BK 2 questions

[JD Mandrell]

Is the factory sheath ambidextrous?

And are the current "grivory" handles, the same as the black hollow ones on the previous Becker knives?

And will the new Micarta handles fit the BK2?

Thanks!

Yes, the sheath is ambidextrous. A nifty feature is that the restraining strap also swivels 180 to make it easier to use righty or lefty.

The Grivory handles are, as far as I can determine, the same (really comfortable handles, IMHO).

The new Micarta handles were made expressly to fit the Ka-Bar Beckers, but apparently fit the older Camillus Beckers, too.

Love the BK-2. It's my go-to, all-around knife.

I think the new handle scales, while similar in design are thinner than the old Cam handle slabs. I only have the BK1 and BK10 form Camillus, not a BK2, but the KaBar BK2 handle is slimmer than the Camillus BK1, and the blade thickness is the same.
