As far as cutting/slicing ability, I think that they're pretty close to equal. I think that any one of the BK&T line would be great for the purpose you want the knife for. If you're looking for a terrific deal, then the C/U 7 is the best deal of the bunch. I'd be hard pressed to find a better deal anywhere. My personal opinion is that the Campanion is a little too thick (I think that it's actually a little thicker than the C/U 7 despite being over two inches shorter) and that if it was of thinner stock it would be a lot better. If you're looking to chop I would probably go with one of the longer blades. The other minor difference that has been mentioned before is that the guard of the Campanion is a little smaller than that of the C/U 7. I recently bought the C/U 7--just couldn't pass up a deal that good.

I also recently bought the C/U 7. I have no complaints about the knife or sheath. A great buy.

That of course would be Will's response! (Sorry Will!)
I have all of them except the tac tool and would have to say that the 7 is hard to beat all around, especially with the pouch on the sheath filled with a multi-tool! For a "pure" camp knife my vote goes to the Fisk magnum camp . . . for a pure chopper, my vote goes to the PM or the Brute. (Depending on what you are chopping)
"BUT" if you could only have one Becker . . . perish the thought
:barf: . . . my vote would be for the c/u 7!
