My daughter words were...”Oh that’s pretty ugly”. After she got to hack some branches, whittle, and baton some firewood...
“This is a knife for wood Dad!”
The BK10 is all good in my book!

I have handled one and I liked it. For me the BK2 is too thick and the BK10 seems just right. One of these days I will add one to the pile of knives.

I’ve also been eye balling that thumb ramp...
But after using it for a while it doesn’t intrude too much, and kinda is growing on me.

I gave mine a nose job and removed its Waddle 
I thought of removing the ramp but after I rounded the edges of the ramp I actually like it . Its much more comfortable on my thumb while making push cuts . The ramp is going to stay for now 
The 10 is a keeper in my book 
A no Waddle look. I guess if your intentions are doing a lot of stabbing the huge lower guard might be a good idea to keep it
the stock 10 Sheath is very nice but I sometimes want to take a larger knife on a hike without a pack. This setup is not bad right in the front pants pocket

The exact reason I went with the 10.
Thinking about sending a Taco Scout carry order 2 @azwelke as well.

Just stripped mine yesterday, and added a mustard patina. Ugly bastard is starting to look real good in a hideous way...

Here is my Bk10LE but I don't have the bell or whistle. Some Old time Heads or Becker history buffs will get that reference. A beaver did the woodwork I just used its handy work as a glamour shot.

To me the bk10 is what I think a survival knife should be. I know most would probably lean toward the bk7 for that, but I just prefer the bk10.
Geofs is right, it is Ethan's take on the classic pilot survival knife. I think Camillus just came to him one day and asked him to redesign it and boom we got the bk10.
Not mine but a cool ad I found on google.
