From what I've seen on here, you can cut open your fridge, take out the olives and slice them up paper thin. You can't much more versatile than that.
 
They are hard to beat as a Tank of a knife that will get the job done anywhere and anytime. Course I like all my BK's ~~ and would not sell them or trade for anything. #1 in my book.*
 
i killed a bar with mine ;)

you know those baby on board signs? you can use a BK2 to make one. get a baby. get a board. attach baby. baby on board! yar!

there's nothing it can't do. it's the only knife Chuck Norris would eat :>

i'm working on a secret version with a pull start :)

ha, I see what you did there !!! that dates back to what 100yrs now..?? I wonder how many here actually get the historic value of this :D

you can also cut bubble gum, chop king size snickers, quarter up fruit wraps, use as a shoe horn and last but not least use it to whip cotton candy...:p

sorry I'm in a mood:)

I've used mine to chop down a 4" tree, I've batoned with it a bunch, sliced and diced.. but sadly at the moment it resides in my truck exclusively..

ETA: congratz on your new knife, you will love it or hate it.. please post your review before and after use.. :D

I use mine for when I go to a steak house, because you know the knives they give you to cut the steak with has a hard time with butter. Pretty much pick something you want to do and chances are the BK2 has already done it, and if the 2 hasn't then there is a BK that has.
 
Recent scientific research indicates that the Becker BK2 is the true cause of global warming.

The development of nuclear weapons was a mistake. The Manhattan Project was actually trying to invent the BK2, but the atomic bomb was as close as they could get.

The Lady of the Lake gave Excalibur to King Arthur because she had recently purchased a BK2 for herself and no longer needed an Excalibur.

Jedi knights must use light sabers because a BK2, when carried into outer space, develops its own gravity field.

A Becker BK2 can, in fact, destroy the One Ring.
